We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story

Based on the children’s book of the same name, Rex tells the story of how he went from the Cretaceous to the modern-day golf course. The story is weak, but the animation and voices are better than the usual 90s fare. —Michael Main

The Time Machine

  • by John Logan, directed by Simon Wells
  • (premiered at an unknown movie theater, Los Angeles, 4 March 2002)
This version (definitely not your grandfather’s time machine) has imaginative settings, but for me, the refactored plot was all dramatic music and no substance. —Michael Main
You built your time machine because of Emma’s death. If she had lived, it would never have existed. So how could you use your machine to go back in time and save her? You are the inescapable result of your tragedy, just as I am the inescapable result of you. You have your answer. Now go.
