Time Machine (2003-)

Movie Review

The "romance" label doesn't automatically spring to mind when talking about H.G. Wells' classic science fiction novel, "The Time Machine." However in the 2002 big-screen adaptation, the powers that be decided the audience needed to know the reason behind inventor Alexander Hartdegen's (Guy Pearce) fixation with time travel (the Hartdegen name is also unique to this adaptation). This version supplies us with that reason in the form of Alexander's ladylove, Emma (played by Sienna Guillory).
