Mine is The Time Machine (2002) by director Simon Wells
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.
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.
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!).
