  The Time Machine (2002)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
Even the "talking rings" in the original are sort of brought back, though this time in the form of a holographic New York City public library computer (Orlando Jones), whom Alex first encounters in 2030 and again later in the film, set nearly 800,000 years later.
Pearce, as I said, is well-cast as the time traveler, who builds the machine first out of his desire to right a tragedy in his past, then ends up traveling into the future.
I was also expecting him to attempt to use the time machine to travel back to the past and take control in a time when there were more resources, but that idea (again, much to my surprise and delight) never even comes up.

I was trying to put a surface map onto the time machine dish and as it turns out since all the points meet at that section of the object, it could not be done.
Next I added the 'time engine' which on the original machine was bolted onto a flat piece of 'metal' and then onto the wooden base.
The original time machine had several colored wires that ran from the area where the dish connects to the machine down to the 'time engine'.

For Badelt and The Time Machine, the best cues during which to hear these fabulous tributes to other contemporary composers are represented by tracks 4 - 6 on the album.
It is that last point that causes The Time Machine, as a score and album, to present itself in a cohesively enjoyable whole.

 Chapter 1. Wells, H.G. 1898. The Time Machine
The thing the Time Traveller held in his hand was a glittering metallic framework, scarcely larger than a small clock, and very delicately made.
One of the candles on the mantel was blown out, and the little machine suddenly swung round, became indistinct, was seen as a ghost for a second perhaps, as an eddy of faintly glittering brass and ivory; and it was gone—vanished!
If it is travelling through time fifty times or a hundred times faster than we are, if it gets through a minute while we get through a second, the impression it creates will of course be only one-fiftieth or one-hundredth of what it would make if it were not travelling in time.

Wells's imaginative tale of time travel was published in 1895 and the movie is set in approximately the same period with Rod Taylor as a scientist whose magnificent time machine allows him to leap backward and forward in the annals of history.
The 1960 film version of "The Time Machine", was always one of my absolute favourites growing up and rewatching it now as an adult I appreciate now even more the great effort put in by the legendary George Pal and his talented cast and technical crew in bringing this story vividly to life.
The time machine itself is a wonderful piece of movie making design and in the decades since the film's release has really taken on a whole life of its own as probably one of the most famous movie props ever created.

 The Time Machine Summary & Essays - H. G. Wells
The Time Machine was first published in 1894 as a serial under the name The Time Traveller in the National Observer.
By making the central character of his story a time traveler who can transport himself back and forth in time with the aid of a machine he invented, Wells is able to explore many of the themes that obsessed him, including class inequality, evolution, and the relationship between science and society.
In describing the future world of the effete Eloi and the cannibalistic Morlocks and the world beyond that in which all semblance of human life has been erased, Wells illustrates what he believes may very well be the fate of humanity.

 Amazon.com: The Time Machine: Books: H. G. Wells   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
The Time Traveler's tale of the future is a disturbing vision of the human situation as it appeared to Wells in the late 19th century.
The time traveler opines that the loss of conflict and change that came in the wake of society's elimination of health, political, and social issues served to stagnate mankind.
Wells wrote The Time Machine (1895) rather furiously; it seems the author was short of money and exploited his idea of future time travel, summing it up in a tightly constructed, very short novel.

But then his time machine is stolen by the Morlocks, and he discovers that the Eloi's idyllic existance isn't all that it seems to be.....

 The DVD Journal: The Time Machine (1960)
The Time Machine, the debut novel of a young, ideological Herbert George Wells, reflects its author's bleakly dystopian, anti-capitalist worldview in a Darwinian cautionary parable.
In the book, the unnamed Time Traveler tells of his voyage to the year 802,701, a time in which humanity has degenerated into two species sculpted not by God but by nature's indifferent efficiency.
The Time Machine's stop-motion and time-lapse trickery won 1961's Academy Award for Best Special Effects, and while they may look a tad dated today, they still display an economy and purpose that exceed even some of today's bloated and less mindful CGI extravaganzas (The Phantom Menace, anyone?).
