This show absolutely - if for nothing else but the casting that made you actually believe past/present/future characters were the same person.

Dark was absolutely incredible, one of the best pieces of media I've ever seen. Start to finish such a good story.

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I feel like I missed a ton of details on my first watchthrough, but still enjoyed it a ton.

I'm curious if anyone has given it a second go, and if it added or removed from the experience?

[–] ettyblatant@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago (4 children)

I have given it a 2nd-3rd-4th go, each time with a new friend who hasn't yet seen it. And, no joke, I still pick up on a TON of details I've missed before. It's just... so good

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Not only do I agree, but also recommend looking up supplementary info, like the companion website while rewatching to help connect dots.

12 Monkeys.

No other "time travel" movie needs apply.

The first 2 seasons of Travellers were really good. The 3rd was fine. They had to wrap up the story after getting cancelled and, as usual with that sort of thing, it felt a bit strained and rushed.

Really enjoyed Looper. It leaves just enough to the imagination to be super interesting. that scene with what they do to the man in the past really stuck with me.

Technically not a time travel movie but it has a few elements of it: Interstellar (2014)

The ultimate mindfuck time paradox movie is for me "Predestination"

Future Man (2017-2020) is silly and fun, but actually surprisingly smart with its handling of time travel.

It's far from my favourite but since most others have been mentioned I'll give Kung Fury a shout. It's hilarious.

Coherence came out in 2013, and the movie is phenomenal. Such an awesome take on the whole time theory.

+1 was another very good one, and more fun than mine bending, but does a great job tackling it.

I'm currently watching Dark, but enjoying it for sure.

[–] Pazintach@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Predestination and 12 Monkeys.

The Time Traveler's Wife is an interesting twist on things, including free will. I haven't seen the series version.

Steins;Gate, the anime.

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1910272/

I'll be rewatching it soon.

Run Lola Run. It’s either time travel or an exploration in quantum immortality.

Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut, but that's a book.

It's not my favorite ever, but I'm currently watching a weird Canadian, 30 year old-woman-finding-herself comedy drama that is based around a magical therapist who uses time travel in his sessions. It's called Being Erica and it's on Hulu. I can't stop watching it.

Primer and Dark are great. I also really enjoyed Tenet.

Tv show: Tripped a great watch, low-ish budget but very well done. Starts off as kind of a stoner comedy but gets way deeper, while still being fun. Also it's more of a dimension travel show rather than time travel.

Movie: Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel probably my favourite time travel movie, heaps of fun and the actors & story are great.

Movie: Primer a pretty smart movie, I think the directors (who also starred) were scientists so the story is quite grounded in how time travel would (likely) work out.

Movie: Time Lapse a gripping movie about a camera that can show the future, mostly filmed in one house. A good watch.

Time Trap (2017). It’s a bit campy and a fun watch.

Assassin 33 A.D: Black Easter.

It's a Christian time travel movie where terrorists go back in time to murder Jesus before he can be crucified (therefore preventing Christianity from ever existing) and an atheist skeptic scientist has to go back in time to rescue Jesus, and also rescue his own faith.

The movie is crazy and I love it.
