Time And Relative Dimensions In Space
Films (series to be added later) involving time travel or other kinds of temporal manipulation or/and alternative dimensions. Mostly sorted by release year. ** Still in process. **
A disappointing fact is that most of this films use time travel or/and dimension travel once to set up the film (e.g. "The Terminator" and "Back to the Future") instead of continuously through the film (e.g. "Time Bandits" and "Groundhog Day"). I will try to provide a description of how a film uses relative concepts.
