Time Machine(2002) Vox System

A clip from the movie Time Machine(2002) showing maybe the future of digital libraries. Maybe one day you can go to the library and ask the digital librarian about the information you want.

I met Guy Pierce once. Told him how much I liked this movie. He looked at me like I was crazy. True Story.

[@jsteffey88]

It’s crazy how technology eventually catches up with the vast imaginations science-fiction writers/filmmakers of how they perceive humanity’s future. 20 years ago when I first saw this film I had crazy, yet fun ideas of how the future may be. A more positive outlook of the future, like Bicentennial Man, Star Trek TNG, etc… Now, to me, it’s becoming the opposite. The older I get, the harder it is for me to be more open to what lies ahead.

[@andreww1212]

I love how Vox's hair is reminiscent of a Vulcan. Great reference to Star Trek. Especially the "live long and prosper" and the sliding door sound.

This is such a underrated movie that should get more praise than it did. I still think this movie is pretty good, always have.

[@markfox1545]

Not here yet but we are on our way to having this level of technology. As long as we don’t frack the moon.

[@Orome96]

@@knightbane3752 Do you even know what "Fracking" means? It refers to digging into the earth to extract oil or gas. oil is basically the remnants of ancient life forms like dinosaurs. And harvesting the miniscule amounts of gasses on the moon would be as useful as screaming in the vacuum of space. And if you meant to say "Fuck up the moon" then i assure you humanity will probably never possess enough power to destroy any stellar body of this size. Its been bombarded for millions of years by asteroids far greater then any nuclear bomb humanity ever created and its still doing just fine.

[@J_C_CH]

The novel 'The Time Machine' exists in the world of the film. That means in that universe, HG Wells accurately predicted the future.

[@szymonbober2280]

great-grandson of HG Wells, Simon Wells served as director in that movie.

[@Lord_Skeptic]

He should have referenced that later on and actually said we are now in the year that the time traveler went to

[@Lord_Skeptic]

The 1960 version of the film also exists in this universe as well

FUCK THE COMMIES

[@eveltyler7688]

...I love this film, it has the imagination and grandeur that HG Wells' original needs, while being updated to a contemporary interpretation. But like the 1960 version it doesn't take the final journey thirty million years into the future to the end of humanity and the bleak discovery that everything is temporary at that magnitude of Time. I really hope a faithful adaptation with this kind of quality happens one day...

[@bloodnivel70]

au contrarie, this adaptation is better because it removes that part which was unnecessary to begin with. Unfortunately H.G. Wells was a socialist and those kinds of guys love to put demoralization undertones in their works.

[@rickhibdon11]
