I've never seen the other versions of time machine or read the book. But this remake is quite entertaining but hollow. You just don't feel emotionally connected to any of the characters or there plight. And because of the way its constructed it's impact is kind of dependent on it. That being said this story of a scientist who builds a machine to try and go back in time to prevent the death of his love is a little formulaic and by the numbers. As you would guess it's something he really can't do and accidentally ends up travelling far into the future where cannibalistic humanoids hunt the remaining population. One of the tribe is played by pop singer Samantha Mumba. As it stands it's a fun film but not very memorable. That being said there are far worse ways to spend 90 minutes.
