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 Nonlinear temporal perception.
Why the archive makes this assessment (spoilers)
Louise's nonlinear awareness supplies future information vital to the resolution and reframes her personal story.
Learning the alien language gives Louise non-linear awareness of her own future, whose information affects present events; no physical time machine.
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.
Partial inputs flag incomplete source metadata. Provisional weighting flags a time-travel assessment that remains uncertain; it receives no additional confidence penalty.
