The Science Fiction Horror and Fantasy Film Review
Alternate Timelines concerns itself with alternate possibilities of how the present may have transpired. These differ from Alternate History Films, which are concerned itself with alternate outcomes of historical events. Alternate Timelines take place on a personal level and tell how the events of an individual’s life may have transpired differently had a crucial event been changed or they made a different decision at some point in the past.
There are also various stories that show individual pasts changed as a result of time travel. Also popular particularly on tv have been Mirror Universe stories that show dark and very different versions of familiar characters.
In the 2020s, the Multiverse idea has gained a good deal of traction – for effective purposes, the multiverse is no more than an Alternate Timeline that is regarded as a physical place and the universe is regarded as having an infinitely possible number of such timelines. In the late 2010s, theidea of the multiverse has been co-opted by the superhero film where it essentially means a different take on established characters.
Appealing and well told fantasy in which a couple are each individually offered the opportunity to go back in time and change the circumstances that led to their breakup
Mini-series based on the works of Terry Pratchett that feels as though it is made, designed and cast by people who haven’t even read the books
It is nice to see Bryan Singer regain his form after several years lull. The plot is nothing world-shattering but it is nice to see a character-driven X-Men, while Singer delivers the superheroics with a cheer-out loud elan that most of the sequels missed by a wide margin
Enjoyable sequel to Jumanji and actually a much superior film in the hands of Jon Favreau. This expands the idea of the Jumanji boardgame that brings things from a jungle to life to a space theme
