Contrary to the usual “best time-travel lists” all over the internet, this one is a continually evolving one, and films will keep getting added. So do drop a comment with your favourite flick on Barry's website if you don’t see it here. Some of the classics may not be in the list yet, but it’s just a matter of time. All the titles are ranked based on the BaTTR Score (Barry’s Time Travel Review Score), a rating mechanism created to particularly rate movies based on time travel. In a nutshell, here are the BaTTR Score Parameters:
Time Travel Mechanics – How the time travel happens and to what extent the mechanics is woven into the plot.
Repercussion – What the purpose of the time-travel is and what are the in-film complexities because of it.
Base Coherence – How well the timelines were executed in the film. This is not part of the overall score. Instead, we have …
Coherence – This is the Base Coherence recalculated, keeping in mind the Repercussion in the film. A film that doesn’t have complexity is bound to have a coherent timeline. An outstanding time-travel film should have solid consistency despite complex cascading events.
Rewatchability – How good was the film in terms of characters, plot, acting, etc. Basically, how likely it is that you would watch it again.
Go to the source to read calculations for each movie.
