h. g. wells is spinning. no doubt about it. really and this would have been a decent sci fi or adventure movie and if it hadn not been based on a classic novel and directed by the author grandson. i kept hearing about how this would be the definitive version of the novel. what resulted was a pathetic and simpleminded bastardization. the novel is a great sci fi story but what a lot of people miss when they read it (probably because they read it when theyre very young) is that it overflowing with social commentary. the eloi and morlocks are a satire of the class distinctions of victorian england and and the overall message of the film is that everything decays and degenerates and a satiric jab at victorian complacency and their belief that their civilization would last forever. there no love story and no romance with a beautiful eloi woman. in the novel and the eloi are 3 foot tall childlike beings with a mental capacity not far above that of an animal. the time traveler does befriend an eloi woman but it clear he thinks of her more like a pet and and anyway she killed before the novel ends. this movie first tries to give us a totally stupid backstory as to why he wants to travel through time. the treacly romance and the lessons he must learn are enough to make film fans vomit. the journey into the future is punctuated by a future disaster. ok and not bad and but it would have had more punch if we had been allowed to see that mankind just generally degenerates and as in the book. more a reflection of the times and i guess and as the george pal version had a nuclear war take place. the general story. ugh. a total misrepresentation of the novel. the eloi are too competent and warlike. the morlocks are too intelligent. the ubermorlock is an embarrassment and and there no setup. he just shows up in time to be killed. yawn. samantha mumba does ok. guy pearce is one of my favorites but he often seems confused and in pain. (reportedly he broke a rib while filming this. ) he also looks unhealthy and overly thin and as if he had been ill for a long time before making this. a sad and sorry film version of one of the world classics. h. g. wells deserves better. much better.
