Why the archive makes this assessment (spoilers)
Confirmed 5/10: the TARDIS brings the Doctor to 1999 San Francisco, the Master's attempt to use the Eye of Harmony threatens Earth, and time reverts a few minutes to undo Grace and Lee's deaths. Time travel is the premise and resolution, while the middle is a present-day chase.
The TARDIS time machine and reversal of time are integral to the film’s resolution.

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: 64.92 base × 40.0% weighting. Letterboxd counts and available averages supplied by the user on 2026-10-19. Revenue remains unreported or unverified, not a confirmed zero. Do not reject solely on the Titan cutoff while footprint data is incomplete.
Partial inputs flag incomplete source metadata. Provisional weighting flags a time-travel assessment that remains uncertain; it receives no additional confidence penalty.
