Star Trek IV, while we're at it.
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
JJ's Star Trek is as much a time travel movies as the Terminator movies.
Absolutely. And I'd definitely rank it as a movie that does nifty things with time travel. Two Spocks! Whoohoo!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Aren't there any better time travel movies?
Most of those are really good! But the others people have mentioned are good as well.

Time travel is too confusing for film. In B2TF2, they had to stop in the middle of the film and draw a diagram to explain to the audience what was happening.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I just follow Basil Exposition's advice and not think too much about it....

I think if you just take the moment's word for it, it's not so bad. If you take T1 at its word, for instance, it works. Try and reconcile the whole series, and then you're messed up, but still.

Yeah, Primer doesn't do anything close to that. Which, uh, may support your point.

Hey. New board.
Donnie Darko
Whatever Superman movie it is where he turns back time by spinning the earth backwards (okay, maybe not)

Donnie Darko's in the article, Gris.
And it's the one I'd definitely yank from a top anything list. Boo, hiss!

I've only seen it the once, but I really liked it. My friend called it "infuriatingly terrific."
