The Original: This half-baked remake of the 1960 original (in turn adapted from the novel by H.G. Wells) follows inventor Guy Pearce as he attempts to change time to avert the murder of his wife. However, successfully building a time machine is only half the battle, as Pearce ends up hundreds of years in the future, caught in a conflict with the ape-like Morlocks and forced to share a screen with Samantha Mumba. Yikes!

With Added Doc Brown: The Doc turns up in the nick of time to whisk Pearce back to his Nineteenth Century home. The pair are about to embark on a project to avert the rise of the Morlocks, before they realise they’ll both be long dead before they come to power, making it someone else’s problem. Job done.

Risk To The Space/Time Continuum: None at all. Realising that the future is pretty seriously stuffed, the pair decide to leave well alone and make the best of life whilst they still can!
