If one is really able to get past the fallacies and paradoxes (is that a word), then time travel movies are usually interesting.

The 1960 version of H.G. Welles "The Time Machine" was great. Yeah, they had WW III occurring in 1966 - but aside from that, the special effects were pretty good (considering it was before CGI).

One of the more interesting points in that movie for me was when he went way into the future and encountered the young people. One of them, a young woman, fell into a river and was drowning. None of the others seemed to care nor did anyone lift a finger to help. This lack of concern for human life completely puzzled him. (He did jump into the river and save the young woman.)

I think sometimes we've arrived at that place (where human life is devalued.)

The Eloi depicted in the classic movie did not match the book's version of them. In the book the Eloi barely look human - more like hobbits with simple minds living on a farm run by the Morlochs and in the movie they made them look like brain dead surfers. In any case the movie Eloi did not devalue human life - they were depicted as being farm bred simpletons.

In the book, the Morlocks and the Eloi have something of a symbiotic relationship: the Eloi are clothed and fed by the Morlocks, and in return, the Morlocks eat the Eloi. The Time Traveler perceives this, and suggests that the Eloi–Morlock relationship developed from a class distinction present in his own time: the Morlocks are the working class who had to work underground so that the rich upper class could live in luxury. In the classic movie they Morlochs went underground to escape a nuclear war.
