The Time Machine 2002
The Time Machine, which premiered in Turkish cinemas on August 23, 2002, is known as one of the few films that achieved good box office success among many important productions with its $123 million revenue, effectively conveying action, adventure, and science fiction elements to the audience. Despite being overshadowed by some of the best films in cinema history in the year it was released, The Time Machine is considered to deserve much more than its 5.9 rating, as many viewers have pointed out.
Alexander Hartdegen, a highly intelligent and eccentric professor, firmly believes that time travel is definitely possible based on his own research and studies. Obsessed with proving this, the young man works tirelessly to achieve his goal. However, a tragic event he experiences renders proving time travel meaningless. Now, he must successfully operate the machine to change the past and correct the unfortunate event that has befallen him. For him, the machine working is simply about fixing what has happened to him. The scientist eventually achieves his desired outcome, but due to a malfunction in the machine, he travels 800,000 years into the future and will witness that in the future, mankind has regressed further than ever before.
