Before you choose

What kind of time-travel story is this?

Time travel is an important premise, with limited sustained exploration.

Meets the archive’s time-travel criteria. The mechanism is classified as Mechanical.

Why the archive makes this assessment (spoilers)

Confirmed 6/10: villains from 2043 travel back to kill the future judge as a schoolboy in 1993, and future police follow to protect him. The journey sets up the entire film, but the 1993 story is school cover, bullying and super-powered battles rather than sustained temporal consequences.

An experimental time machine sends criminals and pursuing police from 2043 to 1993.

How Titan works

Titan combines the archive’s quality, audience and legacy base with the significance of time travel. It is an index, not a score out of 100, and is distinct from the FMV archive’s scoring model.

Titan = base × [0.20 + 0.80 × (time-travel score ÷ 10)²]

This film: 53.45 base × 48.8% weighting.

Partial inputs flag incomplete source metadata. Provisional weighting flags a time-travel assessment that remains uncertain; it receives no additional confidence penalty.
