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 Unknown.
Why the archive makes this assessment (spoilers)
Confirmed 8/10: Black Alice is dematerialised, freed 200 years later into a post-apocalyptic future, learns his own movement triggered the nuclear disaster, and is sent back to the moment he left to avert it. Displacement and the attempt to rewrite history drive the story.
Technological hologram stasis carries Black Alice into the future and he finds a way back; the consulted fuller plot still does not explain the backward-travel mechanism.

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: 39.90 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.
