Hi guys,

I can't remember if I've post this poll on the message board before, but if I have, I'm sure some of the answers will have changed by now...

What is - in your opinion - the best adaptation of time travel in a movie you've seen?

- I like how - in Austin Powers 2 - we're told "try not to think about it..."
- But the best use of time travel (or at least "time tampering") would be Frequency, where the paradoxes and troubles of messing with time are addressed.
- The worst use of time travel I've probably ever seen has to be Time Cop, for reasons I'd rather not rave about right now.

The movie 'The Thirteenth Floor' is a real trip. It is not time travel but it is time travel. It is about computer generated reality so well done that the "players" can't tell its not real......(.you know like "I can't believe its not butter"). The computer complex resides on the 13th floor but as the plot develops it seems that floor 13 is more real than floor12, 14 or any of the rest of the world for that matter. If you consider their computer to be a 'dream directing' machine it all gets a bit spooky.

Like you dream the existance of a complete world full of people. What happens to THEM when you wake up? Blink!

Like every morning we all fall asleep and dream that we are awake. ha ha
 
I won't refer anymore to anyone. Just as *I* said. But I want to THANK (thank for real) all of you for reading my statements. Why do I "imitate back"?: because *I* want to show you the way. One more question, and last one "for now": Where do you think *YOU* are going to WAKE UP? (place)?
 
THE POWER OF THE MIND OHHH...HOW BEAUTIFUL!....Explanation: (the brain is NOTHING the mind is the POWER) As a friend (tell you friend FOR REAL)...don't believe it?: Answer: That's why *YOU* don't understand me. All I can say guys..it is the PERFECT WAY...TAKE IT OR LOOSE IT...YOU WILL BE LOST. Want to know the real answer of my question above: YOU WILL WAKE UP ON THE SAME PLACE *YOU* ARE.
 
"Purpose" of SAME PLACE *YOU* ARE: "You will remain, waiting things to come, NOT doing things to come"....This is my idea friends. Miracle or Doom...hhmmm, Miracle will be bad things solved, and Doom will be destruction.....What will happen NEXT? Are you going to wait for that?...."Maybe I'll be ready for anything" Do *YOU* know that FOR SURE?????????????.......-------no end...IF *YOU* are strong, then I hope you'll be ready when TIME comes. ah, this is not the END Hey guys I suggest you see the episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation the episode is one among others, it's called: "Q Who?" Hope you don't think I'm doing the same thing "Q" did "IF" *YOU* understand me. But if *YOU* keep criticizing me, I will continue HELPING *YOU* FRIENDS. Otherwise *YOU* change your strategy. I will DEFEND myself BUT I won't fight *YOU* back.
 
I'm gonna tell you what picture you have of me: "You think I am some predator trying to live by others, in this case you" Did I get it?...HA HA HA HA HA HA, now I'm laughing thththttthat's a real joke! HA..HA..PSSSSSFFF HA HA HA HA HA...glubs..Hope you find the original "frequency". "And I'm not a ad admitting defeat" friends. Go ahead, laugh you too HA HA HA HA HA HA HA "|{<(nothing personal)>}|"
 
Celebi time traveler, I think you're posting in the wrong thread. This thread is about "Best use of time travel in a film".

Thanks,

I was thinking, you know Planet of the Apes was not that bad of a time travel movie. Of course, you are not absolutely certain that it is a time travel story until the ending.

The odd thing about Frequency was that the guy was able to remember the alternate time lines. I think my favorite scene in the movie is near the end, when temporal ripple passes through the house.
 
I don't particularly believe that Dr. Who was a very good time travel show - not in that it presented travel through time poorly, but rather that it didn't really use time travel much at all in the series.

Sure, there were the Time Lords and the TARDIS, but Dr. Who did more space travel than time travel. The writers tried to toss in some time elements into every story, but it all felt so contrived. If Dr. Who could travel in time, why didn't he just go back 5 or 10 minutes and fix up everything the Master screwed up?

How about Back to the Future?

Especially that part where his parents don't kiss and he starts to disappear.

"Disappear in your mind, but not in mine". I'm not capable of disappearance, "at least in my mind".
