Although the voice isn’t real, it is perhaps based on a person that he once encountered in real life. Cole’s mind, much like his body is actually shifting between dimensions while he time travels. You see further evidence of this when the elevator guard changes faces during Cole’s escape from the mental hospital.
Time travel leads to mental illness. This is stated clearly in the opening scene of the film. Jose says “that’s why none if them come back. They’re all crazy. They got them up on the 7th floor”
When cole is walking on the street in Philly the man yells “you’re one of us,” meaning he recognizes Cole as a time traveler, even though society only sees them all as crazy.
The voice becomes more pronounced, the more that Cole time travels. He’s a having a mental breakdown. Which is exactly what’s has already happened to the toothless guy. He probably doesn’t recognize Railly the second time he sees her because his mind and slipped away for a while.
Cole’s mind is slipping away when he hears the voice. He’s losing touch with post-virus world in the prison, which is why he cant go back
This is the best theory I’ve heard on this yet
It doesn’t get any better. There are too many characters, and they’re all poorly developed. This script needed a major rewrite. The movie just goes on and on and we learn nothing and care very little about the outcome. The lack of tension kills this movie
I wholeheartedly agree. It made Cage extremely confusing and creepy as he moved between silly and psychotic. There were also some loose ends and unexplained threads. I can’t help but wonder if some heavy editing took place.
Needs about 30 minutes clipped off the front end. Doesn’t really find its stride until the second hour, but once it does it’s pretty good
That episode was released 27 years ago lol
