Before you choose
What kind of time-travel story is this?
Time travel is an important premise, with limited sustained exploration. This assessment is provisional.
Meets the archive’s time-travel criteria. The mechanism is classified as Cosmic.
Why the archive makes this assessment (spoilers)
Retain provisional 5/10. A triple supernova opens a rift in space and time at the family's desert home, aliens beckon them through it, and they reunite on an alien world heading for a domed city. Reviews call the plot muddled, so the share of temporal rather than spatial displacement stays unclear.
A supernova-associated space-time rift transports the family outside its original era.

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: 36.50 base × 40.0% weighting.
Partial inputs flag incomplete source metadata. Provisional weighting flags a time-travel assessment that remains uncertain; it receives no additional confidence penalty.
