Plot hole: When Alexander is traveling into the future and goes through the ice age he is visibly affected by the extreme cold temperature outside the time bubble. However when he stops in the future when the moon had been destroyed then continues he is not affected by the explosions and extreme heat around him. Based on the effect the extreme cold had on him (frost on his face and hair) he should have been roasted alive.
The Time Machine (2002)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Simon Wells
Starring: Jeremy Irons, Guy Pearce, Orlando Jones, Mark Addy, Phyllida Law, Samantha Mumba, Yancey Arias
Continuity mistake: At the very beginning of the movie, the clock on the wall strikes three o'clock. In the next scene, when Philby reminds Alexander of his date with Emma, he tells Alexander that it's close to five.
Uber-Morlock: 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 to save her?
Trivia: At the end of the movie, when Mrs. Watchitt is standing in the doorway, there is a picture of H.G. Wells hanging on the wall behind her.
Question: When Alex went back in time why didn't we see his machine when 1899 Alex and Philby were talking in the lab?
