The Moon explodes. The time traveler is thrown around in his time machine and hits his head on a metal pipe. He gets knocked out. Time passes. He is freezing. More time passes. He is still knocked out. Delirious. More time passes. Stops his time machine on the day July 16th. Gets medical treatment. Recovers. Conversations with the locals. Samantha Mumba tells the group that the time traveler is a wandering idiot who hit his head. The group of locals are entertained.
I like how, in a much earlier scene, the actor who portrays the time traveler tries unconvincingly to feign defensiveness when "Filby" asks him what he has been doing and that was a scene that a title card had just established was "Four Years Later" in this March 2002 premiere film that was four years after March 1998. Those Steven Spielberg Nazi's are skilled, that is certain.

The Time Machine (2002 film)
The Time Machine is a 2002 American science fiction film loosely adapted from the 1895 novel of the same name by H. G. Wells, and the 1960 film screenplay by David Duncan.
In the year 1899, Dr. Alexander Hartdegen (Pearce) is a young inventor teaching at Columbia University in New York City. Unlike his conservative friend David Philby (Addy), Alexander would rather do pure research than work in the conformist world of business, in which all men wear "identical bowler hats". After his sweetheart Emma (Guillory) is killed by a robber, he devotes himself to building a time machine in order to save her. When the machine is completed four years later, he travels back to 1899 and prevents her murder, only to see her killed by a horse-drawn carriage.
Seeing that one means of Emma's death has been replaced by another, Alexander goes to 2030 to find out whether her life can be saved. At the New York Public Library, a holographic AI librarian called Vox 114 (Jones) insists that time travel is impossible, so Alexander continues into the future until 2037, when the accidental destruction of the Moon renders the Earth virtually uninhabitable. When he restarts the time machine to avoid falling debris, he is knocked unconscious and travels to the year 802,701 before waking up and stopping the machine.
At this point in time, human civilization has reverted to a primitive lifestyle. Some survivors, called "Eloi", live on the sides of cliffs on what remains of Manhattan. Alexander is nursed back to health by a woman named Mara (Samantha Mumba), one of the few Eloi who speak English. One night, Alexander and Mara's young brother Kalen (Omero Mumba) dream of a frightening, jagged-toothed face, and the next day, the Eloi are attacked and Mara is dragged underground by ape-like monsters called "Morlocks" that hunt the Eloi for food. In order to rescue her, Kalen leads Alexander to Vox 114, which is still functioning.
After learning from Vox how to find the Morlocks, Alexander enters their underground realm through an opening that resembles the face in his nightmare, but he is captured and thrown into an area where Mara sits in a cage. There he meets an intelligent, humanoid Über-Morlock (Irons), who explains that Morlocks are the evolutionary descendants of the humans who stayed underground after the Moon broke apart, while Eloi are evolved from those who remained on the surface. Über-Morlocks are a caste of telepaths who rule the monsters that prey on Eloi.
The Über-Morlock explains that Alexander cannot alter Emma's fate because her death is what drove him to build the time machine in the first place: saving her would create a temporal paradox. Alexander gets into the machine, which the Morlocks have brought underground, and prepares to return home, but he suddenly pulls the Über-Morlock into the machine, which carries them into the future as they fight. The Über-Morlock dies by rapidly aging when Alexander pushes him outside of the machine's sphere of influence. Alexander then stops in the year 635,427,810, revealing a harsh, rust-colored sky over a wasteland of Morlock caves.
Finally accepting that he cannot save Emma, Alexander travels back to rescue Mara. After freeing her, he starts the time machine and jams its gears, creating a violent distortion in time. Alexander and Mara escape to the surface as a huge explosion kills the Morlocks and destroys their caves. With the time machine gone, Alexander begins a new life with Mara and the Eloi. The film ends with two scenes in the same location displayed in parallel: while Alexander shows Mara and Kalen a field that was once his home, Philby and Alexander's housekeeper, Mrs. Watchit, sadly discuss his absence and Philby throws away his own bowler hat. Before leaving Alexander's lab, Mrs. Watchit says, "Godspeed, my fine lad. Godspeed."
Production
The film was a co-production of DreamWorks and Warner Bros. (the latter of which owned the rights to the original film) in association with Arnold Leibovit Entertainment who obtained the rights to the George Pal original Time Machine 1960 and collectively negotiated the deal that made it possible for both Warner Brothers and DreamWorks to make the film.

My God. What's happened to you?
I've been... I've been working.
You remember that? You used to care about your work.
I care more about my life. And yours.
I came by the house every day after the funeral...
and every week and every other month.
Then I stopped coming. Did you even notice?
- It hurt me, Alex... very much. - Then why are you here now?
- There are some things I have to say you may not like hearing... - I know. I know.
You're concerned. I know. I hear it from Mrs. Watchit every day.
But really... I need you to go.

1930
March 31 – The Motion Pictures Production Code is instituted, imposing strict guidelines on the treatment of sex, crime, religion and violence in motion pictures for the next 40 years.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_Picture_Production_Code
Motion Picture Production Code
The Motion Picture Production Code was the set of industry moral censorship guidelines that governed the production of the vast majority of United States motion pictures released by major studios from 1930 to 1968. It is also popularly known as the Hays Code, after Hollywood's chief censor of the time, Will H. Hays.
The Motion Pictures Producers and Distributors Association (MPPDA), which later became the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), adopted the code in 1930, began effectively enforcing it in 1934, and abandoned it in 1968, in favor of the subsequent MPAA film rating system. The Production Code spelled out what was acceptable and what was unacceptable content for motion pictures produced for a public audience in the United States.
The office enforcing it was popularly called the Hays Office in reference to Hays

CHAPTER ONE
Pre-Code Hollywood
Sex, Immorality, and Insurrection in American Cinema, 1930-1934
By THOMAS DOHERTY
Columbia University Press
On the Cusp of Classical Hollywood Cinema
On or about July 1934 American cinema changed. During that month, the Production Code Administration, popularly known as the Hays Office, began to regulate, systematically and scrupulously, the content of Hollywood motion pictures. For the next thirty years, cinematic space was a patrolled landscape with secure perimeters and well-defined borders. Adopted under duress at the urging of priests and politicians, Hollywood's in-house policy of self-censorship set the boundaries for what could be seen, heard, even implied on screen. Not until the mid-1950s did cracks appear in the structure and not until 1968, when the motion picture industry adopted its alphabet ratings system, did the Code edifice finally come crumbling down.
Hollywood's vaunted "golden age" began with the Code and ended with its demise. An artistic flowering of incalculable cultural impact, Hollywood under the Code bequeathed the great generative legacy for screens large and small, the visual storehouse that still propels waves of images washing across a channel-surfing planet. The synergistic spread of American entertainment, the whole global kaleidoscope of films, television, video games, computer graphics, and CD-ROMs, draws on the censored heritage for archival material, deep backstory, narrative blueprints, and moral ballast. Whether conventional retread or postmodern pastiche, Hollywood under the Code is the prime host to a long line of moving image parasites.
But what of Hollywood "before the Code" the motion picture record that predates the censorship that polished up the golden age heritage? For four years—from March 31, 1930, when the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America formally pledged to abide by the Production Code

You never cease to surprise me.
Emma, I need to talk to you.
- Shall we walk through the park? - No!
No,
No. Let's go into the city.
- Alex, what is it? - Nothing. Let's just hurry.
Running along is all very well for you. You're not wearing a corset.
- Bleecker Street, and be quick about it.
Now you're all gallant.
Professor, you're shivering. I hope you're not coming down with something.
No, no. I'm fine.
I'm wonderful. I'm walking down the street with you again.
But we took a walk three days ago.
Well, not like this. Never like this.
- Heavens, look at that car. - Oh, I've seen it.
Now I know you're ill. You're passing up the chance to explore some new gadget.
- It's only a machine. - Alexander, tell me what's going on.
- Is something wrong? - No.
No. Emma, listen to me.
I need to leave you now, but I want you to go straight home and stay there.
I promise you I'll come by sometime later tonight, and I won't make any sense.
I'll be all upset that you didn't meet me in the park, but you must trust me.
Everything will be all right.
