One of the Best Time Travel Movies


There is no such thing as an accurate time travel movie. Back to the Future had plot holes all over the place. Even the original Time Machine offered no explanation for how George could time travel back and forth in the same space and not fuse with himself. So far, we only know that time travel exists on a subatomic level. Positrons are actually electrons traveling backwards in time. But as for this movie, it excelled in terms of what teenagers would do given the chance. They didn't think about saving the world like Gary Hobbs did in Early Edition. They thought of partying and do overs to get better grades or to say thing right thing to get the girl. Of course, we need to suspend disbelief. The movie got its impetus from the Butterfly Effect, but was better done. He knew that he couldn't save his father. He realized that he had to put things back. But Fate gave him a second chance at love and to him that was more important than the million dollars they had won. It is on part with the other recent time travel movie, About Time.

It's only one of the best time travel movies if you're an idiot. The time travel in this movie made no sense, and the characters made no sense either how they used it.

You need to see "Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel" - seriously the best movie on Time Travel ever.

Sorry .. it was ok but the time travel and tech talk was laughable.

Primer is a far better time travel movie IMHO ..

Hahaha. Go and watch some more time travel movies; you clearly haven't seen enough if you think this is one of the best.

The writing was bad and I didn't care about characters. The sci-fi/time travel portion was different and at times interesting but the film is just a hot mess.
