This is not a remake and it is not a sequel. It is more a play on the ideas of Wells and of the 1960 film. The movie seems a little slight and rushed, but it is not at all bad as a short science fiction story. With a little too much digital effects it will become dated, but it is still worth the trip for science fiction fans. In the late 19th Century and American scientist invents a time machine in an attempt to modify the past. In spite of his being able to get to the past, he cannot alter anything of substance. Instead he explores the future and finds that it has undergone the same split of humanity that Wells predicted, Eloi and Morlocks. (The time traveler is apparently not familiar with The Time Machine, but a sort of digital librarian he meets is.) This is not a great SF film, but it was a lot better than I was expecting.
