I first saw The Time Machine when I was young and is one of my favourite sci-fi movies.
An inventor, George develops a machine that can travel through time and he shows the model version of this to his friends to prove it. Despite it disappearing, they don't believe him. He then starts time travelling and first stops off during World War One, then briefly World War Two and then arrives in 1966 and discovers a nuclear war in progress (which never happened of cause). After the nuclear bombs have dropped, causing a volcanic eruption, he travels to the far future where he ends up in the world of the Eloi and the Morlocks, cannibalistic mutations. After meeting Weena and falling in love with her, George helps to defeat the Morlocks and then returns to his own time. After saying goodbye to his friends, he returns to the far future.
This has great special effects and a good music score.
The excellent cast includes Rod Taylor (The Birds), Yvette Mimieux as Weena, Alan Young, Sebastian Cabot, Tom Helmore, sci-fi regular Whit Bissell (Creature From the Black Lagoon, I Was A Teenage Frankenstein) and Doris Lloyd as housekeeper Mrs Watchett. Taylor and Mimieux were to be reunited in 1968's Dark of the Sun.
The Time Machine is a must see movie for all movie fans. Fantastic.
Rating: 5 stars out of 5.
