Furthermore, I stayed on the very positive impression of a very well designed TV movie, since there are very long, as a child or teenager, I remember a man starting to explore another time, but changing to his cost her own future for simply killing a fly on his arrival.
I was hoping that it would perhaps an adaptation of the novel, but no.
The novel thus begins quietly enough, in a style that seemed to me an outdated unfortunately nothing, but you can not really establish there reproachfully. Then, when that one comes to the central fact and the time travel, I was very disappointed by both the fanciful and unrealistic proposals René Barjavel on the future of the year 100,000 as more further, but also by the mimetic character in relation to HG Wells, who also appeared more realistic while being innovative.
Fortunately, the last part, although nothing farfetched, save a little rest in a captivating new player who could have experienced some trouble at times.
In all, some good ideas, even if they are now part of the common heritage and not really surprising, but an overall impression of immaturity. René Barjavel gives the impression of having demonstrated a somewhat childish imagination that can disappoint when thinking about an author of such prestige.
However, it will read this novel with the pleasure of rediscovering the reflection of an era. Now, I imagine that there must be more imaginative and worked versions of the machine back in time, in more recent productions, to which it is probably more interesting to navigate if you are making your choice .
