Description

How to Build a Time Machine follows two men as they set out on a journey to build their own time machines. Rob Niosi is a stop motion animator who has spent the last 13 years obsessively constructing a full-scale replica of the time machine prop from the 1960 adaptation of H.G. Wells' "The Time Machine." It's his attempt to recapture the memory of seeing the film in theaters with his father. Dr.Ron Mallett is a theoretical physicist whose story begins with a tragedy. He was only 10 years old when his father died suddenly of a heart attack. Distraught, he sought solace in science-fiction. After reading "The Time Machine," Ron dedicated his life to studying physics. He has since become a professor at the University of Connecticut and is now working on building a real time machine in the hopes that he might go back in time to save his father's life.

    What a beautiful and well made documentary. It also has a really profound and weird plot: A man is trying to create a time machine!

    I won't say nothing else, just get your copy and be in awe with this flick!!

    How To Build A Time Machine

    Loved every moment this documentary spent with the physicist. What a compelling, fascinating, intelligent articulate interview subject. However, when the rich OCD dude was onscreen — which is often: I wanted to gouge my eyes out and rip off my ears. So it’s a trade off.
