"Can anyone name a film about time travel where the plot isn't full of flaws?. I personally can't think of any (well apart from "back to the future 1" " Being an actual time traveller I find even Back to the Future 1 is flawed.

"It's pretty much impossible to make a 'logical' time travel film, because time travel creates paradoxes. " That's why Deja-vu almost works. The paradoxes are always there, they just get explained as they happen in the future/past whatever. | |||

"Source code. Good film, i would recommend it even if it did have plot holes. Deja vu. Action movie, also good. Bit cheesy and probably got plot holes. Primer. Omfg, no idea if this film has plot holes or not, left me very confused and bored but you might like it. Time lapse. Mediocre probably, but i liked it, not really travelling but they do bend time. There is a free version online right now, probably all these films you will find free versions and not have to dign up to anything, even if virginmedia have blocked free sites." I don't think source code is considered a time travel movie & I'm not sure about deja vu. I will give the last two films a go though, thanks | |||

I personally can't think of any (well apart from "back to the future 1" Being an actual time traveller I find even Back to the Future 1 is flawed. If you erase someone from your timeline their faces don't fade out of photographs." There are in fact a number of flaws in Back to the Future. For example, in BTTF3 Doc quite rightly explains, when they discover the alternate 1985, that they can not simply go back to 2015 and stop Biff from obtaining the Almanac as the 2015 they would find would be a continuation of the alternate time line - however, he then shows Marty that in that alternate 1985 he has been committed - this of course, would render him completely incapable of creating the time machine, thus making it impossible for Biff of the future to steal the Time Machine and travel back to 1955 in the first place. It is what is referred to by Scientists as the Grandfather Paradox - the example being that if you were to travel back in time and murder your own grandfather (before he became a father) you yourself would cease to exist. There is a fundamental flaw with all time travel stories, and that is that wherever a time traveller goes back in time, any events (however insignificant) that he / she is involved in will have already have happened. Here's another example. Let's say for example, I were to invent a time machine, and decide to travel back in time and leave myself a note of the lottery numbers for a particular draw. I would already have won the lottery. The event will have already happened - regardless of when I were to build my time machine. I would have already been affected by the event. Right, off out to spend my winnings | |||

"If you were to time travel forwards then that means the future has already happened " Well we're already travelling forward (or so it seems anyway), but if we ever create the technology to bend time and space gravity then we should be able to travel to whatever time we want to. | |||

"Not time travel as such but Interstellar is fantastic, it explores the idea of space time above 2D, it has been praised for its "accuracy" as much as it can be and in my opinion is one of the greats" ............ We must be thinking of two different movies with the same title because that Christopher Nolan movie is dog shit & a complete utter waste of potential | |||

"Even though time travel is very fascinating, I seriously doubt it will ever be possible because the future does not exist. The reason why is because if the future were to exist, it would mean whatever we do or say is already written making our own free will an illusion. If this were to be true, we would just be automated robots doing and saying what is predetermined in the future. Also if the future were to exist, there would be no such thing as chance or luck meaning gambling would be non-existent." But, if there is going to be a future then it is possible that we can travel to it. In 2005 it wasn't 2015, now (albeit 10 years later) it is 2015. We have travelled in time to the year 2015, in the usual way. Time is a dimension, as we see it. We take it as linear because that is how we perceive it as we travel through it at this time, things always age so we presume we are going through time in one direction (things don't get younger they always age). If we can manipulate time, if we can figure out a way to bend the dimension of time then it is possible to travel through it, using gravity, because gravity does effect time and how fast or slow it goes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_relativity Gambling is just chance anyway, it can have some predictability though. Luck hasn't been proven either btw. | |||

"You can do time travel today! They know how to do it in theory! That's time travel backwards not forwards. Now the question is they can travel backwards in the future, why haven't we met them. Well how do you know we haven't, all those aliens that keep getting reported could just be more evolved humans traveling backwards!!,I mean who's to say humans will look like humans in 5000 years?" Very good points | |||

"I was going to say timecop until someone beat me to it. lol One, which has yet to be mention is Millennium.

"If you were to time travel forwards then that means the future has already happened " But you will have only travelled in time, relative to the observer, outside of your vehicle. You haven't really travelled in time, per set, what you can do is alter time for yourself relative to the outside observer. I'll prove it to you. Tomorrow I'm going to set of on a return journey to Betelgeuse at or greater than the speed of light. We will both set separate stopwatches as I leave. Mine will have clocked up less time than yours, upon my return. If your still alive. And that's proven. | |||
