"It seems so long ago."
Upon seeing his fiancé killed before his eyes, Alexander Hartdegen (Guy Pearce) develops a time machine in an attempt to change this traumatic event. Unfortunately he repeatedly fails and in a huff sends himself 800,000 years into the future. There he finds the Eloi and bonds with one member of the tribe in particular, Mara (Samantha Mumba). But then she is snatched by the warlike Morlocks and he determines to fight back and save her. In doing so he comes up against a philosophy spouting uber-morlock (Jeremy Irons).
A mildly diverting version of the HG Wells classic. Though I still prefer the 1960 George Pal version of the two.
