Mine is The Time Machine (2002) by director Simon Wells
Just finished season 2 of The Lazarus Project. Great series and plenty of time crossings to keep you thinking about the character journeys (who’s where and when!).
Can’t believe nobody has mentioned “Needle in a Time stack” (2021).
Oh wait. Yes I can.
But seriously though, I’ll throw a real answer out there. It’s not my favorite by a long stretch, but it’s worth a watch IMO: Paradox (2016). The writing is bad, the acting is bad, and the special effects are literally laughable, but the story and concept are actually fairly fresh and interesting. Good if you’re in the mood for a semi-thought-provoking B-movie.
Really enjoyed Looper. It leaves just enough to the imagination to be super interesting. that scene with what they do to the man in the past really stuck with me.
Just didn’t have the same feel to the movie. Maybe if you never seen the movie it might be better. I find most remakes fail without at least some original cast.
I thought it was pretty good, but maybe a little rushed in the scenes where he’s putting together what the drug is doing. Also, I saw this after seeing Spring and The Endless by the same writer/ director team and I really enjoyed those. If you haven’t seen them and liked Synchronic, I highly recommend both.
You mean with the skip drives? Which books I the series have you read. There’s something about them that isn’t talked about until I think book 2. Definitely in 5.
I have to admit I read them probably 10 years ago, but the idea of returning to a planet (for the people on the planet) hundreds of years later and for you it feels like a month or so, stuck in my head.
I’m struggling to think of what part of the book you’re thinking of.
I’m on book 5 and 15 years have passed since the events of the first book. One of the characters says he’s 90, and they leave Earth when they’re 75. There’s no hundreds of years passing for anyone. The FTL travel is explained in a way without time dilation, but does have other side effects.
I’m being intentionally vague as Old Man’s War is one of my favourite book series and I enjoyed the reveal of the early plot points.
Hmm, maybe I’m confused with a different book, I’ll have to read them again. But as I remember that is where the “old man” comes from, him fighting a war that stretches for hundreds or thousands of years for the “empire”, yet only a lifetime for him.
Nope, totally different book series. In Old Man’s War, 75 year olds from earth are recruited to fight aliens in space. How the military makes use of old farts is the first plot point.
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time!! It’s my favorite anime movie and time travel movie. It wasn’t widely released in the US though so the dvd is EXPENSIVE.
The first 2 seasons of Travellers were really good. The 3rd was fine. They had to wrap up the story after getting cancelled and, as usual with that sort of thing, it felt a bit strained and rushed.
That show confused the crap outta me. They did their best to make the MC seem completely worthless. And it felt like the writers were straight ripping on the target audience the whole time. Look no further than the opening scene to know what I mean
Dude this ended up being one of my favorites. It is crude humor and just a blast to watch. The character development is there and the story progress is fantastic to watch unfold. It was surprisingly delightful in all aspects.
