I love how reasonable the leader was keeping his time machine intact and wanting him to go back to his time period, yet the protagonist still ruthlessly murders the guy
Yes, he shouldnt have murdered that leader that commands the Morlocks to kidnap and rape innocent Elois women and eat the men for survival. You were joking right?
@@ilostmymojo6970 Actually, The opposite it true. the leader likely limited the extent Morlocks kidnaped and raped. This is because as soon as the leader was dead, the Morlocks took over human civilization and wiped them out, by murdering and raping. They murder and rape regardless of the presence of the leader. Really the leader was about "balance" and probably kept the Murlocks at bay, maintaining a yin and yang balance between Murlocks and the human civilization. so really the protagonist caused the humans to go extinct by killing the leader.
@@ilostmymojo6970 the surface dwellers did go extinct after the protagonist killed the leader. It is in the Morlocks nature to rape and murder. They literally survived underground by eating their own people. By their conversation you should see that The leader is most concerned with the protagonist helping the surface dwellers too much and interrupting the balance. The leader takes a neutral perspective and keeps a balance to both Morlock and surface dweller life. If he was left alive the balance would likely continue, and Morlock would not have taken over the world.

The movie is good. But I like the book ending better. In the book, his machine isn't destroyed. But instead, he goes back to his lab, says bye to his house keeper and takes 3 books from his study and then vanishes back to the future. And the housekeeper ends up finishing the book by telling the reader that she did not know what books were missing, just that there were only 3 gone. And she asks the reader. If you had to pick just 3 books to restart civilization, what would they be.
Yeah he told the Time Traveler if he didn’t control their minds the Morolock appetite would run wild and they eat all the Elios which is why briefly you see a future of Morlocks on the surface which as we’ve learned can not be altered so by killing the leader he killed all the Elios
It's crazy how long ago this story was written. The book differs quite a bit from the movie, but it does carry some of the same themes. When he first gets to the future, it's not as bleak as it is in the movie. The Eloi live in futuristic buildings but they don't really interact with him. They all seem happy so he thinks they've achieved some kind of communist utopia. As he gets more information, he deduces a few different possibilities. He realizes later that the Eloi are simply like cattle for the Morlocks to eat, which is why they appear so carefree and docile most of the time. And in the book, he witnesses the earth at different points in the very distant future as it is dying. He ends up making it back to tell his stories before setting off again and never returning. It's unreal that a guy wrote all that in 1895.
It’s funny that the director is the great-grandson of H.G. Wells, the author of the book it’s based on, but I feel like it falls flat once Hartdegen goes 800k years in the future. It feels really derivative of Stargate and it’s really reductive of the original novel’s themes. In the movie, the Eloi are reduced to humans who evolved living on the surface whereas the Morlocks became flesh-eating monsters just because they evolved underground. In the novel however, their relationship is more interesting. The Eloi were descendants of the upper class who got to live in an automated utopia, and since they faced no challenges in their lives, they didn’t need traits like willpower, intelligence, or strength, and basically became a childlike herbivorous humanoid species; the Morlocks were descendants of the working class who were forced to live underground for hundreds of generations, working unfathomably complex machinery in order to keep the upper class’s lives automated, and as a result they became a strong nocturnal troglodytes species that also lost most of its use for intelligence. The relationship between the two species seen in the film makes more sense in the novel; in the film the Morlocks consume the Eloi because they’re the bad guys and the two species could never communicate with each other to eat other animals because evolving in darkness = you’re stupid and evil, whereas in the novel the Morlocks treat the Eloi as livestock because they’re both essentially animals and the planet is a garden on the surface with no food underground, so at night the Morlocks hunt down the Eloi in a natural predator/prey relationship. Of course the Morlocks are antagonists in both works, but the film is missing the subtext in the novel. The Eloi becoming the human good guy tribe and the Morlocks becoming the monster bad guy animals that are so bad that genocide against them is justified is disgustingly reductive, and it’s especially egregious in this film.
Indeed, especially when the sequel novel is taken into consideration: Hartdegen's returns to his time of departure and has his tale published as a story. Having a change of heart, he travels back to the future to save a Eloi he took a liking to. But, publishing his story changed the future - the Morlock's retained their intelligence, being a race of scholars instead of de-evolving into pre-sapience. So, while he couldn't save his wife, he did save the future of the human race - the Morlock's being a worthy successor species to Homo Sapiens rather than dumb animals as they were without Hartdegen interfering.
Didn't explains one of the key points that well: The time machine only existed because of Emma's death, therefore it would create a time paradox if she survived. The existence of the time machine forces her death.
@@gokushkameha-ha-ha9344 No it's not, It's just not explained in a way that you would explain it to a child so some people don't 'get it'. If you read my previous comment you'll realise that the narrator explained it.
I was a kid extra in this movie….I hit my head on one of those trees and the time machine was really really neat to see in person. It was 50 some degrees and hailed one day. I cried ,being little ,with a sensitive scalp and drove those poor poor makeup artists crazy. I have felt shame about that since I gained the understanding of how much of a pain in the ass I was. Had to finally get that off my chest Awesome vids man. Keep it up.
@@dankhindukush603 I was a stand in for the main kid for the scene when he’s running from the monsters. I was to look scared at the camera and than run, though I think they only used the brief shot of me running away from behind through some trees.
@Friendy Frienderson Yes! It is definitely a classic. We even watched Alfred Hitchcock's _Birds_ in Black & White, and it was great, too! Films such as those are ones that are difficult to remake to the caliber of the original. . . I haven't watched this new _Time Machine_ because I just am not a fan of remakes, or "rewatching" the same story.
Well, tbh he can always take the easy way out and off himself. As a sigma male once said: "I will burn this planet down before I spend another minute living among these animals."
The cameraman is the ultimate multitasker, not only gets these amazing shots, but also manages to keep his own time machine in perfect sync with Alex's.
When I was little, my dad showed me this movie many times. The funny thing is that I don't remember the part about the "monsters" at all. I guess I was so fascinated by the idea of time travel and how he couldn't fix his past mistakes, that I completely forgot about the rest of the movie
Holy crap. Me too! I saw this as a kid and remember loving it. Just watched it again a year ago and was like wtf? I don't remember these monsters lmaooo but this film is so good
I was kid when the original move was on TV. I remembered the opposite. I kinda sorta remembered the time machine, but mostly remember the cannibals hunting man. Same with Omega Man. never remembered the plot. never remembered the whole virus thing or the kids. Just the monsters hunting the human. Second or third Planet of the Apes, the one with bomb. only really remember that part with the bomb and the "monsters" Pretty much what I always got out of these movies was the idea of the individual being the hero. The mob, the collective, the herd, the hive (whatever you want to call it) being the enemy. They are out destroy, literally, to the point of eating you just to remove you. Devolved, degenerate, and an existential threat to the individual (I was aware enough to understand these "monsters" were in fact devolved humans, not monsters of their own kind). That wasn't necessarily what those movies were about, obviously, but those were the parts I took with me, the parts I remembered and that's the impression it left on me....and I wasn't wrong.
Alex doesn't actually go into the future to study futuristic time machines, he goes into the future to have a question answered "why can't I save her". Jeremy Irons character answers it perfectly he created The Time machine to save her so if she never died he never would have created the time machine so therefore he cannot travel into the past to save her because he would never would have made his machine if she didn't die.
"Hey this is a very delicate balance I've created so that humans can survive, please go home and be with your girlfriend." *proceeds to murder him instead*
After said murder, the world goes into chaos thousands of years later because the leader wasn't there to keep the balance, and the leader might even be one of his past/future selves that he just murdered.
This movie is indirectly deeper than one thinks and says a lot about human nature and their desire to learn how things how work. Sadly it also leads to their downfall in a way.
Yeah its kinda like that famous paradox if you go back in time and kill your GrandFather before he meets your Grandmother , meaning your Father was never born so neither were you.... .. So who killed Grandfather ?
I don't think this film influenced many other films. H.G. Wells' book, upon which this film is based, has influenced lots of science fiction, but this film really hasn't had much impact on sci-fi itself.
"800K Years From Now, Humans Evolve Into Flesh-Eating Monster Due To Living Underground For Centuries." Well, I guess that's progress. Guy Pearce in: "Time After Time Machine."
Plot twist: when the time machine exploded, it ripped a hole in spacetime. This hole then traveled back in time, collided with another spacetime anomaly (the one that was used to alter the moon's orbit), resulting in the moon being ripped apart as both anomalies canceled each other out.

8:25 Hm I've never though about this but... when the Leader was out of the Time Machine, was he hanging out there for hundreds of years? in Alex's view he was aging really fast, but was it a very long death in the Leader's eyes? because that sounds like a terrible fate.
Not quite true if you think of the dynamics there's no way he could hold on for that long he would starve dehydrate or his body would fail long before time could kill him and he certainly couldn't hold on that long his body wouldn't be able to do it. If his arm was jammed hence being held in place eventually his arm would break off hence falling back down or dying from the fall
I haven't. Yet people do if they are given the circumstances. And imagine how many humans were faced with those circumstances leading up to modern civilization.
@@RBFilmsja plane crash I heard of a story people eat dead bodies to survive the crash in the middle of a snowy nowhere [I forgot what the plane was called but this was base on true story]
Hunting, killing, surviving in the wild... This was how humans lived when they first came into existence, and this is how they are all those years later...
I think the apocalypse was long gone. They had more than 800,000 years to rebuild civilisation. I'm pretty sure that's enough time for them to reinvent hairdressing.
With all the of climatic stress that the planet suffered after the moon catastrophe, (more ice-ages, severe drought, tsunamis, etc) it’s hard to believe that the elio survived on the surface but didn’t adapt to the ever changing environment. Surely humans who survived on the surface would exhibit evolutionary traits as a result of adapting to the now harsher environment. No way modern day humans would still look the same 800,000 years from now.
@@lalaland2107 early sci-fi is pretty tripy, you can find "The Last Question" read by Leonard Nimoy, one of the best tales from Isaac Asimov, totally worth it
Tell me about it. To think Someone Actually Buit A "Time Machine And Then Disappeared to Leave behind the Prototype And HG Wells Wrote About it After His Research into This Gentleman and His Experiments Into The Possibilities of "Time Travel". Amazing, truly it is.
When I saw this movie as a little kid I had nightmares of the Morlocks. Still, it's a very cool movie and after all those years I couldn't forget about it.
I always wondered, "What if Alex killing the Morlock leader was a hallucination caused by the leader? Alex would still in the Morlock cave about to be killed and feasted upon; but, he only THINKS he's won and living happily; not knowing his life will end soon."
The Leader know and was going to kill him anyway, but reading minds doesn't change fate... The leader was met to die at that time in this story... No need to wonder, the book is written. No what if lol.
We actually do have a species of mosquitoes that wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for humans. They evolved under a city and behave differently than surface ones.
Years ago, I was trying to remove the flesh from a deer carcass I'd found. I wanted just the skeleton. I put it in an old dog kennel packed in wood shavings and left it there for like three years. I actually forgot about it. But when I dug it out it was swarming with flies that had lived in the carcass the whole time. These flies had evolved into wingless insects because their whole life was in the deer carcass. They didnt need wings. I had created a new species of fly, quite by accident. (What do you call a fly with no wings? A 'walk'.)
I miss the old days , man...when we had a fkton of movies like this...and when I say "like this " I don't necessarily mean this genre , I mean movies that will pin you down and not let go of you until the end...
Movies now a days are very commercially based , trying to get as much watch time possible for benefits and actors having to play with their lives for the story and movies now a days ar dead give aways
@@Koldyuki I honestly can't think of "good movies" that gripped me by the core. Yes, some left me shocked but it was more like a temporary thing, not necessarily something where I will remember said movies for years to come. Of course I'd be lying if I said no "modern" movie (released within the last five-ish years or so) would be remembered. Erm, less complicated: Even some newer movies are good, but I feel genre-wise, what came in the 90s and 2000s was sorta legendary and still is to this day while the amount of such movies is degrading quantity wise. It just feels like less legendary well-made movies come out because a new trend in many genres seems to be overloading and not provoking your senses. Lots of explosions, maybe gore where it doesn't need to be as it's not a main thing of the genre, crazy stunts or wild plots. Wild plots aren't necessarily bad but I mean we're more and more hopping from movie to movie. The attention span seems to go down, movies become less memorable on average. TV shows or series are another thing, but as you can breath in story more through episodes and don't have to condense a lot, I guess the effects aren't felt as much there, I feel. There's even recent and modern good TV shows on an international scale so I can't really complain there. Others are plain sh!t though, like The Walking Dead World Beyond :D
@@Unknown-ek1ox I know I'm replying weeks later, but dang, I agree completely. I feel like late 90's / early 2000's studios were still willing to take risks. Nowadays, the producers / money people aren't interested unless they are almost guaranteed a return. Hence the overly generic movie formula that kind of appeals to near everyone, but doesn't even try to appeal to any kind of actual niche. TL:DR Everything has to appeal to everyone and our artistic media has suffered for it.
Twenty years ago, Hollywood still made movies for the purpose of telling a good and cohesive story, not for the sake of pushing some stupid ass woke message like they do now days. If you go back and watch something even like Robin Williams' Flubber, which was just a silly, pure hearted family comedy in its time, is now a masterpiece compared to 95% of the garbage released today. Films just do no have the level of quality and detail they used to.
I remember watching this years ago when i was little with my dad it completely blew my mind since it was the first time I'd seen anything on time travel
No. He evolves his DNA to become able to eat raw mushroom, gunpowder, bones, to survive in total darkness without vitamin D, and to not get poisoned when eating rotten flesh.
I like the small detail in the ending of this movie. It is David walking on the street, he takes off his top hat which was currently in fashion at the time of 1899- 1903 and throws it away. Symbolizing the changing of time and trends.
I’m kinda sad... I thought this would be an action movie without romance...it’s always the main lead male sacrificing his life for a woman he met 3 seconds ago 😔
Fr, man barely knew her for 2 days and decided to sacrafice himself and stay in that hellhole 💀 but i guess he wasnt happy anyways, so it didnt matter to him
@@cheeseck7205 Man just simping for the last girl he talks to, he's like a goldfish. Instantly forgot about his girl that got murdered and fell in love with the next girl he met.
Yeah I don’t get why people are calling this film a classic, they really watered down the Eloi and Morlock dynamic into off-brand Stargate. It’s all because of the domino effect from the Eloi needing to be advanced enough so that one of the women becomes a romantic interest, and then because the Eloi are perfect because they’re human, the Morlocks have to be wholly imperfect and inhuman. It totally throws away the idea that both Eloi and Morlocks are flawed animals that were produced from a tragically exacerbated class divide.
The leader is so interesting to me, how he can read minds and control basically all of humanity there, and is hella wise. Wonder how he was born into such a supreme creature/being
@@bills7932 Have you seen endgame? The timeline here is like that. You are in present, then you go to the past, killing the you in the past doesn't kill the present you. Because essentially you are just clones.
If this was real, this is my theory: Humans will migrate onto another planet and some will stay in big spaceships, humans will continue to live in peace through very advanced technology, maybe even create one that doesn't require solar power. But there are a few humans who were left behind, the Elois and Morlocks, the girl can speak English because her parents believed in restoring back what earth used to be and taught her english, for generations the language was passed down to very few families
other possibilties are. Humans can build a NEW Moon. Chances are, the Earth may very well have other species of Evolved humans besides Eloi and Morlocks. Some people may have escaped to the mountains or the sea. Now you have flying humans or Marine Humans.
I saw this in theaters as a kid and vividly remember him making the time machine, the scenes with his wife dying, and when he goes to into the future to find the moon fracturing. Even Vox 114 was a familiar face. But I must have fallen asleep, because there’s no way I could’ve imagined this movie ending with flesh eating humanoid monsters that also breed with their prey. Crazy…
The Time Traveller’s initial observations suggest a utopian society: his first encounter is with the Eloi, who are beautiful but useless, living in plenty and liberated entirely from work. The pastoral idyll in which the Eloi live resembles in several respects the utopian society depicted by the 19th-century English socialist William Morris in his utopian romance News from Nowhere (1890), where money is abolished, work is pure pleasure, and every member of society lives in plenitude. However, while at first glance the Eloi seem to inhabit a classless society, when the troglodytic Morlocks come into view - savage brutes who live underground and seem to perform the mindless drudgery necessary to keep society functioning - the Time Traveller awakens to another possibility. Has the social separation between rich and poor become so extreme that the two groups have evolved into separate species? The Eloi live in constant fear of the Morlocks, and the Time Traveller himself is disgusted by their appearance and habits. This is perhaps an enhanced, futuristic version of the hatred and fear with which the suburban lower middle classes often saw the proletariat, partly because they lived in constant fear of destitution (as C F G Masterman argued in The Condition of England (1909)). The Eloi are mere fatted cattle, which the Morlocks preserved, bred and preyed upon. The dystopian future that Wells imagines is not capitalism itself, but a monstrous inversion of capitalism - a socialism gone wrong, where the cannibalistic proletariat prey on the effete aristocracy. The novel’s depiction of class ends up, then, not as a utopian exploration of future possibilities for the abolition of class in the terms that Fourier and Morris had imagined it. Instead, it is an example of ‘anti-utopian realism’, suggesting that the bitter class conflicts of the Victorian age were bound to deepen and even to take on a biological character as humanity is divided into two species. Worse still - especially given Wells’s own political commitments - the various progressive attempts to overcome class antagonism, advocated by Marx, Fourier and Morris, have failed or been perverted. This profoundly pessimistic vision of the future, then, expresses not only Wells’s horror at the realities of 19th-century class relations, but also his fears about what utopian socialism and communism were offering in their place.
@Darren Rice I assume you are referring to my description of the Morlock’s labour as “mindless drudgery” and I agree, the production processes you mention do involve far more than mere button pressing. Such processes involve technical knowledge, specific skills and a certain amount of heavy manual labour. Granted, “mindless” is inappropriate but, in my opinion, with all due respect to those involved in those industries, much of this work could reasonably be considered as drudgery, ie, dull, irksome, and fatiguing and is certainly outside the purview of the hedonistic Eloi.
This makes more sense after watching the Dr Strange What If episode: Emma's death is a nexus event. She has to die in order for him to be motivated to invent the time machine. This nexus event is also the way to prevent a time paradox.
@@yosojinuchiha9549 It is called Tge Time Machine. I have the book where it is two stories in one. The Time Machine and The Invisible Man years ago from Barnes & Nobles
The movie is based on the book by H.G. Wells yet is abridged by a lot. The book is set in a more futuristic environment and has a thought-provoking story line. The movie, however, is very different from the beginning. In the book, the Time Traveller didn't travel through time to find his lover who was never even mentioned. He also travelled directly to the 802701 to see the people's engineering evolution. Also, the Elois were 4 foot tall purple-clad creatures who lived in the ruins of buildings while the Morlocks lived underground and couldn't handle sunlight. There are also so many characters that weren't mentioned and MULTIPLE that were added, along with MOST of the scenes that never existed in the book. Even the ending is faltered. There is soo much the movie had changed that I cannot fully describe (also cuz of spoilers if any of you would read the book). The book talks about deep topics and how evolution is affected by the present with a lot of detail. It has great description of the environment that fuels anyone's imagination. Overall, it is one of the best sci-fi books ever, and the best book I'd ever recommend! [I just read the comments to find that another person wrote about the differences between the book and the movie, except it contains more spoilers from the book, so pls check out that comment by *johnclark926* if you want a full view of the book!]
i mean honestly speaking the theory of relativity has little to do with time travel (at least portrayed here since such a thing doesn't exist in reality) theory of relativity is what the name suggests a theory on relativity of objects specifically their motion and physical attributes like it's mass and correlation to the plane it's moving in that being space and time. theory of relativity actually only has one part about time "travel" which is called as time dilation. basically it just means when objects travel faster the motion causes a relativistic time delay thus creating a dialation from the reference point of a stationary or relatively slow moving observer. that's just it. the traveller wouldn't be time traveling per say but moving at the same pace of time except for their reference frame would be faster adjusted to the dialation to the observer from fixed point. but even then Einstein was pretty much a very solid guy when it came to bending the universe and suggested his ideas being around suggesting a solid universe instead of time being a traversible physical dimension on both ways. even the time dialation happens only when you move forward in space and no matter how fast you move backwards you still can't have negative motion or move through time in the opposite direction thus no time travel
In the original movie the time machine was still intact so he goes back into the past and gets 3 books from his lab and then returns to the future to help rebuild civilization...
I remember when I was younger I fell asleep and woke up with the TV on playing this movie. I was so fascinated but never knew what it was called. Thanks!!!
Who is here after watching Marvel WHAT IF ep 4?That episode was kinda like an exact replica of this story.You cannot erase an "absolute point" whatever way you do.
I'm actually more saddened by the episode where everyone is a zombie. But dr stranged dying in a pinpoint void in a collapsed universe is still more tragic. I was sadder at spidey cuz he had lost EVERYONE by the end of the what if. Also u ain't beating zombie thanos.
Sadly this reboot is plagued with early 2000s CG effects, back when they really abused CG, though Orlando Jones was amazing as the hologram of the Librarian.
Before I watched this movie a year ago, I first watched the 1961 time machine. Both are great time travel movies. But I think this one is really underrated.
@@greatbunbino6546 This video summary said that. The location of Vox 114 was the remains of the New York Public Library which was "Where the ghosts are".

Vox also told Alexander, "Just follow the breathing" which would lead him to the Morlocks.

@Wazowski are you suggesting present day human forces given the opportunity are any better buddy? apart from the cannibal part (which is not non existent as there are plenty of still surviving cannibal tribes and stories of survivor cannibalism) humans have massive amounts of rapist killers among us too. so let's just genocide all? also there are quite a few species in nature who already are rapists or cannibals too from penguins to polar bears. it's just nature, natural selection, rules of evolution and enough time man. these humans had to live in underground cave systems. eventually the food scarcity should have led them to become more of apex predators and actively hunt. and they are no longer homo sapiens.; they have evolved and now just sharing a common ancestory with us. btw haven't you ever known what happened to homo Neanderthals whom we Sapiens might have actually just bred out of existnece presenting a very real outcome as in the Morlocks ruling over the other human species? it's just nature bud. there is no good and evil. sure in present context rapist cannibals are not exactly a welcoming future for humanity but at the same time look at how society collapsed and literally took the fucking moon with them in the movie. classic humans.
@Wazowski They're also under constant influence by telepathic elite Morlocks, which likely shows their ways were by design and not nature. Wiping them out seemed like a harsh fate

Really the leader was about "balance" and probably kept the Murlocks at bay, maintaining a yin and yang balance between Murlocks and the human civilization. so really the protagonist caused the humans to go extinct by killing the leader.
@@BBalloon but they didnt go extinct, and the leader had the power to stop murder and rape altogether, but still allowed it...

The leader takes a neutral perspective and keeps a balance to both Morlock and surface dweller life. If he was left alive the balance would likely continue, and Morlock would not have taken over the world.

Yeah he told the Time Traveler if he didn’t control their minds the Morolock appetite would run wild and they eat all the Elios which is why briefly you see a future of Morlocks on the surface which as we’ve learned can not be altered so by killing the leader he killed all the Elios
And then their character decides to murder him. Lmao.
Thanos
Yet this was so that the murlocks would thrive over humans
@@jmtexx yeah but still
It's crazy how long ago this story was written. The book differs quite a bit from the movie, but it does carry some of the same themes. When he first gets to the future, it's not as bleak as it is in the movie. The Eloi live in futuristic buildings but they don't really interact with him. They all seem happy so he thinks they've achieved some kind of communist utopia. As he gets more information, he deduces a few different possibilities. He realizes later that the Eloi are simply like cattle for the Morlocks to eat, which is why they appear so carefree and docile most of the time. And in the book, he witnesses the earth at different points in the very distant future as it is dying. He ends up making it back to tell his stories before setting off again and never returning.
It's unreal that a guy wrote all that in 1895.
The book sounds incredible. Might just order it
800,000, years in the future is a bit too much tho, I wished he scaled it back a little
1895?! That just before Red Dead Redemption 2 took place
Is the AI in the book as well?
@@godwavenexus No, not really.
It’s funny that the director is the great-grandson of H.G. Wells, the author of the book it’s based on, but I feel like it falls flat once Hartdegen goes 800k years in the future. It feels really derivative of Stargate and it’s really reductive of the original novel’s themes.
In the movie, the Eloi are reduced to humans who evolved living on the surface whereas the Morlocks became flesh-eating monsters just because they evolved underground. In the novel however, their relationship is more interesting. The Eloi were descendants of the upper class who got to live in an automated utopia, and since they faced no challenges in their lives, they didn’t need traits like willpower, intelligence, or strength, and basically became a childlike herbivorous humanoid species; the Morlocks were descendants of the working class who were forced to live underground for hundreds of generations, working unfathomably complex machinery in order to keep the upper class’s lives automated, and as a result they became a strong nocturnal troglodytes species that also lost most of its use for intelligence.
The relationship between the two species seen in the film makes more sense in the novel; in the film the Morlocks consume the Eloi because they’re the bad guys and the two species could never communicate with each other to eat other animals because evolving in darkness = you’re stupid and evil, whereas in the novel the Morlocks treat the Eloi as livestock because they’re both essentially animals and the planet is a garden on the surface with no food underground, so at night the Morlocks hunt down the Eloi in a natural predator/prey relationship.
Of course the Morlocks are antagonists in both works, but the film is missing the subtext in the novel. The Eloi becoming the human good guy tribe and the Morlocks becoming the monster bad guy animals that are so bad that genocide against them is justified is disgustingly reductive, and it’s especially egregious in this film.

Indeed, especially when the sequel novel is taken into consideration:
Hartdegen's returns to his time of departure and has his tale published as a story. Having a change of heart, he travels back to the future to save a Eloi he took a liking to.
But, publishing his story changed the future - the Morlock's retained their intelligence, being a race of scholars instead of de-evolving into pre-sapience.
So, while he couldn't save his wife, he did save the future of the human race - the Morlock's being a worthy successor species to Homo Sapiens rather than dumb animals as they were without Hartdegen interfering.

Same with Omega Man. never remembered the plot. never remembered the whole virus thing or the kids. Just the monsters hunting the human.
Second or third Planet of the Apes, the one with bomb. only really remember that part with the bomb and the "monsters"
Pretty much what I always got out of these movies was the idea of the individual being the hero. The mob, the collective, the herd, the hive (whatever you want to call it) being the enemy. They are out destroy, literally, to the point of eating you just to remove you. Devolved, degenerate, and an existential threat to the individual (I was aware enough to understand these "monsters" were in fact devolved humans, not monsters of their own kind).
That wasn't necessarily what those movies were about, obviously, but those were the parts I took with me, the parts I remembered and that's the impression it left on me....and I wasn't wrong.
No I think that shows how poorly the antagonist was developed
Alex doesn't actually go into the future to study futuristic time machines, he goes into the future to have a question answered "why can't I save her". Jeremy Irons character answers it perfectly he created The Time machine to save her so if she never died he never would have created the time machine so therefore he cannot travel into the past to save her because he would never would have made his machine if she didn't die.

With all the of climatic stress that the planet suffered after the moon catastrophe, (more ice-ages, severe drought, tsunamis, etc) it’s hard to believe that the elio survived on the surface but didn’t adapt to the ever changing environment.
Surely humans who survived on the surface would exhibit evolutionary traits as a result of adapting to the now harsher environment.
No way modern day humans would still look the same 800,000 years from now.

Of course I'd be lying if I said no "modern" movie (released within the last five-ish years or so) would be remembered. Erm, less complicated: Even some newer movies are good, but I feel genre-wise, what came in the 90s and 2000s was sorta legendary and still is to this day while the amount of such movies is degrading quantity wise.
It just feels like less legendary well-made movies come out because a new trend in many genres seems to be overloading and not provoking your senses. Lots of explosions, maybe gore where it doesn't need to be as it's not a main thing of the genre, crazy stunts or wild plots. Wild plots aren't necessarily bad but I mean we're more and more hopping from movie to movie. The attention span seems to go down, movies become less memorable on average.
TV shows or series are another thing, but as you can breath in story more through episodes and don't have to condense a lot, I guess the effects aren't felt as much there, I feel. There's even recent and modern good TV shows on an international scale so I can't really complain there. Others are plain sh!t though, like The Walking Dead World Beyond :D
@@Unknown-ek1ox I know I'm replying weeks later, but dang, I agree completely. I feel like late 90's / early 2000's studios were still willing to take risks.

Hence the overly generic movie formula that kind of appeals to near everyone, but doesn't even try to appeal to any kind of actual niche.
TL:DR Everything has to appeal to everyone and our artistic media has suffered for it.
Twenty years ago, Hollywood still made movies for the purpose of telling a good and cohesive story, not for the sake of pushing some stupid ass woke message like they do now days.

It’s all because of the domino effect from the Eloi needing to be advanced enough so that one of the women becomes a romantic interest, and then because the Eloi are perfect because they’re human, the Morlocks have to be wholly imperfect and inhuman.

The Time Traveller’s initial observations suggest a utopian society: his first encounter is with the Eloi, who are beautiful but useless, living in plenty and liberated entirely from work. The pastoral idyll in which the Eloi live resembles in several respects the utopian society depicted by the 19th-century English socialist William Morris in his utopian romance News from Nowhere (1890), where money is abolished, work is pure pleasure, and every member of society lives in plenitude.
However, while at first glance the Eloi seem to inhabit a classless society, when the troglodytic Morlocks come into view - savage brutes who live underground and seem to perform the mindless drudgery necessary to keep society functioning - the Time Traveller awakens to another possibility. Has the social separation between rich and poor become so extreme that the two groups have evolved into separate species?
The Eloi live in constant fear of the Morlocks, and the Time Traveller himself is disgusted by their appearance and habits. This is perhaps an enhanced, futuristic version of the hatred and fear with which the suburban lower middle classes often saw the proletariat, partly because they lived in constant fear of destitution (as C F G Masterman argued in The Condition of England (1909)).
The Eloi are mere fatted cattle, which the Morlocks preserved, bred and preyed upon. The dystopian future that Wells imagines is not capitalism itself, but a monstrous inversion of capitalism - a socialism gone wrong, where the cannibalistic proletariat prey on the effete aristocracy. The novel’s depiction of class ends up, then, not as a utopian exploration of future possibilities for the abolition of class in the terms that Fourier and Morris had imagined it. Instead, it is an example of ‘anti-utopian realism’, suggesting that the bitter class conflicts of the Victorian age were bound to deepen and even to take on a biological character as humanity is divided into two species. Worse still - especially given Wells’s own political commitments - the various progressive attempts to overcome class antagonism, advocated by Marx, Fourier and Morris, have failed or been perverted. This profoundly pessimistic vision of the future, then, expresses not only Wells’s horror at the realities of 19th-century class relations, but also his fears about what utopian socialism and communism were offering in their place.
Beautifully written
Beautiful written mate.
Elois are the communist government, Morlocks are the workers realizing the truth

@Darren Rice I assume you are referring to my description of the Morlock’s labour as “mindless drudgery” and I agree, the production processes you mention do involve far more than mere button pressing. Such processes involve technical knowledge, specific skills and a certain amount of heavy manual labour. Granted, “mindless” is inappropriate but, in my opinion, with all due respect to those involved in those industries, much of this work could reasonably be considered as drudgery, ie, dull, irksome, and fatiguing and is certainly outside the purview of the hedonistic Eloi.
The future: a whole species that looks like Iggy Pop
This literally unlocked a lost memory I had of this movie
True man very true
HG Wells was a genius. Although it can be confusing, time travel is a classic way to tell stories and I love it and this one is a classic.
this movie mesmerized me back in the day, and i always wished time-travel was possible
except for sadly it isn't
@observe out of the box what isn’t
@@nautikient2151 time travel is not possible
i dont, one man with time travel can absolutely demolish history. A power to great for one, a few men, or even an organization to hold.
@@LAGMASTER-cs4ci yet how are we to know if it has/will happen yet?
This makes more sense after watching the Dr Strange What If episode:
Emma's death is a nexus event. She has to die in order for him to be motivated to invent the time machine. This nexus event is also the way to prevent a time paradox.
I remember watching this movie! So cool to see it being recapped years later. Haha
This show took "humanity is evolving just backwards" to next level
It’s actually the eloi and the morlocks written by h.g wells
Love love the original!
@@sarahleroy465 same
I remember reading this book, it was so good. What was it called again?
@@yosojinuchiha9549 It is called Tge Time Machine. I have the book where it is two stories in one. The Time Machine and The Invisible Man years ago from Barnes & Nobles
@@ShanyShannon doesn’t he die in the original one? Or at least never come back after going into the past a second time?
The movie is based on the book by H.G. Wells yet is abridged by a lot.
The book is set in a more futuristic environment and has a thought-provoking story line. The movie, however, is very different from the beginning.
In the book, the Time Traveller didn't travel through time to find his lover who was never even mentioned. He also travelled directly to the 802701 to see the people's engineering evolution. Also, the Elois were 4 foot tall purple-clad creatures who lived in the ruins of buildings while the Morlocks lived underground and couldn't handle sunlight.
There are also so many characters that weren't mentioned and MULTIPLE that were added, along with MOST of the scenes that never existed in the book. Even the ending is faltered.
There is soo much the movie had changed that I cannot fully describe (also cuz of spoilers if any of you would read the book).
The book talks about deep topics and how evolution is affected by the present with a lot of detail. It has great description of the environment that fuels anyone's imagination.
Overall, it is one of the best sci-fi books ever, and the best book I'd ever recommend!
[I just read the comments to find that another person wrote about the differences between the book and the movie, except it contains more spoilers from the book, so pls check out that comment by *johnclark926* if you want a full view of the book!]
Ill try to find the book, thanks!
I like how he made a time machine without the understanding the theory of relativity possibly created his own?
i mean honestly speaking the theory of relativity has little to do with time travel (at least portrayed here since such a thing doesn't exist in reality) theory of relativity is what the name suggests a theory on relativity of objects specifically their motion and physical attributes like it's mass and correlation to the plane it's moving in that being space and time. theory of relativity actually only has one part about time "travel" which is called as time dilation. basically it just means when objects travel faster the motion causes a relativistic time delay thus creating a dialation from the reference point of a stationary or relatively slow moving observer. that's just it. the traveller wouldn't be time traveling per say but moving at the same pace of time except for their reference frame would be faster adjusted to the dialation to the observer from fixed point. but even then Einstein was pretty much a very solid guy when it came to bending the universe and suggested his ideas being around suggesting a solid universe instead of time being a traversible physical dimension on both ways. even the time dialation happens only when you move forward in space and no matter how fast you move backwards you still can't have negative motion or move through time in the opposite direction thus no time travel
*i reject your theory in regards of relativity as you understand it and replace it with one of my own creation....neener, neener, neener*
@@scottmantooth8785 lol the "theory" of creation is one of the funniest cavemen fuckaround stories that stuck with humans past all these years man
Well realistically a time machine would never exist so...
@@observeoutofthebox7806 I'm sorry but theres so much wrong with this that it hurts.
My favorite time travelling movie of all time , I still feel bad that the lead could not go back to his past .
Movie title po please🙏
The Time Machine, remake of the 1960 film of same name based on H.G. Wells novel
In the original movie the time machine was still intact so he goes back into the past and gets 3 books from his lab and then returns to the future to help rebuild civilization...
@@tropicvibe And the question at that time (and in the movie) , what 3 books would be taken, by the actor and by the audience.
The most impressive thing is that the machine never failed lol
The most impressive thing is that no matter how far into the future he traveled he couldn't find anyone else with a time machine 😂
I remember when I was younger I fell asleep and woke up with the TV on playing this movie. I was so fascinated but never knew what it was called. Thanks!!!
Who is here after watching Marvel WHAT IF ep 4?That episode was kinda like an exact replica of this story.You cannot erase an "absolute point" whatever way you do.
multiverse of sadness.....
Yes
True
I'm actually more saddened by the episode where everyone is a zombie. But dr stranged dying in a pinpoint void in a collapsed universe is still more tragic.
I was sadder at spidey cuz he had lost EVERYONE by the end of the what if.
Also u ain't beating zombie thanos.
I loved the episode
The Dr Strange “What if” felt like they used some of the Time Machine ideas in that episode. Not a bad thing , I picked up on quick!
Sadly this reboot is plagued with early 2000s CG effects, back when they really abused CG, though Orlando Jones was amazing as the hologram of the Librarian.
And Orlando Jones is a vegan.🤗🌱🌈✝️🌟🐑❤🔥🕊🙏🏽

Before I watched this movie a year ago, I first watched the 1961 time machine. Both are great time travel movies.
But I think this one is really underrated.
This was the first "illustrated classics" book i ever read.
Amazing story
I honestly don’t know why Vox didn’t tell them what to build to defend themselves.
Umm cuz elois dont know english?
Doesn’t the girl know how to speak English and can translate?
@@pz-sc6201 well let's just say the movie was a script :>
Vox was in those Mutants headquarters I thought? So obviously they wouldn't go in there
@@greatbunbino6546 This video summary said that. The location of Vox 114 was the remains of the New York Public Library which was "Where the ghosts are". Vox 114 directed Alexander and Kalen to the Morlock world which was in a different location in the east, as Vox 114 had told Alexander. Vox also told Alexander, "Just follow the breathing" which would lead him to the Morlocks.
OH MY GOD, I HAVE TRIED FOR SO MANY YEARS, PROBABLY WHEN I WAS LIKE 4, TO TRY AND REMEMBER WHAT THIS MOVIE WAS, AND WHEN I SAW MARA SINK INTO THE GROUND I STRAIGHT AWAY KNEW THAT THIS WAS THE MOVIE. THAT SCENE HAS TERRIFIED ME FOR SO LONG AND IT MADE ME TOO SCARED TO STEP INTO A TINY PIT IN THE GROUND.
“This was a good reboot!” But I prefer the 1960’s version that had the Mr Ed Star as his friend. That was also a good movie.
Dude I remember watching this movie when I was little and thought it was a dream, all I remembered was the splitting moon
Same I remember watching it 14 years ago with my dad and I thought it was a dream lol
The moon part is what gets me, feels like I’ve seen it before. (Origin Spirits Of The Past)
This was one of the movies I used to watch at night around 9:00 pm alone.
Different timeline: -
Alex : "I am the Mandarin!!!"
Have you seen this?

Or memento
H.G.Wells was one of the best SF writers. I read all his books.
0:38 I recognized those houses immediately and realized that it was filmed in Albany, NY! The streets in that part of the city literally look exactly like that even without props. Truly a step back into the 1800s if you walk around here. I lived only two blocks away from this exact scene not too long ago...love finding out things like this
Look up 125 Lancaster Street, Albany NY
This was the age when people actually wrote new ideas. Now directors just wanna make reboots of everything it’s actually sad.
this isnt original tho, its based on a book and there was already a movie about it in the 60s I think.
this was definitely made in the 60s because i own it Lol, not original and a reboot
Dude the book was written in the 1800’s and they made a movie in the 60’s. This is the most reboot thing you’ll ever get
lol
I guess he is talking about the book. Not a movie.
I mean the Morloc leader was 100% right with everything he said, Alex had no right to question or change things.
It's possible that him travelling through time could have caused the destruction of earth. The Morlock leader may have realized that.
or the leader guy simply wanted things to stay the way they were and lied
@@ShaggyTheClown17 It is very dangerous to changes the past. Change the right events and you can destroy an entire planet or maybe even more.
Remember my dear friend🙂: no matter who you were, whoever made you down, just remember you're unique, beautiful, and talented how dare someone rule or dictate over you? You're the Master/Ruler of your own life🌺 & happiness☺️. You matter! Get up⬆️, go forward➡️, and start doing what you like.

it might sound cringe or edgy but the truth is, it's all true
I believe in you, love from a small RUclipsr💛
I know the Morlocks were scary, but it never sat well with me that they got genocided at the end of the movie for a quick resolution
hollywood for ya... just a quick genocide of the "Bad guys" is always justified
@James Nguyen yup pretty much describes modern America and most colonizing nations
Genocide is always the answer.
@Wazowski are you suggesting present day human forces given the opportunity are any better buddy? apart from the cannibal part (which is not non existent as there are plenty of still surviving cannibal tribes and stories of survivor cannibalism) humans have massive amounts of rapist killers among us too. so let's just genocide all? also there are quite a few species in nature who already are rapists or cannibals too from penguins to polar bears. it's just nature, natural selection, rules of evolution and enough time man. these humans had to live in underground cave systems. eventually the food scarcity should have led them to become more of apex predators and actively hunt. and they are no longer homo sapiens.; they have evolved and now just sharing a common ancestory with us. btw haven't you ever known what happened to homo Neanderthals whom we Sapiens might have actually just bred out of existnece presenting a very real outcome as in the Morlocks ruling over the other human species? it's just nature bud. there is no good and evil. sure in present context rapist cannibals are not exactly a welcoming future for humanity but at the same time look at how society collapsed and literally took the fucking moon with them in the movie. classic humans.
@Wazowski They're also under constant influence by telepathic elite Morlocks, which likely shows their ways were by design and not nature. Wiping them out seemed like a harsh fate
V/O: "As it turns out, the machine Alex is using is a time machine..."
Me: No Way!!!
Other than this, there's an old TIME MACHINE movie. You all need to watch it.
The moral for this story, You Can’t Change the Past but you can Change the Future.
I still like the 60's version more and H.G. Wells book even more.
Thank you!
i remember this movie when i was little
I like the way these videos are narrated and made, it seems like you are telling a story of an actual event that has happened
You left probably the most important detail: futuristic Alex is the underground monster leader 🤧
Omg i saw the old version of this when i was little but never got to finish it! Thank you!!!
I watched the old version many times and I loved it. I was so excited for this new version. It didn't disappoint. And I loved Samantha Mumba in this movie.
They should make a Time Machine 2. Just to see what happens afterwards.
True
We already know what happens afterwards. The one guy responsible for keeping the Morlocks at bay was killed by the protagonist. So they go on a rampage and murder all the remaining humans. Thats what he saw in the future.
They should call it TIME MACHINE 2222
LOL
but we already know what's going to happen
I watched it at age 13. This is the first movie that makes me think really hard about any possibility that came from my actions in the future.
Alex returns from the future to the very same night, giving Emma a heart attack when she sees there are now two Alex's...
