Line #2 YMMV/TheTimeMachine2002


1	* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Did Alexander attack the Über-Morlock first to give the Eloi a chance to survive, or for using Emma's death as an example in their argument on what is considered natural law?
2	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Pretty much the entirety of Klaus Badelt's score qualifies. "Eloi," "Stone Language," "Time Travel," "Morlocks Attack," "What If?", and "Godspeed" especially stand out.
3	* MisaimedFandom: Of ''course'' the Morlocks are AlwaysChaoticEvil {{Manipulative Bastard}}s and the Eloi are {{Idiot Hero}}es!
4	* {{Narm}}: "The Über-Morlock"? ''Really?'' It could have been worse. They could have called him "Peak Morlock."
5	* NarmCharm: Many stock scream effects are used throughout the film, though this is especially prevalent during the Morlocks' attack on the Eloi homestead. The Morlocks also have a stock bull sound as their main call. While certainly cheesy and a bit tension-deflating, it adds a fun B-movie charm to a very B-movieesque story.
6	* NightmareFuel:
7	** Alexander jumping from 2030 to 2037 and finding himself in the middle of the Earth being ravaged by a moon terraforming attempt gone ''horribly'' wrong. When he tries to get back into his time machine and start it back up, he's conked on the head by a piece of debris and is left in there while the machine fast-forwards ''hundreds of thousands of years''.
8	** The inner areas of the Morlocks' lair are standard {{horror}} fare, considering that this is a race of subterranean cannibals. The alternate timeline that the Über-Morlock shows Alexander where he had a family with Emma is somehow ''worse'' than that, though, in a [[DissonantSerenity dissonant, uncanny way]]. You see it, the somewhat ethereal setting of his old laboratory now converted to a warm, loving home for his wife and children as his little son calls out to him, but you know that it's just ''wrong''.
9	** The Morlocks in general, unlike the nocturnal ghoulish like creatures in the books, they resemble burly Troglodytes with wide reddish animistic eyes and flatten noses that give them a SkullForAHead appearance.
10	** The Über-Morlock, with his pale skin and icy blue eyes, looking [[BishonenLine much more humanoid than his legions]] yet [[UnintentionalUncannyValley subtly wrong]]. His death is pretty disturbing: He gets in a fistfight with Alexander while the time machine is running, and gets knocked out of the machine's sphere of effect, causing him to rapidly age (from Alexander's point of view), die, and decay horribly.
11	** The BadFuture Alexander comes to after killing the Über-Morlock. It's an [[{{Mordor}} absolute hellfire landscape]] where the Morlocks have made complete slaves of the Eloi, and have kept this up for ''635 million years!''
12	* OneSceneWonder: As with the Borg in ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'', the Morlocks were given a leader that had not existed previously, in order to explain what was going on to those unfamiliar with the source material. Played [[HamAndCheese with a side of cheese]] by Creator/JeremyIrons.
13	* StrawmanHasAPoint: The Über-Morlock does rightfully point out that the predator/prey relationship the Morlocks have with the Eloi is a result of 800,000 years of evolving into that. As horrible as it is, Alexander is a man out of his time; even now, if a man from Alexander's time came here, they would consider ''us'' to have BlueAndOrangeMorality. He is trying to apply civilized human logic and moralities to a clearly tribal culture. Also noted is that Alexander only sees the BadFuture ''after'' he has killed the Über-Morlock, implying that if he didn't make his machine a temporal bomb, that is what awaited the Eloi without the controlling influence of the Über-Morlock.
14	* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Creator/GuyPearce, at least according to Creator/RogerEbert:
15	-->''Pearce, as the hero, makes the mistake of trying to give a good and realistic performance. Irons at least knows what kind of movie he's in, and [[HamAndCheese hams it up accordingly]].''
16	* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome:
17	** There is no denying that the actual time machine is beautiful, with its brass finishing and massive glass spinning wheels.
18	** Also the time travel sequences themselves.
