"How would you like to be rich?"
In this episode of Journey Through Sci-Fi, we explore two very different takes on complex time travel.
First we discuss Back to the Future Part II (1989), the ambitious sequel that expands the trilogy's time-travel rules with alternate timelines and intersecting events.
Then we look at Primer (2004), Shane Carruth's famously intricate indie sci-fi film about engineers who accidentally invent time travel — and quickly lose control of the timeline.
Together these films show how time travel stories can evolve from blockbuster adventure into some of the most complex puzzles in science-fiction cinema.
Journey Through Sci-Fi explores the history of science-fiction cinema one subgenre at a time.
Follow the show for deep dives into sci-fi classics, cult favourites and the ideas that shaped the genre.
