Time Travel Movies
Time travel movies is one of my favorite sci-fi genre. The very concept of going forward or backward in the time fascinates me. If you are here, chances are you are either intrigued by the concept of time travel and/or you too enjoy watching sci-fi movies about time travel.
Some of these movies are hard to understand when you watch them the first time. If you are confused about the story plotline of one of these movies, you are not alone. There are a lot of films made on time-travel so I have only covered the films made in English (or dubbed in English). These movies are either well known or have good quality and presents interesting and substantial plot line.
