Err... get a DVD of inception, rip it, and watch it on your mobile phone. Its a very good movie to watch on a small screen, in fact this can be said for all of Nolan's movies, prestige, dark night, memento and the others
No one else feels HD is a burden? I mean its not like you can see the matrix code in the rain when Neo is fighting a ton of Smiths during the Revolutions Climax, if anything the sound channels explode on anything more than a 2.1 but thats it... during the "asatoma sat ghamaya" but the HD is not the same as a theater experience (watched with eyes 2 inches away from a 32" erm... ur gonna prolly hate this part... Plasma, trying desperately to catch it). You do see the Matrix code in the rain if you caught it at IMAX btw.
I mean come on, dont you guiz love the way xvid manages to fit your humongous BD collection onto nifty little portable hard discs?
seriously, there is this strange notion nowadays that the quality of the encoding matters more than the quality of the content in the vids. This is a post-youtube phenomenon, or youtube wouldnt have happened. And you wouldnt have "HD only" music channels. I mean if a producer had a choice between shooting on a 4K camera and hiring two more good actors, it would make sense to go for the two more good actors amirite?

anyhoo, anyone got a list of interesting time based movies where time travel behaves in a unique way than normal time travel works in movies (lets just assume this is like The Time Machine or the Back to the Future series, or HP3, or the Terminator series). Bunch of movies repeat the same time period over and over again, groundhog day and source code are examples, not talking about these either.

Inception is one, where the time lasts longer depending on which level in the dream world you are... ie in the third world its like 10 years for 20 minutes of real time. Actually, strictly speaking, there is no time travel in Inception, its just the way time behaves, im not even talking about non-linear timeliness, like Pulp Fiction.

Primer, you are not allowed to mess with stuff till the duration of the time travel, you are caught in a box

anything else ?

"Spider Forest" may be...I'm still confused if it was time travel at all or what...

"Kate and Leopold"

"Deja Vu" would fall in same league as Source Code

Ah ha..."12 Monkeys" a rather different take on time travel

"Donnie Darko" simple story and complex explanation

"Il Mare" a rather very subtle take on time travel

This list seems to be good,

@Anorion: Well, if you have watched BTTF, Source Code and Primer, you have actually covered one of the best time travel movies till date.
Don't know, why you discussed Inception in this genre, since it's definitely NOT a Time travel movie, just like you said later.

There are many other time travel related movies, and also the movies where time behaves different than usual, some of which I know about. And their would be a lot more, of which I don't know about.


Kate & Leopold
Deja Vu
The Butterfly Effect
The Time Traveler's Wife
The Lake House

Two more movies which I found Awesome, are:

TimeCrimes (Non-English, but worthy of watch).

ok so time based movies can be put into two categories, one where timelines change every time time travel occurs (back to the future, terminator, star trek, source code, the butterfly effect etc). In these movies parallel universe burst into existence at the point of time travel... the other kind where there is a linear absolute timeline within the framework of which people go forwards and backwards in time (the time machine, HP3, donnie darko, 12 monkeys, Bill and Ted etc).

Im looking for movies where time behaves in ways other than the ones mentioned. One example to give an idea of what im talking about is the scene in HP7ptII where Harry is in the limbo version of Kings Cross... the time he spends there is time spent nowhere. This is pretty similar to the train station scene in the Matrix revolutions, again the railway station is used as some kind of symbolism for being in between times... where Neo is sitting at a train station on the way to the machine mainframe. Now the Matrix... time spent in the Matrix is equal to the time spent outside the Matrix.

Inception was an example because time behaves differently in this movie. It also behaves differently in Gunda, where day changes to night between punches, but that is another story. Primer is different in the way that you are stuck in limbo during the time travel. I seriously cant think of any other examples.

What got me started were these great infographics showing how time works in Inception. The first one more than the second.

Have to agree, nice Infographic on the Time Travel concept. Well, if you are doing research on them, I would suggest looking at other time line inforgraphic too:

This is f*ckin' nuts. Captain America and Final Destination 5 seem to have released today and I can't spot a single listing for Captain American anywhere. Final Destination, too, is in limited theaters. Delhi folks, what's your status? :x

Although Bookmyshow.com shows listings in Pune, Bangalore, and Hyderabad.

^Multiplexes are not releasing the movies. Profit sharing issue as happened with Planet of The Apes.

But, I found PVR listed the show time. Phoenix mills and Mulund...

One question: Why does IMDB shows release dates as 29th July 2011 in India for Captain America :confused:

Yea, hoping too. It looks like a good movie. And after a long time seeing Robert D. Nero in a full action role. Will be good on full 70mm.

Same here. Not watchable on multi-plex. But like the usual retards they are, they advertised it in the papers, on the website. Just that when you choose the it was not available for booking. POTA is now showing availability though.

Yea, war is on.

This weeks two releases are not being shown by PVR line up. Not sure why they advertise it. Totally misleading customers.

It was released, the vendors refuse to show it.
