I can't wait till Terminator 3 hits on dvd and it made me think about the way the Terminator movie series has handled time travel since it's inception. I think T3 pushed the concept into a direction that many people didn't think it had the balls to do. Who here thinks another movie has handled time travel better?
I love Time Travel, it's my favorite facet of science fiction. I chose back to the future, only because I think it's the best damn movie trilogy ever.
And I don't like 12 Monkies. I wish they would've gone more indepth into the time tavel process.
I thought the recent adaptation of The Time Machine was great. *hides*
The Time Machine was decent, but it was extremely dissapointing. I had just read the book before seeing the film, and I hated almost everything they changed, especially the Eloi and the leader Morlock. Oh well, at least the actual time travelling special effects looked cool as hell, and I loved the concept of mankind mining to moon and causing it to explode and fire debris towards the earth.
I haven't read the book (other than an abridged kiddie version I read when I was nine or ten), so that's probably why I enjoyed it more than you did. Movies usually never live up to the books that spawn them.
I also think Samantha Mumba is hot.Quote:

That episode of Futurama where Fry sleeps with his grandma. Funny episode.
OOO!! Black Knight!
Back To The Future or...Donnie Darko.
Donnie Darko, as its such an odd take on the subject, but off that list I like 12 Monkeys.
Well, 12 Monkeys is only film on the list that I actually hate. Didnt work for me at all.
I love time traveling ideas of Terminator series, even though it gets convoluted if you think of it.
I still wanna know if the Terminators in 3 were Cyberdine Systems or some kind of US G'vt thing... USM Model 101 or something.
I had to vote for 12 Monkeys off that list, it was so well done. And yeah Donnie Darko does a great job on it, they just make you work a little harder on figuring it all out.
Not all movies can have poor acting, a rehashed plot, and lame-ass gunkata ala Equlibrium. :DQuote:
