Top 10 Attention Grabbing Time Travel Movies | Maimovie

If you could time travel, would you rather go to the past or the future?

Unfortunately, time travel isn’t possible, at least not with the technology that we have right now. Time is one of those things’ humans cannot control (not in terms of your daily schedule but the overall flow), and humans have long fantasized about being able to navigate through time without any limits.

We can’t change a regrettable mistake we made in the past or peek at what our future would look like, but many directors have experimented with the idea to produce movies using time travel as a tool for storytelling. From a future apocalypse to connecting with a person of the past, time travel really lets our imaginations go wild with all the ‘what if’ questions.

Today, the Maimovie AI has ranked the top 10 “attention grabbing” “time travel” movies for you to watch. Beware…because once you start watching it, time will fly. Fast forward through your day as you watch movies about time travel.

The following list was based on Maimovie on February 24, 2022, under the “attention grabbing” and “time travel” keytalks. Check out the Maimovie app or website to discover more movies and shows.
