      Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel--Esoteric

      I really don't know how many esoteric comments this movie has drawn. I can't understand almost all of these comments. Here are a few simple excerpts:

      1. "From the perspective of hallucination memory, I still believe in parallel universes. Most people's lives move forward in a linear fashion.

      choose

      I know it's science fiction, but I didn't expect it to be in this form. They were chatting in a bar, and they actually time traveled in the toilet, a bit like a horror movie plot. But the funniest thing is that when they chose the weapon, the fat man actually chose red wine to open the knife. I can't help but think of the movie that Tony Leung and Jacky Cheung starred in, fighting with the boss. The two of them chose a western knife and a western fork. I seriously doubt this. The director or...

      Not for sci-fi fans

      baffling

      To describe this film in four words is inexplicable, inexplicable beginning, inexplicable end, and inexplicable process in the middle. It's more of a daydream, thinking about what counts. There's no hope for you to find logic here. It is different from those sci-fi movies like "Murder in Time and Space" that purely explore the issue of time. This is a comedy movie in a sci-fi coat, a bit similar to "Zombie Shaun", a sci-fi movie, a zombie movie, etc. It's just a Under the guise, comedy is the...

      'Hot Questions About Time Travel': This Film Unpacks the Framework of a Sci-Fi Movie

      This very entertaining movie has the potential to become a classic. In the eyes of an experienced audience, it is a reference to the classics; and an audience who is not prepared for a movie such as "Star Wars" can also regard it as a beneficial advance for science fiction movies. And a person who likes physics and has studied it doesn't have to look at it with a telescope and examine the logic in it - because it is interesting, and its handling of physics concepts is flexible and humorous,...

    Movie plot

    Ray, Toby, and Pat are three hopeless guys. There is no light in the future. They make a living by doing part-time jobs, and they often stay together to keep warm.

    Atypical Sci-Fi

    Unlike those science fiction films in the general sense, "Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel" does not rely on special effects to build a completely imaginary future world. Realistic narrative methods tell this unreal science fiction story. Jarivik said: "Actually, we fantasize for a while every day, either we fantasize about a one-night stand with a big star, or we fantasize about 5 million wins. The fantasy thing is like...

    A feast of group drama

    It can be said that "Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel" covers itself very well-the most common scenes; a few seemingly inconspicuous dialogues-all this makes people think that this movie is no big deal of. Compared with its title, the film is indeed a bit "strange". However, according to the director, he wants such a sense of gap most.

    British humor

    Although it is a science fiction film, the film is very frugal in the use of CG animation, and the frugality is almost negligible. In addition to budgetary constraints, the director himself did it deliberately. Jarivik said: "I don't want my film to be CGI animation after it is shot, nor do I want the audience to remember CG animation after watching the movie. Therefore, I use special effects very sparingly. I think it's a science...

    Brilliant Commentary

    This is a science fiction movie with typical British black humor without extensive use of special effects. Although the sci-fi elements in the film are lines, the shock it brings us is no less than that of popcorn movies built with hundreds of millions of dollars.

    Movie quotes

    • Ray: Little bit weird, but ummm... turns out everybody in the future, American.

    • Ray: Chaos theory is basically the idea that tiny things can have huge consequences. So because you delayed me from going through there, all of the little things that I was going to do have been delayed subsequently, and that has a knock-on effect - which can totally change the future.

      Cassie: So... So wait, that means you're going to drink your pint a little bit later, which means... You're going to go to the bathroom a little bit later... My God Ray, you're right! That's terrible, we're all doomed!

    • [first lines]

      Ray: Time travel. It'll turn your brain into spaghetti if you let it. Best not to think about it. Best just to get on with the job in hand. Which is destroying the enemy before they're even born and have a chance to threaten us. We're expecting any resistance to be light, because the ancestors of our enemies have yet to evolve any thumbs... or indeed spines. But that does not change the fact that they may one day evolve into a species that may pose a threat to us. And for that reason, we are going to rain down a fiery death upon them that will turn the surface of their planet into a radioactive desert! Because we are the planetary peace corps! And that is what we do! Now, are you nappy-wearing motherfuckers ready to lock and load, and *get it on*?
