The Time Machine Ratings & Reviews
Darren Webster
September 1, 2025
As a classic, which is crazy that 2002 is kinda classic, this movie isn't bad. It's a fun ride based on H.G. Welles classic novel. Looking at it today, what with all these franchises, this could have been a trilogy. In doing sao it would ahve allowed for more "time" to tell a fully flershed out version of the novel. Regardless, it's still an enjoyable ride, even today, just don't go in expecting any miracles.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
A good movie based on H.G. Wells' classic novel.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Although it gets off to a decent start, this "Time Machine" breaks down when it gets to the distant future, which in this case isn't a good place to be stranded.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
If H.G. Wells had a time machine and could take a look at his kin's reworked version, what would he say? 'It looks good, Sonny, but you missed the point.'
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
One of those staggeringly well-produced, joylessly extravagant pictures that keep whooshing you from one visual marvel to the next, hastily, emptily.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
Pitiful entertainment, succeeding neither as spectacle, as action-adventure, or as love story.
eye WEEKLY
Adam Nayman
It's passable big-budget trash, with a few diverting moments and a refreshing clarity in the design of the sets and special effects.
Village Voice
Dennis Lim
If it's remembered at all, it will be as a time capsule of early-21st-century blockbuster cowardice and redundancy.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
A zippy 96 minutes of mediocre special effects, hoary dialogue, fluxing accents, and -- worst of all -- silly-looking Morlocks.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
They gave The Time Machine a major overhaul and ended up with a clunker.
L.A. Weekly
Manohla Dargis
In the new film, it's personal tragedy that provokes the journey, not social upheaval or even scientific curiosity -- which, predictably, makes for a story that's at once more familiar and less interesting.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Amazingly stilted before accelerating into its exciting finish.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
The film is weirdly disjointed and uncertain as to tone.
USA Today
Mike Clark
Simon Wells, whose other films include the animated The Prince of Egypt and Balto, manages to gut all the gee-whiz from the practically foolproof time-travel genre -- despite being H.G.'s real-life great-grandson.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
... unlike the shiny machine at its center, its timing is off, and it never quite soars.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
... there's something wrong with a time-travel movie that allows an audience's interest to drift so that we have time to worry over where he's parked, and whether he remembered to take his key.
Salon.com
Charles Taylor
... an agreeable time-wasting device -- but George Pal's low-tech 1960 version still rules the epochs.
Newsday
John Anderson
Not exactly H.G. Wells, but sturdy and effective.
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
Everything else that the filmmakers have done in their thoughtless, lazy way to 'improve' the original formula serves only to leach the drama and excitement out of the underlying story.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
The far future may be awesome to consider, but from period detail to matters of the heart, this film is most transporting when it stays put in the past.
