Where to Watch The Time Machine
- BrightEmberFebruary 15, 2026One can tell just how influential this movie is- both the book and this adaptation, by both the tropes in play, and the absence of others. I'm glad I watched this piece of sci-fi history. As a Doctor Who fan, it's certainly a must. The ideas at play, and the costumes, are all entertaining and well done.
