The newest trailers I am seeing on television adverts leave me a bit cold and bewildered. This upcoming movie (not ready to call it "film") appears to bear no significant relation to Wells's original novella or to the excellent George Pal film from 1960. Is the sexily attired woman I am seeing in these trailers supposed to be "Weena"? She looks more like some Amazon queen out of a 1990s flick. And special effects: lots and lots and lots of CGI in those trailers. Will they be what drives this movie? What does experience tell you? Seth Paxton, forgive me: I think this incarnation of The Time Machine is going to prove typical of the dumbed-down product the studios so cynically spew out these days. I'm not sure I even want to check out the eventual DVD, much less pay $10 to see it in a commercial theater. Ugh.
