Why the archive makes this assessment (spoilers)

Confirmed 7/10: in 2204, Foster's squad of resistant soldiers travels back to 2004 to stop the first infection, but Dalton's mutiny strands Foster in the Antarctic, where scientists are studying the meteorites that carry the bacteria. The mission into the past drives the film, though the action is mutiny and survival.

Travelers are sent back to the present to prevent disaster; the source does not identify the cause.

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: 28.37 base × 59.2% weighting.

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