Help me out. I'm trying to think of the quintessential films that demonstrate the different types of theoretical time travel.
What else? I'm thinking Primer is a 12 Monkeys type, but maybe it needs another category. And what about multiverse? What's the best choice there?
Update:
@tomasino Star Wreck In the Pirkinning (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GOoMowFpZs yes, they put the whole film on YouTube because it was originally distributed on BitTorrent) works on the mutable timeline model.
If anyone watches it and doesn't speak Finnish, use subs. They're actually good because one of the actors (Antti, who plays Info) did the English ones and fans did many of the others based on his and a translation guide from the cast to try to maintain the same puns/jokes in their own translations.
Unfortunately, the English translation had to be edited to remove the swearing as there's quite a lot of it in Finnish and it'd get the film age blocked otherwise
@tomasino primer is its own type, and one of the better ones in terms of probable realism.
maybe edge of tomorrow for its own.... thing... basically groundhog day with extra steps.
@earthshine @tomasino I agree that Primer is a different “type” than 12 Monkeys.
“Groundhog Day” is absolutely a prototype for a distinct category of time travel film.
@tomasino Jet Li's The One.
Sliders & Everything Everywhere All at Once are good, too, but The One is just such a perfect use of multiverse/parallel timelines, doesn't get goofy with it.
@tomasino Not a film, but https://arsparadoxica.com fits squarely into multiversal timetravel! No doubt about it, the authors are talented!
Hmmmm... Don't include The Terminator on the list since what the characters believe contradicts the (at least to me) simplest interpretation of the events. Or Doctor Who, since every episode might treat time travel differently. Only way the show could last so long!
@tomasino independent one: Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes (JP, 2020)
Illustrates in a humorous way how people strive to control time, as well as the consequences of small interventions aimed at changing it ...
@tomasino _frequency_?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_(2000_film)
time travel as such not possible, but communication is allowed through some device or medium. (apart from that part of the conceit i think it's a _back to the future_ model?)
@tomasino at first glance One-Minute Time Machine may be one, though it probably more accurately is a multiverse one instead.
Not a feature-length film, but rather a short film though.
@tomasino A recent one I really liked was Good luck, have fun, don't die
I'm not sure which one of your three films it aligns with.
@tomasino Time travel is far from the only thing going on in this one, but I thought it was a fun time:
Los cronocrímenes (#Spain 2007) is a decent one-more-time-trip-will-fix-it kind of movie.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480669/reference/
Parallax (#Australia 2004) is a really fun Sliders-type adventure series for younger teens. Good luck with finding it!
Sliding Doors (1998) was popular, but not really a favorite for me.
