I think this will happen in 2030 minus the Moon Part in 2037.

Good movie, just seen it. Its a shame though to what happened, I guess the Civilization would of rebuild again and now they have knowledhe up to year 2037 (due to that AI) which will help them overcome MANY problems (until some software bug or machine breaks down occurs).
7/10 Id rate it (imdb scale).

Saw this one a long time ago. I remember enjoying it. Probably worth checking it out again from what I hear.

The whole book is pretty swell.

Perhaps one day I will set sail, and save a whale.

Both movie adaptations of The Time Machine (the 1960 version and the 2002 version) invoked some global disaster to explain why part of humanity chose to live underground, and eventually became the Morlocks. In the older movie, it was nuclear war; in the newer one, the Moon fell toward Earth and was tidally disrupted.
HG Wells' original novel, however, required no such cataclysm for the division of mankind into Eloi and Morlock. It was simply an outgrowth of the late 19th Century class system: the rich grew ever more lazy and effete, while the workers came to live underground as industry was cleaned up from the surface world. In principle, there is no reason why that might not still happen eventually. Class distinctions may well reassert themselves in the next century, as resources diminish and ruling groups begin holding onto power and privilage more forcefully...
It's certainly more likely than the lunar catastrophe - to significantly alter the Moon's orbit would take an explosion thousands of times bigger than the entire global arsenal of nuclear weapons. Blasting out caverns for construction of a colony would hardly require that kind of force!

Probably future will come with lots of good and bad as well as several surprises.... Humanity hopes to see all those in real. Today we consider it as impossible but its fact tomorrow we experience it.
