Of course time travel is a bad idea (theoratically)..
28 November 2005
It's as simple as this.. you travel back in time you BREATH, you occupy space and you can destroy the future time line.. it really is that simple.. (you should see The Simpson's Halloween episode (forgot the number) where homer kills a fly in the dino age and changes the future.. smart kind of comedy)

If your looking for theory's from science on time travel believe I saw a article in Scientific American around 1998-2000

Any way, my first interpretation of the movie and there's probably not going to be another.. (I mean I won't re-watch for a hidden message/missed plot what not) uninteresting characters, uninteresting dialog, uninteresting plot.. (in the end) and has already been mentioned confusion..

Maybe, I don't like this movie because I'm interested in time travel and it makes 0 sense and has 0 logic.. But to be honest if these characters where experiencing time travel and talked about the logic involved it did not TRANSLATE to the screen.. hence the director did not want to or didn't know how to explain this to the audience..

Any way I consider myself a intellectual and I didn't think in this movie.. I starred dumbly and just said, wtf! Maybe this works on people not interested in time travel.. btw.. for the record and scientifically speaking it really bothered me when these guys where EXPERIMENTING that they just jumped into the box (after being some what afraid of it) and just let loose.. the real truth is some one would have sent a Test animal into the box.. also the scene where there doing the WATCHES was poor.. A real director making a real movie if he was showing that watches go back in time.. he would show shots of the CLOCK FACES

The Time Machine a H.G. Wells classic that today of course makes no sense is a better book and movie just do to it's classic nature and it's sheer storytelling, this is not.. for those that liked it you've just been sapped into a bad indie project; if it makes you think that's okay but for some of us this concept is better served on a episode of the outer limits or stng
