![]() Time loops count as time travel, right? Sure they do. Credit: Universal picturesĪfter a university student is murdered on her birthday, she wakes to relive the same day over and over again. Once you're done with the first film, head right into the second. How to watch: The Butterfly Effect is available to stream on Amazon Prime in the UK, or on Hulu in the U.S. But if you're looking for escapism, you could do a lot worse than The Butterfly Effect. If you're looking for a movie that makes you think, go with Primer. In my opinion it's an eminently watchable film, which uses its time travel element to build tension by gradually revealing the dark childhood memories the main character has been repressing - then opening up the question of what might happen in the present and future if he were able to change them (as you probably guessed, this turns out not to be such a great idea after all). The Butterfly Effect may not be as realistic as other time travel movies, but it's fun, dammit (it's also worth noting that audiences rated the film a much better 81 percent, and five years after it came out the Guardian even published a piece arguing that it "fell victim to snobbery" at the time). But unlike Primer, The Butterfly Effect got absolutely hammered by the critics, racking up a memorably terrible 33 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. The Butterfly EffectĪmy Smart and Ashton Kutcher in 2004's highly panned but misunderstood "The Butterfly Effect."

How to watch: Palm Springs is streaming on Amazon Prime in the UK and Hulu in the U.S. It’s a sharp, original comedy worth revisiting again, and again, and again.* - Proma Khosla, Entertainment Reporter Simmons’ sinister interludes and just the right amount of time travel interrogation. Max Barbakow’s film showcases a cheerfully nihilistic Andy Samberg, along with Cristin Milioti in her best work to date as his increasingly frenzied companion, in “one of those infinite time loop situations you might have heard of.” Their chemistry makes Andy Siara’s script soar, leaving ample room for J.K. When Palm Springs arrived in July, most movie releases were postponed inevitably because of the pandemic - yet here was a movie, a new movie, a festival darling, about people going quietly insane with monotony and losing grip on time itself. Two strangers, Nyles and Sarah, get stuck in a time loop at a wedding in Palm Springs, California. Palm SpringsĬristin Milioti and Andy Samberg in 'Palm Springs.'

See You Yesterday is one of many Netflix originals that is more than worth your time. Fox even shows up in a wonderful (and heavily winking) cameo that plays like a passing-of-the-torch moment. (Duncan-Smith) and Sebastian (Crichlow) try using their newly invented time travel device to save C.J.'s brother from a thickheaded cop with a gun. What starts out as a fun and light-hearted adventure turns increasingly hopeless and soul-crushing as C.J. See You Yesterday stars newcomers Eden Duncan-Smith and Danté Crichlow in a time traveling adventure that forces viewers to really look at the multitude of possible personal choices and random occurrences that end with another Black American murdered by police. There's a lot to love about this feature from first-time filmmaker Stefon Bristol. and Sebastian create backpacks that enable time travel - and they'll use them to try and reverse a tragic, violent event. How to watch: Donnie Darko is available to rent or buy on Prime Video in the UK and the U.S. The result isn't quite up there with Primer levels of confusion, but it's still a film that cries out for a rewatch. The possibility of time travel hangs over the film like a shadow - an extension to the mystery of Donnie's visions - before coming to the forefront at the very end. The movie has that unique combination of mystery, humour, coming-of-age angst, and Jake Gyllenhaal that all combine to make what is essentially a perfect viewing experience. The thing is, Donnie Darko isn't just one of my favourite time travel films - it's also one of my all-time favourite films, full-stop. Where do I start? I'll attempt to write this section without lapsing into embarrassing over-excitement, but it won't be easy. ![]() "Do you believe in time travel?" Credit: Dale Robinette / Flower / Gaylord / Adam Fields Prod / Kobal / ShutterstockĪfter a jet engine crashes through the ceiling of his house, a high school teenager is plagued by nightmarish visions. ![]() “Eh.Marvin?” Penelope said, looking up at the sky with wide eyes.īugs followed her eyes and promptly widened his own. “Eh.Marvin?” You pay over 6,000 Mars dollars and what do you get? K9′s dog house would be better than this.” ![]() Marvin pressed the ‘arrive as close to as possible’ button and was most annoyed when nothing happened. “This is most annoying.” He muttered, as he pressed the button repeatedly. “Honestly. “Excuse me.” An irritated Marvin said, foot tapping rapidly. “But I think you’ll find this is MY ship.”īugs was to happy to even care at this point and gladly let Marvin take over. “Right, let’s go!” Bugs changed into Chungus and took the helm. “Full speed ahead! Adult Swim here we come!” We need to decide who we’re getting next.”Īfter a brief but lively discussion the consensus was that it was better to get Taz on account of the fact he could easily cause millions of dollars of damage if left to his own devices for to long. To which Tweety, laughing, said. “Unless you’re feeling brave enough to go and tell him he has to, but you may get TWO lots of cat claws.” Just behind them in the doors of the spaceship the other looneys watched this touching scene, all wiping tears away from there eyes. “Well.” Bugs said, trying not to sound to chocked up. “I guess Sly ain’t comin’ wiv us, is he?” The two cats embraced and Sylvester swung his son around multiple times in the way that fathers are renown for while making strange noises that translated as ‘I missed you, I missed you, I missed you SO MUCH-” The doors to the spaceship opened and out of them came a familiar silhouette which was soon followed by a even-more familiar voice. What he wouldn’t give to hear his fathers silly voice again. Without even looking properly at the spaceship, the ‘young’ cat sighed, picked up a random stick and drew shapes in the dust. After about 70 years of being a Looney Tune Junior really should have seen that coming. ![]() Actually, now he was looking at them properly, those lights seemed to be coming awfully close to him. If you come back I’ll go star-gazing with you every night, I promise!” He looked up imploringly at the sky and then frowned. "Oh Father. How I wish you were here now so that you could see these stars to. He felt a wave of emotion hit him and - assuming the slightly dramatic pose he was known for - sighed. Just as he was about to give up and go home he saw some twinkling stars that were brighter than the others. There was rather a lot, actually, but none that he wanted. Junior was tapping his foot anxiously, looking up at the sky for any signs of life. Thank you to for reblogging the last chapter and to all those who have liked it thus far.
