Morlocks is a 2011 science-fiction movie directed by Matt Codd and starring David Hewlett, Daniel Caltagirone, and Christina Cole. The movie is a feature-length adaptation of H.G. Wells' 1895 novel, The Time Machine, which explores the concept of time travel and its consequences. In the movie, Dr. Radnor (David Hewlett), a brilliant scientist, has invented a time machine that he believes can help prevent a catastrophic event in the future. Radnor's experiment involves travelling back in time to a period 100,000 years in the past, where he believes he can gather information to prevent the eventual destruction of humanity.

However, the time machine malfunctions and lands Radnor and his team in a world devastated by a great cataclysm in the future. The survivors of this world are the Morlocks, a group of humanoid creatures with advanced technology and the ability to travel through time. The Morlocks' evolution has been driven by their need to survive in a harsh post-apocalyptic environment.

Radnor and his team must navigate the Morlocks' world and find a way to repair the time machine before they can return to their own time. Along the way, they encounter various obstacles, including the Morlocks themselves, who view the visitors as potential threats.

One of the most memorable aspects of the movie is the portrayal of the Morlocks. Unlike in Wells' original novel, the Morlocks in the movie are portrayed as intelligent, sentient beings who have developed a distinct society and culture. They are not the mindless monsters from the original story but rather complex characters who have developed their own unique language and identity.

The movie also features impressive visual effects, particularly in its depiction of the post-apocalyptic world and the Morlocks' advanced technology. The filmmakers have created a vivid and atmospheric world that feels both alien and familiar, drawing on elements of science fiction and fantasy to create a unique experience.

Overall, Morlocks is a solid adaptation of H.G Wells' classic novel, The Time Machine. It offers a fresh take on the story, with impressive visual effects and a memorable portrayal of the Morlocks. The movie will appeal to fans of science-fiction and fantasy, as well as those who enjoy thought-provoking stories about time travel and the consequences of our actions.
