Before you choose
What kind of time-travel story is this?
Temporal events and their consequences run throughout the story.
Meets the archive’s time-travel criteria. The mechanism is classified as Consciousness transfer.
Why the archive makes this assessment (spoilers)
Repeated consciousness jumps between 1999 and 2019 structure the friends' discoveries, attempts to exploit future knowledge, combat across eras and the climax unfolding in both periods. Retain 9/10 for pervasive temporal events and consequences; inconsistent causal rules do not make time travel incidental.
Sneezing sends the teenagers’ consciousness into their older selves twenty years later.

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: 73.58 base × 84.8% weighting.
Partial inputs flag incomplete source metadata. Provisional weighting flags a time-travel assessment that remains uncertain; it receives no additional confidence penalty.
