Critics consensus

“Its campy flourishes tend to subdue its dramatic stakes, but The Time Machine brings H.G. Wells' story to life with plenty of sci-fi charm and a colorful sense of visual design.”

RTChicago ReaderJun 5, 2007

Parts of it are colorful and imaginative, but the film flattens out toward the end.

G

Geoff Andrew

RTTime OutFeb 9, 2006

The quaint time machine and Oscar-winning special effects hold one's interest initially, but the overall effect is one of glossy emptiness.

B

Bosley Crowther

RTNew York TimesMay 9, 2005

The drama, for all its invention, is creaky and a bit pass.

E

RTfilm-authority.comDec 14, 2025

‘…better than the CGI remake, The Time Machine is a charming movie with a serious point, adored by intricate, imaginative handmade special effects that still impress today….the sci-fi trappings disguise a fierce and precise anti-war message...'
