The blog for Peter T. Chattaway, film critic, journalist, religion junkie, etc. Not all posts will be film-related, but film will always be just around the corner.
That I am! See my essay on the first two Terminator movies here. That said, my problem with the inconsistency in The Lake House has more to do with how it affects the movie's uncertain tone. The science doesn't really matter to me.
FWIW, one of my favorite time-travel movies is The Final Countdown (1980), which hews to the old-fashioned closed-loop approach to time-travel stories, and which sends the characters back and forth through time via a purely natural phenomenon that is not influenced by human factors.
Peter, has you ever found a time-travel movie to be scientifically sound? :)
ReplyDeletePete's anal about his time travel.

Oh, I remeber that film. I remember really liking that one.
