  I just saw it. It is a very weak effort.

    Thanks for heads up, I was thinking of possibly going, now I will go buy or rent A.I. instead.

      I have a $5 bet with Geoff Kait that THE TIME MACHINE will not gross in excess of 28.5 million in the first ten days of its release. I think I got this one in the bag. Agree?

  ...it slathers on overwhelming doses of digital FX, rewrites the girl in the future as a bigger romantic interest and adds a specific villian leader in the form of a larger than life hollywood type.

  Joy. When you aspire to make nothing more than drivel you can't be surprised at the result. As a big fan of '50s- '60s SF I expect very little of this.

  Buy the DVD of the original instead.

  Since Guy Pierce saw fit to be involved with it, maybe there's hope.

  I remember seeing the 1960 George Pal Time Machine when it first came out. I was about 7 and thought it was about the coolest movie I'd ever seen. I've watched it many times since and still like it very much, even though it does take great liberties with the H.G. Wells story.

  I will see the remake, hoping it won't be yet another waste of $8.50 and two hours. I don't mind SFX, as long as they don't get in the way of the story.

  I'll give you my review as soon as I've seen it.

    I read an article in the paper today saying that they apparently jettisoned most of the class warfare stuff and have made this into a love story with a lot of neat-o digital effects. Great, sounds like the PEARL HARBOR approach. It's being directed by H.G. Wells' great grandson, Simon Wells.

      The reviewer in the Milwaukee paper today completely trashed this film and gave it one star. I won't go into the details for the benefit of those of you who are hell bent on seeing it.

        Add Ebert to that list, too. And I had such high hopes for it. What's next, a remake of "War of the Worlds"? Let's hope "Resident Evil" delivers the goods.

      Who watches this crap "they" are producing they are producing these days ? What are the actual demographics here ?

      Granted that most of the new audience doesn't know it's a remake, it doesn't take that much of an effort to rent a copy.
