Customer Ratings & Reviews

Campy SFX by today's standard, but you have to enjoy it for what it is & when it was made!

A timeless classic. I love this movie. Can't watch it enough.

Great science fiction classic. A must see movie!!!

Well I am here to tell you something that fans of this film are not going to like but just as I give you good news on Image quality I must also have the grim task of telling you of the bad. Firstly I love this film it has always been in my top 10 list of all-time favorites since I was a little boy and it has weathered the test of time very well over the decades, still I must warn you all that love HD not to expect much from this transfer so if you are waiting on your copy or are thinking of ordering this Blu-ray and already have the WB DVD copy you might want to hold off or go read some online reviews before dishing out your money on this release. Video - Looks like a DVD blown up to 1080p in fact I can imagine Warner Brothers have spent next to nothing on this release in the way of improving the over-all image. A 4, 6 or 8K restoration is badly needed since my WB DVD standard 720 x 480 resolution image looks visually more appealing than does this new HD offering. I know you all are doubting my review since usually WB offers excellent HD transfers but in this case they have dropped the ball. Colors look drab & contrast is too dark leaving the image with no pop. At times the image is very soft revealing very little definition in clothing & faces. I think we know now why WB waited so long to transfer this over to Blu-ray not willing to spend any capital on this beloved film to bring it up to HD standards. I am very disappointed in WB for not giving this film some loving care that it deserves. Audio - DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack is a nice step up from Digital Dolby yet this is a front speaker affair with very little use of rear fields. Two Mono soundtracks are in Spanish & German with no English Mono track which to me means purists will be displeased when what they would want is a DTS-HD mono track. Extra's - The Journey Back has been ported over from the earlier DVD release as it should, this is just a great piece of nostalgia that should have been made into a full movie, what were they thinking by not filming part 2?.. A theatrical trailer is the only other extra on disc. I am bummed out by this release since I pre-ordered my copy and have been eagerly awaiting its arrival to find WB has put little effort into its release.

I saw this original years ago and really liked the special effects for that time period. Saw the remake years later and was totally disappointed. Some things are better off being left alone if you get my drift. In the original, Rod Taylor invents a time machine that takes him on a journey into the future and shows how mankind has wasted away, no longer caring much about anything. Worth seeing!

this movie is about a guy who invents time travel and goes ahead in time to see what the futer is like.
