• please can someone write what happens when Hartdegen goes further into futer, after the uber-morlock dies etc. - a wasteland-like environment is shown. Does anyone have an explanation for that?--TheFEARgod 15:38, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

In the original book, the main character travels to this period of time and witnesses the last days before Earths destruction. He describes it much the same way, as a desolate wasteland. I would surmise that the makers decided to include this bit in the film and alter it to suggest that without Alexanders intervention, the Morlocks will continue to spread across the world, wiping out the Eloi and consuming the Earths natural resources. --Crais459 11:59, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I believe that the Uber-Morlock mentions that without those like him, the more primitive Morlocks would revolt and waste the entire food supply. This article is poorly written, with a lot of it being conjecture. It needs work. Levid37 17:57, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Inconsistencies

I deleted the last one because it doesn't make any sense. The future that Alex saw was not definite. He did not attempt to stop it until after he saw it, so it could still be changed. He was able to use the machine to do so because whether or not he had seen the future, the time machine would still exist because of Emma's death. L2K 17:11, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, that entry was nonsensical Kingpin1055 19:13, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Destruction of the whole Molock race?

It is said that when the professor destroyed his time machine, he provoked the destruction of the whole Molock race, while it has been clearly stated that there are other colonies on the planet —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.164.255.82 (talk • contribs) 18:05, 15 August 2007

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Time machine.jpg

Image:Time machine.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
