[i_wish_i_was_smart]

if anyone has seen this movie i'd like to know your thoughts on how it portrais time travel.

I saw it, and I really enjoyed it. As far as the way it portrays time travel, the most notable thing is that it makes no attempt whatsoever to explain how time travel is possible. Even Back to the Future had its Flux Capacitor^TM, LOL.

Seriously though, I don't think that jusfiying time travel is within the scope of the story. They assumed that time travel is real, and told the story around it. That's why it's called "Sci-Fi".

OMG, that was such a good movie! My youngest daughter made me watch it. We always pick movies for each other to experience. She says it's about tangent universes.

It's a damn good movie.

Actually, I just now remembered the conversation between Donnie and his science teacher about wormholes.

Don't listen to me any more tonight, I'm drunk.

Didn't it have something to do with whirlwinds and airplanes? :tongue2:

I haven't been that scared of a rabbit since Monty Python's Flying Circus.

i liked the movies, time travel was conceived by the use of wormholes, so they say, its somewhat believable.

OK, I may be drunk, but I am positive that the scary rabbit is not from the Flying Circus, but the Holy Grail.

Break out the Holy Hand Grenades! :rofl: :rofl:

It's probably the best site I've ever seen..

:grumpy: I still have to see the movie!, so I don't know.
Somebody told me about the website and I even enjoyed it without seeing the movie

The teacher doesn't die in the movie, he only dies in the website!
