Before you choose

What kind of time-travel story is this?

Time travel drives much of the story.

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

Why the archive makes this assessment (spoilers)

Retain 8/10. Altered history underlies the investigation, and discovering the intervention leads to a journey back to restore history and the climactic conflict. The extended police-procedural and action sections share the focus, but the temporal mechanism redefines their stakes and resolution.

A magical Korean artifact enables intervention in 1909 that creates the alternate 2009.

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: 73.53 base × 71.2% weighting.

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