Each new trip back in time is a standalone timeline and the one you left can never be returned to.
Basically Primer by Shane Carruth is the only smart man's Time Travel movie.
People bitch that its boring and the plot is mumblecore and the time machine isn't actually introduced until the second act.
>>220464018 Time travel creating new and separate timelines isn't necessarily any more plausible than having just one timeline which is somehow "malleable" enough that grandfather paradoxes and stuff can happen without breaking everything. It's also creatively limiting if you can't allow for anything paradoxical or approaching it
>>220464312 Yes. In Looper's future, a % of the population suddenly evolves telekinesis, it's not exclusive to that kid, though with most who can do it, it's weak enough that they're only capable of little party tricks. It's unrelated to the invention of time travel- they probably should have found a fictional way to connect those two things
>>220463819 >what rules do you think it should adhere to, if any? >>220464262 >It's also creatively limiting if you can't allow for anything paradoxical or approaching it Rules are by their nature limiting.
I'm not opposed to Back to the Future or Looper as fun films. I'm not the anon who bitched initially. I should have said that. But yeah. Primer is under appreciated.
>>220464416 Rian Johnson has the sole writing credit, along with directing it. I don't hate his work, I'm more of a fan of The Last Jedi than most anons here, but yeah he clearly needs to try writing in collaboration with someone who can give things additional passes
