Timeline: The Movie

This movie I thought was very because I liked how it involved scientists actually discovering time travel in a way that is realistic. Scientists were trying to send objects from one place to another, by what they called 'faxing'. This was not intentionally supposed to turn into time travel; they just wanted objects to be sent to different places, in the same time. One time, they decided to try a real person, which worked. They did this multiple times, when the man never reappeared. They used multiple cameras, and when they checked them, they realized the man was not only sent to the wrong spot, but to the wrong time. This, I thought, was very cool. Somehow or another, they found out that the machine used, created a wormhole, which was opened by the machine and sent the man back to the past. The scientists gathered information that if the time machine was used multiple times, one time while travelling, you could obtain damage to your bones and kill you. They do not mention this to the group of people they recruited to travel back in time to retrieve the man. In this group of people, is his son. Another interesting part of this movie was that, to get back to their present time, they had these little gadgets called 'markers'. They wore them around their necks and when they wanted to return home, they would press the button. The only set-back was that the markers had time limits, and when the time went out.... they could not get back. Also, you could not get back if you lost it. When the group of people gets there, they realize that it is right before the French attack the English in the fourteenth century. This means there is a lot of war and the majority of the people from the future are killed. They spend most of the movie trying to get the man who was sent back in the first place, and trying to get back to the present. Along the way, they discover things that were in ruins in the future, and saw them in their actual time. I thought that this was very cool and that it would be something really awesome to see. This could be potentially a reason to create and use time travel, which is to get more information about our past. I think that this movie demonstrates a way that time travel could actually happen realistically, which is by an accidental wormhole. We all know how weird this Universe can be and all the weird things that it does and crazy stuff it has.
