“You’re a man haunted by those two most terrible words…’what if?’ “ this scene was always one of my favorites. The dialogue is golden
you gotta be a girl or a little boy 🤣
@@stevenbluestone2014 lmaooo I don’t even care I like it😂😂
It's an all time great scene.
And going with the comment above yours, the haunting of the "what if?" is something only the Uber Morlock knew until now. He probably longed for intelligent conversation his entire life. Now the very thing he sought, and the question only a sentient mind can ask, is his doom. As poignant as the rest of the movie.
@@stevenbluestone2014 and you're a clown
The Uber Morlock was probably very pleased to have an intelligent conversation with another sentient being after being surrounded by mindless brutes for so long.
I’m sure he has intelligent convos with the other Uber morlocks of other colonies.
@@thegreyavenger2 Yeah, but they'd all be either:
1. So how's your colony going?
2. I just love eating people.
3. Isn't it great that we're doing the same thing over and over and over?
@@Lorgar64 beyond the eating people part, yeah id never just do the same thing over and over....oh wait.
Could he hold a coherent conversation if he hadn't any experience with conversation?
In fact, where he got his vocabulary from and why he speaks English? I don't see many books laying around..
@@edmis90 I can’t really remember but isn’t he psychic? He probs just picked up English vocabulary from our main dude’s mind.
"Who are you to question eight hundred thousand years of evolution?"
That's the key phrase of this movie.
"I'm eighty-five million years of evolution."
That's one thing some of us realize in life that brings us a lot of humility. Whenever I hate something else I just think "hey, the 14 billion year old formula of the universe had made it clear that that thing which I hate is granted its moment in life just like me and just like those that hate me, eat a Snickers."
Then when I realize this and calm down I realize that my hate is justifed too and I am angry once more!
@@Trollamollex "and then i advertised a hersheys INC. product" cool
See what most people don't realize that when he says this he picks up the little bioluminescent fish and keeps it in his hand for a while for a few seconds before letting it go he habitually acknowledges his predator nature using his cerebral abilities to feel the fear of dying from a lesser creature. Also in this case the lesser creature is also Alexander
I feel saying that to malnourished & weak vegans everywhere.
Nice, subtle detail in that this entire scene the Ubermorlock barely raises his voice above a whisper. He's so powerful he doesn't need to shout to be heard. Also that might be the first time in years that he's actually spoken to someone with his mouth!
The truly powerful don’t need to shout to show their power
Otherwise he uses his butt, because the only tape that survived was Ace Ventura. They think it's a documentary.

@@crimsondynamo615 "He who must say 'I am King' is no king"
Jeremy Irons had such a small role but did a phenomenal job in this scene!
Garrett Frugé as he always does!
A brilliant actor.
Best scene from whole movie
i think it's amazing that even under all that make-up we can still instantly recognize him.
@@imperfectpianistmusic7390 Seen Dungeons & Dragons? Irons chews the scenery with such vigour he must have been constipated for the next six months.
I feel sorry for the uber morlock, he really did try his best to help Alexander understand the time paradox he was trying to create and meant him no harm.
Oh, he meant him harm alright. He simply didn't act on it for the very same reason he gave Alexander: _"What if?"_
As the Morlocks came into being through the indirect efforts of Alexander (he helped a young Einstein with some equations, Einstein develops atomic theory, nuclear excavation explosives are used to hollow out the Moon for subterranean colonization, an accident happens with the explosives leading to the destruction of the Moon, subsequent Moon meteorite bombardment of Earth forces people into underground bomb shelters, 800,000 years later - _BOOM!_ - Morlocks) he couldn't risk killing Alexander just in case that would somehow screw up his own timeline: _"What if?"_
So he was happy to send him on his way to maintain the status quo; but out of enlightened self-interest and practicality, not magnanimity. Under any other circumstances, he and Alexander would be having dinner "together" if you catch my drift. The Uber Morlock is sinister and quietly menacing, but he's also intelligent enough to realize the situation for what it is.
@@JohnDoe-zl6qw I don't know if it was that far ahead. Imagine meeting your great great....great ancestor and you could have one chat before letting them go.
He didn't try to intimidate him, nor acted with superiority or malice. He just gave Alexander his device back, and even his pocket watch. The guy doesn't seem that happy about the order of things, but what else can he do about it?
@@reinertgregal1130 _"I don't know if it was that far ahead."_
1:55 _"Who are YOU, to question...eight-hundred...thousand...years......of Ee-vo-lution?!?!"_
The Uber Morlock knew he stood on a precipice that could see his entire world order destroyed if he made the slightest misstep where Alexander was concerned. If he wanted to survive, he _HAD_ to let Alexander go. The sooner the better lest some weird paradox or corruption of the space-time continuum occur. He needed Alexander alive but gone ASAP!
This is a cannibal among cannibals, controlling a tribe of cannibals and treating it with nonchalance as if it's just natural. He in no way, shape, or form was doing Alexander any favors. He was motivated purely by enlightened self-interest. If he could have killed Alexander without consequence, he would have. But he couldn't risk the potential repercussions that may have rippled down the time line as a result. So he did the only logical thing: he let him go.
He represents sinister but intelligent evil with his hands tied by circumstance.
@@reinertgregal1130 as he stated to Alexander, a dream, the watch. That indicated a reason, a change. Something better. And I think Alexander instead of fighting him. There could if been a reason for molocks and humans to live together.
0:48
I love how the Uber Morlock says 'Yes' here. He sounds so confused by Alexander's question, because the Eloi being food for the Morlocks is the cycle of life in this future and has been like that for so many years that it's completely natural, and Alexander criticising it like that is something the Uber Morlock hasn't heard before. Great acting by Jeremy Irons.
Jeremy Irons doesn't just steal scenes, he's capable of stealing entire movies.
“Margin call”is about a mildly fictionalized version of the 2008 financial crisis. Pretty interesting but Jeremy irons has a scene at the end that steals the entire movie.
@@jamescourts1030 He did still this one. He stole the whole movie with this scene. It's literally the only thing I remember
The voice of reason, the grown up, the one who truly understood. He was even merciful enough to tell the traveler what he had to know and let him go.
This comment was so on point when i think back on his part in the Eragon movie. He was the best character in the movie but the movie itself was a big letdown.
...... except this movie
"Who are you to question 800,000 years of evolution?" ...actually a pretty reasonable question.
And like any scientist would say Evolution doesnt work like that
Not when logic transcends science and evolution
It's not evolution as much as it is bioengineering.
Selective breeding.
@@aennaenn7468 Technically still evolution if you think about it. Just controlled by an intelligent design. Evolution is the change and adaptation of various species over time. Even selective breeding is still that.
Is evolution proven yet or is it still a theory?
This is honestly the best time travel movie out there. Bringing up ethical and social issues of long term human evolution.
yeah, I just wish the director/producer didnt go the lazy route with the confrontation/final battle.
@@willia3r yes the Uber should have been respected. He treat Alex very fairly
And based on the original time travel story.
As a serious time travel movie, the 800k into the future is so terrifying and fascinating to me
To me it mostly brings up the question if higher intelligence gives somebody the right to hunt and kill another feeling being. Because humans are doing it right now. They are farming and killing billions. Applying the label human to the "food supply" doesn't really change anything. Why would beings more intelligent than us should treat us better than we are treating other beings?
This is such an under rated movie. I swear. This movie deserves so much more credit. The SAD part, Jeremy Irons character literally understood him! Sympathized. Even gave him the answer. We all pay a price, ... Alexander. There is so much meaning in that.
Very underrated movie. I can't fathom why it got panned. I could watch it over and over.
@@paullasky6865 I watch it every couple of years to relive the movie
@@smileygabe22 same!! I would say for that reason it's pretty much in my top 5 or 10 favourite movies of all time.
Most likely because the body couldn't support a head of that size, so instead the brain started growing down the spine.
Messed up.
🤢
@@lucascoval828 Yes but its not far off from modern humans. Babies these days are born with bigger heads than ever before which make cesarean births more & more the norm.
@@jakep1979 there’s no proof of that at all 😂. Cmon now. There isn’t a single study that shows that babies are being born with bigger heads.
@@jakep1979 the human brain has been shrinking for the past 28,000 years as our synapses become more efficient at transmitting electrical pulses
or the human head can't grow big enough to support a huge brain from the womb on out.
Which is where cloning from nutrient bags come into play.
I love the fact that Jeremy Irons was definitely the first to play this albino fantasy/fairytale type character and then all the sudden you see Luke Goss having this same look in Hellboy 2 minus the spine action in the back. Two amazing characters played by two great british actors.
I think there a was a movie where a similar looking character villain used to kil w a dic i don't remember the name of the movie though
Also matrix 2
Both Jeremy Irons & Guy Pierce are such underrated actor's. Both of these gentlemen deserve more than just recognition & respect to their Craft. Their performances are absolutely legendary IMO.
Absolutely agree!
are they underrated, though?
I don't think either are underrated. Especially Jeremy Irons. He has one of the most iconic voices in movie history.
@@jaredmclaughlin5529 I don't mean that in a Negative light. I just firmly believe they need more credit than they got. Both are phenomenal actor's IMO.
@@tyberiousbeck7155 for this film? I totally agree. It was pretty overlooked when it came out. Which is unfortunate because they both killed it.
I love how the morlock isn’t antagonistic towards the protagonist, he is even willing to help him, as his helplessness in the world was causing him problems. He only got violent when the protagonist tried to up end his world.
He wanted him to join.
I would have joined
His simple cold acknowledgement:
“You mean your hunters!”
“Yes.”
“To be your food?”
“Yes.”
“We all pay a price. Alexander.”
👌🏻
I liked how he just very briefly paused before each "yes", as though having to remind himself that Alexander was a man out of time; that he didn't understand what the Morlocks had for so long simply known as the way things work. It's the same way we'd respond to someone asking us if we ate food off of plates or wore underwear under our clothes.
this movie was so underrated
i loved the original book, but i also thought this movie was beautiful, and even thought it differs from the source material greatly, i find it to be very entertaining
Camry Long agreed.
+Camry Long (Camry's Blu Unboxings) very underated. a cult classic that is changing reality actually, soon to come into a revelation state.
+Camry Long (Camry's Blu Unboxings)
Yeah,to be honest, I think the critics were too harsh on the film.
+Camry Long (Camry's Blu Unboxings) I love the original but this one took it in a slightly different direction and I enjoyed it just as much. And the time moving sequences were amazing!
Yep, you're right. This film sums up all the striving of modern times. It is a most worthy addition to the long series of Wellsian time traveler films. And it gives us the lovely Samantha Mumba. The ultimately bandage for our weary time traveler. I course I'm biased, a male and Sam looks pretty lovely to me! She is every little boys, best dream! The Uber wants her! The time traveler wants her! I want her!
I watched this movies once at 2002 but that line stayed in my brain forever.
"Who are you to question 800,000 years of evolution? "
Same 😅
Interesting thing: the Morlocks' origin in the book is different in the movie, the Morlocks evolved out of poor people who were forced to work in harsh conditions by the rich and powerful and hunt down humans as a sense of vengance for years of enslavement. That probably is why the Uber Morlock justifies their reasoning to kill humans
Man if only the rest of the film had been as interesting as this scene with Jeremy Irons...this isn't a bad movie but it could have been so much more!!
i wouldn't have changed anything about the movie...
What film is like this scene all the time?
@@TomMisaki745 what, powerplay between an overpowered top-hierarched guy & main hero who's about to beat them?
@@mr.4096 Have you ever read the book ? 'Cause the movie has nothing to do with it and he's pretty bad.
@@Red_TheColor i have not
Jeremy Irons really did live for 800,000 years for this role.
Props to the cameraman for sticking around as well.
this character has a left such a strong impression on me since i first saw it as a child... so fascinating
He minds control them and says that without control they would exhaust the humans in a matter of months... Alexander proceeds to kill the dude using mind control, so you know, after that, couple months later.... I love the line. " Who are you to question 800.000 years of evolution"
The moment he turns around and we see just how big his brain is has stuck with me since I first saw this film.
1:08 love how the leader gets little angry as if he really doesn't want to kill the eloi but given no choice because he's only trying to survive
While its not the best movie, the conversation in this film is quite solid. Its one of my favorite time travel movie.
The way I see it, this Morlock was severely depressed by the lack of control of the things he wished he could control: living outside, under the warm sun.
I always wondered about his melancholic attitude. Perhaps reading the Time Traveller's mind, he realized for the first time what a comparatively wonderful life his ancestors had, and what a sterile life he had been born into.
@@Hunpecked Maybe that's why he initially set him free.
It's called lack of vitamin D. Come to Vancouver, BC and you'll find tons of people like the Morlock walking around in a depressing stupor.
@@charndeepbhangoo7556 I don't know about Vancouver, but the Eloi spent a lot of time in the sun, so they were probably chock full of vitamin D. Although it just occurred to me, the boss Morlock might be a vegan. 😆
Lack of Vitamin D like Gollum
Jeremy Irons kills it in every role he takes on.
Any Stargate fans think this guy looks like a wraith?
Looks like the guy in hellboy golden army.
Yup, was about to comment the same.
He does look like a Ring Wraith for sure! 😉
looks like kain from blood omen 2

@@causeeffect7624 yeah because this is based off the reptilian theory. the demons and aliens that live under us hunt us for food. they drink our blood and feed on our flesh because the chemicals in our body make them immortal.
The Time Machine (2002) is a truly excellent book adaptation
No it's not 😂
I feel like this was a good example of judging people based on morality when morality itself varies by people, culture and time itself.
Exactly. The dude just very plainly says “yes” when asked if they are food because it’s as simple as that. It’s not about cruelty, it’s that they have to eat
We don’t get mad at lions for eating their prey.
I’m sure if there was another way they would consider it but there must not be
I’ll give them to the fact that the ones who do well below are the ones who provide the food and clothes for the ones above it seems only fair that the ones below get something in return for all their work. Because the ones above just seems to be relaxing and enjoying the sun and all the fruits above but give nothing in return.
Morality always boils down to 4 questions:
Would I want done to me what I'm about to do to others?
Do others want me to do xyz to them?
Will doing xyz cause harm?
Will doing xyz protect against harm?
morality it seems is no more an evolutionary trait than our nose ears and hands.
Yet our society has been on a tirade the past year judging people of a different time (the past) on the perceived morality of today.
It's almost as if many of them are incapable of seeing past their own reality, much like Alexander did in this conversation.
Aerys Targaryen right here. HBO needs to cast Irons for a Robert's Rebellion series.
+Paul Morris That's such a good idea!
+Paul Morris It's funny cause Robert Baratheon was in this movie. The main guy's friend from his original timeline is played by Mark Addy.
Agreed though they already started using another actor in brans vision scenes. Irons looks like one of the night kings lieutenants. Or a Aerys Targaryen or any ancester turned into a white walker. If only he was in game of thrones
@@Scarecrow545 And Guy Pierce is actually married to the actress Carice van Houten who played Melisandre.
And that's the bottom line 'cause Stone Cold said so!
Alexander doesn't really make much of an argument here, and the Morlock kind of makes sense when he says this is just how Nature and Evolution have forced them to be. Alexander would've been better off arguing that as sentient beings the smart Morlocks and the Smart Eloi could at least make the effort to work together.
+ShadowSonic2 he would have. but was an Eloi, and the morlock eat them. his argument was probably aprapo, meaning appropriate. ppl miss the analogy. that is going on today
+ShadowSonic2 He should have made the argument that what they were doing was barbaric (as well as cannibalism), and what they should be doing now is breeding among the Eloi, introducing their pigments into their gene pool. I t would take thousands of years, just like it did for them to breed into castes, but with selective breeding, I think they could breed back in skin pigmentation eventually, and be able to live on the surface without getting skin cancer.
They would still have to continue on as usual (though I am surprised that not a single species suitable for food survived, and yet the humans on the surface did), but at least they'd be doing something!
+Joel Szasz Thing is, the Morlock Hunters were fully capable of living on the surface. It must just be the Uber-Morlocks who can't return and so they're perpetuating the system.
+ShadowSonic2
So they could have selectively bred with the Hunters. The genes are there (though I doubt they'd be able to find any volunteers; the hunters are hideous!).
Taqifsha Nanen
Okay, then back to selectively breeding with the Eloi! They have plenty of healthy skin genetics!
In a dark twisty way the Uber Morlock is almost beautiful.
Kinda like how the Others in ASOIAF are.

"Do you eat human beings?"
"I can not tell you. It's confidential...
...anyway, how is your sex life?"
I love the conversation between those two.
Jeremy Irons has got to have one of the highest screentime to awesome ratios out there. He isnt always in good movies, but he is good in every movie he is in and often in relatively short appearances
Hear hear.

Not if the timeline is branching and partially feedback onto itself at some point rather than linear
Jeremy Irons, Arnie, and Malkovich. Perhaps the 3 most distinctive voices in Hollywood!
I don't know what it is about this particular Morlock but somehow even though he speaks so damn quietly his appearance and his personality gives him a very very unsettling presence and the fact that he's just so unbelievably calm is really quite interesting,the fact that at the same time he looks so human yet so otherworldly makes him look that much more unsettling 🤔
he looks just like Kain from Blood Omen
+silenig I suppose your smarter than the average bear in the partial id
That's what I thought when I first saw him.
I was like "Holy shit, is that Kain?"
I actually said "Holy shit is that Scar from the Lion King?"
silenig font of putresence!
Is he a vampire? I bet they took some ideas from the original story/narrative that kain and soul reavers based off.
One of the most coolest and creepiest movies I ever saw as a teenager and this blue monster was still here in my memory today 2022
Even he killed this Über morlock there were much others. "You see im just one of many" so this whole thing killing this Über morlock was pointless and stupid.
It's the start of a war.
also considering without this uber morlock, the food supply be exhausted within months.... that what happen when you put feeling first over logic into action!
Also time machine. Could've gone back in time to prevent this from ever happening.

So in 800,000 years the English accent will still exist?
Brilliant!
Did you notice the continued survival and functioning of the ancient computer systems, which were under the control of what appeared to be at least human level artificial general intelligence? That would be a game changer.
I remember watching this movie as a child. The movie was very interesting to me at that time, which is why i'm surprised that critics only gave this movie 28% on rotten tomatoes.
"Critics" the audience are the only real critics and the drinker 😆
@@OneofInfinity. Just ask Tatjana Hehehe
Closest we'll get to seeing Elric Of Melnibone on the movie screen.
Sleepy Starspider Elric is far younger tho
They look like the wraith. Someone call Rodney McCay and John Shepherd
I think they got to Earth after 800,000 years. They destroyed themselves and then the wraith made their move and took it over.
"Don't worry, I control them...without that control they would exhaust the food supply in a matter of months."
Interesting for Jeremy Irons' character to say that when he played Scar in The Lion King where he teamed up with and led the hyenas to exhaust the food supply - under his control.
truth in plain sight
I remember reading this book in class then going to the theater to watch the movie. Damn, I'm old..
Jeremy Irons steals every scene in every movie he's in.
love that line "who are you to question 800000 years....of evolution"
from Alexander's point of view is questionable. But, on the other hand, that's how nature has gone. It is like questioning the colour of the sky, the principle of gravity or death itself, it is the nature of things and that is above any single human or any reasoning.
"Who are you to question 800,000 years of evolution?"
Honestly he makes a very good point.
So you would agree with WEF & Klaus Schwab's goons then too ? 🤔😒
@@davidbolha Ah that would be a big no. I very much believe in freedom. I'm talking more from the standpoint of a relic coming from the long distant past making moral judgements. If someone came from 800,000 years ago and made judgements against you, what would you say? You'd probably react similarly to Jeremy Irons' character
I liked the character played by Jeremy Irons in this film.......he was DEEP!!!!.
Irons did an amazing job, such an underrated an underused actor in my opinion.
I would have been like "So you know how you are hunting humans and stuff, what if i go back in time and grab you a box full of chickens"
Exactly. And then, having re-established that species, re-establish some more, so that the Morlocks wouldn't be left trying to live off of what probably still would have been a severely depleted ecosystem, given the fact that there had been a mass extinction event less than a million years earlier. One which would have left the Earth with an unstable axis, lengthening recovery time.
This movie, especially this clip, makes me think so much.
Holds my mind captive for long periods.
That's not like any other clip.
Here is the quiet genius of this scene. You go into it identifying strongly with the views of the protagonist. Rightly so. On the surface, what is going on here appears to be controlled by a truly evil person.
But let me ask you this: If he is so evil, why did he admire the glowing fish instead of killing it?
Moral relativism. Good and evil have always been in the eye of the beholder. One person's genocidal maniac is another's patriotic hero. It's why humanity will eventually destroy itself, either by accident or on purpose.
This leads to my favored solution to the Fermi Paradox. The reason why we don't see intelligent life roaming around our galaxy is because for every technological advance of said civilization there is an ever increasing risk of disaster. We're basically still in our diapers as far as technological advancement goes and we've already had some damn close calls, and that was before climate destabilization started throwing matches at the powder keg known as human civilization.
"who are you to question 800,000 years of evolution"....exactly, survival of the fittest
Amy Soderstrom you certainly aren't the fittest.
Strawman! Fittest only means best in the current situation!
example of how a darwinian based society would be very unpleasant. We have become civilised now thank god.
Too late, but the end was also the survival of fittest. Alexander was a product of nature's policy too. So the humans were saved because they were fitter than morlocks
Then again, we are only civilized because we have everything we need at our finger tips. Take that away and we go back to square one.
Thats the fate of us introverts 800k years from now from lacking sunlight not going outside and developing telepathy cos we rarely open our mouths to talk to someone lol.
We already communicate by electrical signals sent around the world, just as we are doing now.
@@raksh9 yes, but other people can do that too.
Haha so true
Im aready semi morlock now
By far the best remake of all time
The ultimate moral of this story is the balance of humanity is in aggression and passivity. Apart, the remnants of humanity become nothing for eons. Together, they can reach the stars.
I love that our "hero" kills the controller knowing full well that it would leave the hunters to rampage without control, essentially dooming that section of the world.
@G Will not. more like it is love that is effecting his brain.
He was only the controller of that clan, since he annihilated that entire clan, they will not being killing anyone. The other clans still have their controllers.
Other clans will smell “food”
Always thought Jeremy Iron's played this role amazingly, even for such a short time on film
Film Fact: Jeremy Irons really has one of those brain spines, the makeup irritates it so they just left it in the movie.
Thanks man, you have my sense of humor...nothing like a good lie.
You made my day with that one😭
@@MastaSmack It’s called a joke you pessimist. They are not the same thing.
Lmao
So when Alexander kills the brain, the hunters go wild and kill all the Eloi. Nice going Alex.
Nah, he destroyed that particular hive.
Imagine if he just chilled and learned from the psyker. Imagine the possibilities!
I always find it fascinating how a great actor can convey a sense of great depth and sophistication to a movie character. In a short time Jeremy Irons really made the Uber-Morlock a memorable character in a way a lesser actor never could.
and so what does Alexander do? he kills the controller. OOPS!
Mistah Young ya know, I never realized how completely stupid of a move that was considering that he wanted to save the dumb eloi. he just doomed both species to extinction. ironically, it would have been a better movie if he realized that and instead admitted that life has to be this way now. but no, they have to make it a dumb action movie.
Monsieur Condottiero the morlocks yes the eloi they’re the one to benefit with a scientist leading them not mentioning the holographic computer
Why did Morlock allow Alexander to go back on his time machine?
@@operasinger2126 because he wasn't part of that timeline. The Morlock was corteous as expected from someone with high intellect, and let him go as he didn't belong in that time.
@@ricksaburai that would make sense. thank you.
I was not prepared for Uncle Scar to go full LEGACY OF KAIN when this movie released.
When me and my sister used to watch this together she used the call him 'the creepy legolas guy' lol!
Lol
Haha
Based noughties children.
Mr. Irons is my favorite actor in the movie :).
Jeremy Irons is the Best!
Should have had a bigger roll the best part of the movie is this scene
"Who are you to question eight hundred thousand years of evolution?"
RONNIE PICKERING!!!!
I love the discussion and implication of what said. When he utters: «How dare you to question 800.000 years of evolution?», it's as if the current natural order is the teleological conclusion of mankind. It will happen, has already happened and will always happen. Whether the protagonist accept the fate of Humanity or want to fight it, he can't avoid what we will become. Evolution is the survival of the fittest, and through selection we've sacrificed our Humanity (from a prehistoric perspective) for a existence that's not defined by environment, but the very fact that we ARE THE ENVIRONMENT aka the ones that will do the selection for ourselves. As a Force of Nature we will shed our Humanity and replace it with a natural state only recognizable as nature herself; ruthless and unforgiving. Absolutely fantastic writing and performance deliver us a brief, but far more potent narrative than any CGI-fest or tons of exposition could ever do justice.
Jon Snow meets the Night King
_(Game of Thrones 2019)_
such a shame jeremys character wasnt in it more...he looked awesome in the make up
A beautifully underrated film. One of my favorites!
Wraith from stargate atlantis anyone.
+Jason Folkes
I was thinking the exact same thing!
Too bad the Mandarin didn't bring Tony Stark with him with the Iron Man suit. They both would have been Gods.
woohohoho :D i wasnt alone
we are really rare :D
I was also thinking scar from the lion king
Thats what i first thought too.
that was jeremy irons right? The voice sounds so much like him.
+EQgamer4life Yes it was him.
yep he suits the role with his voice
In this role he lives in his caste. In real life he lives in his castle.
Yes!
So killing him mean his hordes were left to rampage the surface . Nice .
800,000 thousand years and he still speaks english as if was born in 21th century
He’s psychic, it’s explained.
Really impressive "who are you to question 800,000 years of evolution".
The Uber Morlock is ASMR for me. Is it for anyone else?
I'll just cop to it - the algorithm definitely knows me better than I'd like for it t'show me this clip, especially since I've just watched this movie for the first time in over a decade last week.
That's fascinating how he grabs the little fish and let's it go🤔
Such a powerful movie, that still rivets me to this day.
I loved this adaptation to such a great book. Jeremy Irons dominates.
Jeremy was astonishing in that role. But, hen again, he ALWAYS is..
Is anyone going to point out on how disturbing it is that his brain extends out the back of his head and down his spine and is literally exposed. Because thats what it is yall.
I don't know if that is meant to be his brain.
@@elisnovat3955 that is the brain. The human skull is determined by the size of the uterus and the capability of that uterus and birth canal to push out the baby.
That natural limitation hinders the expansion of the human brain and any latent capabilities therein.
Cloning in nutrient bags will likely eliminate that limitation.
Bastardized one of the greatest science fiction books ever
Irons took command of this movie with what little time he had in it.
The Uber met this cultured cave man with culture. As far as his speech goes, he’s a mental,
Alex could simply be experiencing a mindscape conversation.
Makes you wonder how long the Uber waited. Waited for someone, anyone to appear so that could finally, finally have an intelligent conversation. And the interesting thing?
The Uber has no self delusions. About what he is. What he does. Why he does what he does.
Severely underrated movie.
Nowhere near as good as the original - except for this scene - by far the best of the film.
