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.

Zidane,

Fuck yes, recently binged this and it was fantastic.

sik0fewl,

I'm just happy they were able to wrap it up. They still did a better job than most series.

Very true

Hugin,

My favorite time travel show or movie. After repeated re watches it holds up really well.

Predestination and 12 Monkeys.

tenchiken,

They seriously need to give the people behind Predestination more monies…

12 monkeys always great.

roamic,

I liked the short story that predestination was based on more. But movie was still good.

bionicjoey,

Russian Doll is a pretty good one

noroute,

Never watched it what is it about?

bionicjoey,

It’s a time loop story like Groundhog Day

taiyang,

With stairs. And dying.

AwwTopsy,

The stairs are the best part!

bionicjoey,

Oh God, not the stairs!

Archer,

I winced every single time

noroute,

Oh i forgot about that one, it was very good indeed.

Dark and primer

kakes,

Recently watched Primer and absolutely loved it. I keep seeing Dark recommended as a followup - I really gotta see this show.

Is Dark a sequel? Or just a spiritual successor?

intensely_human,

Neither

kakes,

Just similar vibes, apparently.

JackGreenEarth,

Back to the Future

The ultimate mindfuck time paradox movie is for me “Predestination”

The movie is based on the short story All You Zombies by Robert A. Heinlein, and it does a great job preserving the spirit and internal logic of the narrative. When you take that into account, you’ll realize how impressive the filmmaking is here. It’s hands down my favourite time travel movie.

kromem,

Future Man (2017-2020) is silly and fun, but actually surprisingly smart with its handling of time travel.

Udonezo,

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

SendMePhotos,

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.

space,
Pietson,

It's far from my favourite but since most others have been mentioned I'll give Kung Fury a shout. It's hilarious.

OrangeJoe,

Tank you

theherk,

This movie is such a gem.

The Time Traveler's Wife is an interesting twist on things, including free will. I haven't seen the series version.

Primer (2004)

My favorite movie about time travel is Back to the Future, but the movie that I think did time travel best is Primer. If time travel works, it’s probably like that.

Technically not a time travel movie but it has a few elements of it: Interstellar (2014)

noroute,

Interstellar reminds me of Inception. Hard to follow and not much logic behind it.

No_Ones_Slick_Like_Gaston,

If this is your take stay away from Tenet

focusforte,

I’d argue that time dilation is a form of time travel.

Appoxo,
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

What I meant is it wasnt the main plot of the movie.
It was a concern but not the primary.

That isn’t Back to the Future?

Star Trek: First Contact (1996)

roofuskit,

Solid choice. I’ve shown this one to non-trekkies who haven’t seen TNG and they really enjoyed it even as a stand alone movie.

grue,

Hot take: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home > Star Trek: First Contact
