Before you choose

What kind of time-travel story is this?

Temporal events and their consequences run throughout the story.

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

Why the archive makes this assessment (spoilers)

The brothers' discovery of bounded loops and efforts to escape their resets drive the cult mystery.

An unseen entity governs bounded regions that repeatedly reset at different intervals; literal loops and temporal distortions clearly qualify. Causal Loop takes precedence over the cosmic origin of the repeating intervals.

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: 88.84 base × 84.8% weighting.

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