The Time Machine - 4

Mostly an action flick with minimal questions and discussion of the practicality and philosophy of time travel. Back to the Future does a much better job of that for film. While H.G. Wells probably dealt well with it in the novel, this film doesn't seem to do justice to the issues of time travel and human development in societies. The film portrays a rather bleak view of the future, while maybe somewhat realistic about the human condition. At the very least, there is some interesting discussion of the meaning of time and the ethics of time travel.
