gsnoorky-732-223572 I, too, wish that this were available on DVD. Maybe it will be put onto some budget sci-fi collection DVD, someday--why not? I'm not certain that I still have this on VHS--it's been awhile for viewing, unfortunately.This film shares a similar problem with the lesser-regarded special effects of the theatrical film "Clash of the Titans"--a work from the same era--that version of the film starred Harry Hamlin, Laurence Olivier, and other legendary Brit actors. Many people wish that some of today's digital wizardry then proved available for such lesser-supported works. Some of that magic might have made this a great TV movie, after all. (Sometimes, though, improbable modern special effects may prove tedious.) I like Rod Taylor and his movie, too. Really, though, the late '70s is an era in which time travel would have proved more likely to succeed. Thus, the "time-ship," lab, and other prop features appear to be much more "accurate" and likely to succeed at such a task. They're pretty cool! Really, I don't see a problem with John Beck as "scientist," either. He portrays a fellow who proves to be quite calm, logical, and collected. (Linking John to porn proves very insulting. He proved very highly valued in the '70s and '80s. John was one of the few guys in this biz whom, women--after an initial "shock and awe"--never forget! Really, he's etched forever, easily, as one of the most handsome guys ever to grace a screen. Apparently, that's something which John's harsh critics--mostly men--never will understand.)

domnogin A power outage kept me from seeing more than half of this on ABC (American Broadcasting Network). I remember the hero being burned, presumably as a witch though that punishment was reserved for heretics. Sure, it didn't stick to the original novel, which I have read in two different forms; so what. I kept hoping it would be shown again. Maybe someone has uploaded the video.I made the mistake of asking ABC for help in finding their eight-episode series PROBE (1988) starring Parker Stevenson (previously of THE HARDY BOYS) and Ashley Crow (currently of HEROES). They disavowed any knowledge of its existence; the show was a victim of a writers' strike. I never bothered to ask about this movie.

electric_postcard Ok, I'll admit, it didn't have oscar winning special effects. But at least this "update" to the 1960's Time Machine existed in 1978 and now the more recent remake of Time Machine. The movie script was fairly decent, and the special effects were somewhat realistic. I think if you give the 1978 remake a chance, that it comes across fairly nice on a whole. The ending was good in that at least they brought closure to the character in meeting back up with Weena in the future. This believe it or not is a very rare film. You don't see it on DVD or VHS anywhere and they don't replay it on TV or cable that I've seen at all, which is a real shame. I lucked out and taped it years ago on VHS. I always enjoy looking at it from time to time. Sure, I know the quality of the effects aren't great, but hey, it's nice to check out every now and then.

jeff747 The 1960 film is so wonderful. Why would they remake it so badly?The effects aren't perfect in the original Film, but they are a hundred times worse in the TV movie.The actors are annoying.The costumes on the Morlocks are amazingly just as bad as the worst sci-fi flicks of the 50's.Sorry if you like this movie. I just think it's awful.
