guy pearce look like and act like a calvin klein underwear model and or one of those bimbo guy who wear levi jean and stand in front of a herd of stampede buffalo because they realize that buffalo like levi too . in every scene and guy pearce look like he be say and look at me and i be so pretty . a a hero and his character be a total wimp . in every scene that call for courage and pearce get the short end of the stick . spoiler represent yet and at the end of the movie and this wimpy book worm character out run a pack of baboon like morlocks who can run and leap along the side of the wall ( like spiderman ) . around the same time and the time machine seem to cause a nuclear explosion of some kind that wipe out an entire valley . strangely and even though pearce and his gal pal mumba be about a foot away from the last morlock that get kill while second later pearce and mumba and and the tribe be watch the valley blow up from the safety of their mountain . now that be fast run . jeremy iron a the king of the morlocks be great . he really make the movie a lot good than it be . mumba and the model turn actress be not very cute and and she do not do much act in this movie . the scene which take place in the 1900s lack any real atmosphere . even though the period dress and vehicle be show and the character act like caricature of how they imagine 1900s people would walk and talk . the original version of this movie be a lot well in this respect . the period character be much more realistic and and they be much good actor . the original version of this movie make the past seem like the real base of the character . this new version lack substance and feeling . the scene in which pearce deal with the death of emma and then fail to save her from her fate be very good . the issue of the morlocks be cannibal be not very well explain and and it do not make sense that they have some large dark butcher shop fill with knife and cutlery and yet they be never see use any weapon except for a blow dart . also silly be the giant pit full of water and bone . all through the underground and the morlocks be all walk around chew on meaty bone . so how can all those skeleton be in the pit . it seem like there be some morlocks that bar b que their human and eat them off the grill and and other morlocks only like fillet flesh . and where be the restroom for all of these creature . a i be watch the dozen of morlocks who be gorge themselves on human flesh and it occur to me that they must have a very advanced toilet and plumbing system and consider that they be toss in lot of bone . all these issue be never address . at the end of the movie and pearce be hold mumba hand and but you can see that he be eye ball her friend and mandingo . one other totally irritating thing about this movie be the non stop lion king music which be in the background . once pearce arrives in the future ( 802 and 710 a. d. ) while the lion king music never stop and and every time the native be around and there be that african moaning singer ( be it peter gabriel or paul simon . ) that start wail and moan over the lion king jungle music . i watch the credit at the end of the movie and and the jungle music be not specifically identify and but i think that elton john should probably look into this matter . time machine be a mediocre movie with some good fx . see it once and then forget it .
