Edge of Tomorrow.
Live. Die. Repeat.
All You Need Is Kill
Edge of Tomorrow 2 when
Iirc, edge of tomorrow 2 cant happen according to source material.
They are doing one though. Which also confuses me as well
Can’t believe noone mentioned Primer
I heard about it but never watched it. Is it good? What is it about?
Its very good. Its a low budget indie film. Its about two unremarkable engineers who work on toy projects in their garage accidentally discovering a type of time travel similar to the movie Looper. The film follows the realization, experimentation and ultimately the downfall of the engineers due to the power of their own discovery.
Primer is famous for being extremely complex and hard to follow. The characters speak in real engineering jargon, and there’s constant time travel paradoxes happening in the background which you don’t pick up on without multiple viewings.
If you like being intellectually challenged, its great.
Should also be mentioned that the director is a massive POS, which is why I don’t promote the movie even though I like it.
Thank you, director been POS never stopped me from watching or liking the movie/show. I don’t even care for most ratings or reviews. There were many times when rating or review was bad but i loved watching it.
Sometimes I wonder if horrible people can be great storytellers because their outlook on life is so different from our own. That doesn’t excuse or justify their behavior, but still, I wonder.
From my personal experience watching some POS directors/writers content sometimes they can better than good once.
Then you should also check out his other film, Upstream Color. Primer is a genre-defining piece of scifi, but Upstream Color is arguably an even better film.
What’s up with the director?
From Wikipedia:
From 2011 to 2018, Carruth was in a relationship with Amy Seimetz. The couple became engaged in 2013. Seimetz obtained temporary restraining orders against Carruth in 2018 and 2020 and a permanent restraining order in 2020, citing years of domestic and emotional abuse and harassment. Carruth has denied these allegations.
On January 13, 2022, Carruth was arrested at the home of another ex-girlfriend on allegations of domestic assault and vandalism. He was released four days later on a $50,000 bond.
It’s a shame because the film with Seimetz is called Upstream Color and it’s great. I saw it before the allegations so I’m glad I have an unfettered experience of it.
But yeah
1st I’m hearing of this too.
Came here to say this. That movie is fantastic. And it was made for basically nothing. It’s so smart.
They begged borrowed and stole everything to make the movie, except spent $8000 to rent lights to film.
They then went on to make $20m at the box
Top shit. You get 30 min in and go wtf is happening? Then it all hits you. Hard.
Back to the Future. All three of them, they’re so good!
I’ve watched them so much, that when I started to learn english I just started to watch that movie in english, since i knew by hart half of what they were saying
I was worried when this wasn’t anywhere near the top. These aren’t even my favourite time travel movies, they’re my favourite movies, period, and have been since I was 4.
Me too!
Oh yeah, this is a classic! Christopher Lloyd was epic there. This was the first movie I noticed this actor.
A family dressed up as Doc and all three Marty’s for Halloween and I loved it.
My top movie. Only one my kid sat and watched all 3 when I fell asleep. Usually he’d go play video games.
Groundhog Day.
Is this time travel though?
He travels back it time one day once per day.
Easier to put it in the ‘time travel’ genre than the ’ divine intervention until you get things completely the way things should be’ genre.
It’s an anti-time travel movie. Soooo… I guess it counts.
Dark
This show absolutely - if for nothing else but the casting that made you actually believe past/present/future characters were the same person.
So true. I could not believe the actor who played old Ulrich Nielsen was not the same as middle aged Ulrich Nielsen.
Dark was absolutely incredible, one of the best pieces of media I’ve ever seen. Start to finish such a good story.
I feel like I missed a ton of details on my first watchthrough, but still enjoyed it a ton.
I’m curious if anyone has given it a second go, and if it added or removed from the experience?
I have given it a 2nd-3rd-4th go, each time with a new friend who hasn’t yet seen it. And, no joke, I still pick up on a TON of details I’ve missed before. It’s just… so good
Not only do I agree, but also recommend looking up supplementary info, like the companion website while rewatching to help connect dots.
Is it ok to watch it dubbed or should I try to find a subbed version in your opinion?
Subbed for sure.
I’ve only seen it with subs. I have read on an old thread that the dubs are pretty good, but I haven’t given them a shot. Maybe I will try on my 5th watch!
I tried with subs, but I couldn’t read fast enough, so I tried dubs, and they were great. The voice actors were actually really good.
Terminator 2.
A perfect movie.
12 Monkeys.
No other “time travel” movie needs apply.
Primer, 12 Monkeys it’s good but Primer is better.
It’s so good, I got excited when a tv series was announced. Unfortunately the show was bollocks. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)
I never bother with spin-off shit - it’s always just money-grabbing and little else.
Bill & Ted. Be excellent to each other!
I love how casual they approach time travel. It makes no sense, is incredibly inconsistent, and the more you think about it the more you’ll hate it. But it’s a fun series everyone must watch.
Spoilers:
The time travel mechanic literally makes Bill and Ted the only people that matter, ever, in the history of time. The world belongs to Bill and Ted and this is their playground. I love how the characters recognize this in the movies too, so the writers obviously knew their time travel dynamic was goofy.
At least in the first movie:
-
Only people who can change their future actions that’ll have an impact on the future is Bill and Ted (time traveller who told them to pass a class influenced Bill and Ted to change their future actions)
-
If someone other than Bill and Ted interacts with a different time, it has effectively zero impact on their future actions and society is largely unchanged (ie stealing Socrates and Napoleon into the present didn’t really affect modern society, and nobody found it weird a blue phone booth existed in the 1700s?!)
-
Even though Bill and Ted are time traveling, any time they spend time traveling counts against an absolute timeline leading up to their presentation.
I think some of these dynamics changed in the second movie, and again in different ways in the third movie but don’t remember it’s plot enough to defend that claim.
-
Which one? Year? or you liked all?
Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure is my favorite, but I’ll sit through any of em. I just love those characters, and genuinely try to live my life along the “be excellent to each other” philosophy.
Bill & Ted reminds me of Doctor Who.
It’s meant to, the fact that they use a phone booth is a direct homage to DocWho.
I’ve been a who fan for almost 40 years and didn’t put 2 and 2 together until your comment… feeling elated for the revelation and a bit like a nonce at the same time
Oh yeah, I watched it so many times.
If I can’t choose Bill & Ted then I’d say Terminator 2.
You can, its just a suggestion not a rule ;-) This way we can try and get more different titles posted here =)
Doctor Who, c’mon, people!
Waaaay to far down the list.
It’s new who day tomorrow too! We get to see the toymaker and the next regeneration!
About to watch it now!
Edit: it was amazing!
Back to the Future

Check out Palm Springs.
I was surprised by how good this was. The premise seems very … simple? They did a really good job with it though, very entertaining.
About Time
Great movie, so bittersweet.
Greatest feel good movie. It has an amazing message at the end
The first 2 seasons of Travellers were really good. The 3rd was fine. They had to wrap up the story after getting cancelled and, as usual with that sort of thing, it felt a bit strained and rushed.
I’m just happy they were able to wrap it up. They still did a better job than most series.
Very true
Fuck yes, recently binged this and it was fantastic.
My favorite time travel show or movie. After repeated re watches it holds up really well.
Steins;Gate
IMDb link: https://imdb.com/title/tt1910272/
It’s on Hulu, Funimation, and Crunchyroll
It has a really good dub
Edit: Might also be on Netflix in Japan and UK
Especially the visual novel.
Was searching for this, probably has one of the best anime dubs so anyone can enjoy it
Great choice
Absolutely loved both the visual novel and the anime for this.
