Undoubtedly, this film is a wonderfully crafted sci-fi for its age. The care that has gone into the sets, acting and script is illustrated in a colourful and well-detailed way during the film. Throughout, it's visual effects are effective, and the thoroughness that has been implemented into both costume design and sets in this modernised age becomes appreciative. Thus, the story is finely written and provides a viewing which is comfortable and easy to follow for all viewers. I found this film very enjoyable to watch and recommend this to anyone who is both into sci-fi and classic films.

Loved this movie when I first saw it as a kid in the 60's and The Morlocks scared the crap out of me now I just laugh how stupid they look and act. A classic though...

I have no idea why I haven't written anything yet about this wonderful film, which is an essential part of my New Year's Eve celebrations. Probably because there's not much to say, because it's absolutely brilliant. It has that unmistakable charm of an H.G. Wells story, perfectly realized by George Pal (and far superior to the remake). As the icing on the cake, the charming Rod Taylor gives a superb performance.

Close to the original story, which, as with all adaptations, I recommend that you read. My rating derives from the casting of the 'Time-Traveller',. Rod Taylor just doesn't have the gravitas to carry it off.
