Time travel movies are a thrilling part of the sci-fi genre, but some of these films completely rewrite the rules and tropes when it comes to telling a unique story. Sci-fi is a broad genre of film that lends itself to innovation and creativity. Because of the variety of stories that fit within this setting, with all of time and space being an option, and a vast variety of creative options around technology, characters, plots and much more, these movies can be almost anything.
Posts The unique element of Donnie Darko's time travel story is the idea that time travel is kind of an accident of nature. One primary timeline exists, where events play out as intended, but occasionally, time goes off course. This creates a tangent universe, but the tangent universe can't survive for long. Instead, after it runs its course, the tangent universe collapses in on itself, and time resolves, with everything reverting to normal before the incident.
