A pair of scientists learn they can push electrons back in time and can send emails.

Calm, enthralling, and deeply moving. This movie does all the right things with science fiction and time travel. It keeps the core values of the characters, lets things make just enough sense to have the audience both engaged, confused and planning ahead, and has a romantic streak to it.

Highly recommended!

The fates of two dumbasses is challenged by an man from their future, bent on bending their future-utopia into his world-domination.

An excellent movie. Though it does suffer from some generation-drift, it suffers far less than its predecessor. It’s not childish, but it is light enough to be “young”. Enjoyable, well-written and recommended. Grab a beer and some popcorn with your buddies and enjoy this at least once.

Two dumbass kids are given a time machine to help with their oral report for history class.

These were simple times, where a movie’s comedy was as light as the effort to make it. A straightforward no-thought movie, perfect for getting drunk and talking funny. Though I recommend it, I fear it is drifting away from its original target ages and may only be good for people old enough to have already seen this.

A physicist works in secret to build a wormhole generator, but its failure leads to surprising consequences.

While I don’t regret watching this, it’s only fair at best in my mind. While it does get tangled up in some of the more interesting themes of time travel fiction, it dances around things and is generally too fluffy for me to keep the tough stuff in my mind.

Some sort of time machine thing is discovered by an idiot and time machiney things happen because of paradoxes and a murder spree of intrigues and stuff.

I don’t think I paid close enough attention to understand what the fuck was going on. It wasn’t bad as such, but it was distractingly-overdubbed Kiwi-ese. Everything about it was fair, except for bits of the plot not grabbing me, and the speaking. The speaking thing is kind of important for me.

Soldiers, separated from their opposing factions, travel with the last techno-druid to their sacred land, hoping for knowledge.

I wanted this to be good, but it’s as though it had all the most boring parts of any random anime, except this was live-action. Not recommended, even for people who might like the concept.

A world broken by plague sends a team back in time to prevent the virus from spreading.

It’s better than a B-movie but definitely not A-quality. I would class this as a good TV-movie. Worth a watch if you’re into science fiction.

  • In the year 2204

The last of a powerful race tours time and space, regularly ending up in trouble.

Playful fun. Occasionally attempts to glide past some significant issues with time travel but is generally bubblegum. Doesn’t take itself too seriously. Recommended until it goes woke.

Survivors of a plague that wipes out most humans make a desperate bid to undo it all by sending a man back in time.

I suppose it’s inevitable that a television series based around time travel will get convoluted really quickly because they stretch things out. Still, this doesn’t feel very good to me.
