What are some good Scifi time travel movies??
- Thread starter Joerib
- Start date
Time Cop (Van Damme)... ok, it's funny for an action movie, pop in the popcorn and let your brain unwind...
The Philadelphia Experiment II... nazis with a stealth bomber
Terminator 1 and 2... enough said...
Bill & Ted 1 and 2.... classics
Butterfly Effect... slightly confusing but worth it in the end
12 Monkeys... again, slightly confusing but pretty well done
Honourable mentions to Groundhog Day and Back to the Future, which should be stables anyway lol

Primer - the most realistic (
) time travel film I've seen, tough to follow the different timelines, but in my opinion one of the most interesting time travel films
The Jacket - wierd film with Adrien Brody and Keira Knightly, and Kris Kristofferson . . . Brody plays a gulf war vet whose head injury leads him to an institution that subjects him to some . . . unconventional treatments. The time travel aspects take a back seat to the psychological elements of the story, but it's one of my favorites.

La jetée, on which 12 Monkeys was based.
Slaughterhouse-Five - based on the novel by Kurt Vonnegut, which gave us the phrase "unstuck in time."

All the choices so far are excellent.
I'll throw in The Final Countdown (1980)

1964's The Time Travelers. Gotta love the ending.
The Final Countdown has an interesting premise but the story itself is lacking. i bought it awhile ago thinking it was good but was disappointed with the "pay out". you may as well watch "top gun" and imagine time travel was stated somewhere and you'll get the same effect.
one i'd suggest is "Returner" it's about a time traveller who travels back from an alien apocalypse future to kill the first alien that landed in the 90's. its got plenty of action and the story plays out very well. it's an asian film but has a decent dubbed version as well so if you don't want to read subtitles, there you go.

Yeah, that was actually one I'd never heard of until I came here. After hearing so much about it here I watched and loved it.
I completely forgot this movie existed! I do remember liking it quite a bit.
