Time Out Of Mind − The Often Shaky Logic of the 10 Best Time-Travel Movies (Including Looper)

The shaky logic of 'Looper' and 9 other time-travel movies

If time travel is ever to be invented, wouldn’t we already have had evidence of it? The question is enough to give grammarians seizures, let alone filmmakers. As Jeff Daniels’s world-weary time-traveling crime lord says in Rian Johnson's Looper, “this time travel shit fries your brain like an egg.” And the film, out this Friday, is far from the most brain-frying cinematic treatment of time travel.

Looper Time TravelTo help make sense of a genre riddled with paradoxes, I contacted Tim Maudlin, philosophy professor at NYU, who has written extensively on time travel, and quickly rattled off my preconceptions on the matter.* According to Maudlin, there are two types of time-travel narratives in fiction. The most common, which he calls “inconsistent time-travel stories,” are about a traveler who goes back in time and changes the course of events, à la Marty McFly. To Maudlin, movies of this type—Looper included—“literally make no sense.” If the character goes back in time, then there would never have been a past without him.

In “consistent” time-travel stories, however, the time traveler was always a part of the events he affected (e.g. Twelve Monkeys, or Robert Heinlein’s classic mindfuck of a short story, —All You Zombies—, in which the main character is both his own mother and father). These are Moebius strip narratives. There is no first time around or second time around. There is just one past that contains the traveler. Stories of this type, Maudlin says, “are more like clever crossword puzzles, where all the various threads fit together in a satisfactory way. They appeal to the logician rather than the sentimentalist.”

With that distinction in mind, we can determine just how logical Looper and the other nine best time-travel movies are. (Another paradox: the more logical the treatment of time travel, the more it makes your brain hurt.)

Looper (2012)[Spoiler warning!]

Plot: Joe, a young gun-for-hire, must kill his future self or be killed, but Bruce Willis, naturally, has another outcome in mind.

Consistent? No. We see a whole timeline in which Young Joe kills Old Joe, then lives out the rest of his life before coming up with a plan to stop Young Joe from killing the now Old Joe. If he succeeds, he would never have been able to live the life he lived theretofore. And the ending raises an even bigger paradox.

Back to the Future (1985)

Plot: Marty McFly, a kid with a mad-scientist friend and a loser dad, travels from 1985 to 1955 in a souped-up DeLorean, fools around with his hot teenage mom, inspires his dad to grow a pair and knock Biff the bully out, then returns to 1985.

Consistent? No. If Marty goes back in time, then there would never have been a version of the past without him. The other thing is, for Marty to still be born after his disruption of his parents’ courtship, his mom and pop need to time the moment of fertilization to the microsecond. But that’s more a question of probability (and staying power) than logic.

Back to the Future II (1989)

Plot: Marty travels to the future, buys a sports almanac, which falls in the hands of elder Biff, who travels to 1955, and gives it to his younger self, thus helping Biff become a sports-gambling gazillionaire, and transforming Hill Valley into a seedy dystopia. Marty goes back to 1955 to destroy the almanac, without interfering with his previous time-traveling exploits from the first movie.

Consistent? No. In the words of Doc Brown, writers Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale weren’t “thinking fourth dimensionally.” Narratively, it’s fantastic. Logically, it’s all over the place, where multiple timelines coexist and alternate.

Back to the Future III (1990)

Plot: After reading that Doc, who traveled to 1885, died in a duel against Biff’s gunslinging ancestor, Marty finds the DeLorean Doc had hidden away and goes back to save him.

Consistent: Of course not. As with the first two, the multiple timelines are irreconcilable paradoxes. Plus, as several obsessive geek sites have pointed out, when Marty finds the DeLorean and goes back to 1885 with it, there should by all logic be two DeLoreans in 1885.

The Terminator (1984)

Plot: In a last-ditch effort to win the future war against mankind, Skynet’s intelligent machines send the Terminator back to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor and prevent her from giving birth to John Connor, who would grow up to lead the successful human-led Resistance. But the Resistance sends Kyle Reese back to protect Sarah. Overstepping his duties, he impregnates her, and she gives birth to… John Connor!

Consistent? Yes. It’s circular, chicken-or-egg logic, but it holds together.

    I think Picasso would like your blog. Thanks for sharing. http://www.segmation.wordpress.com

  • Kent says:

    I disagree with the logic that there would need to be a 'receiving' time travel device to make time travel possible - after all, the smarties from the future could design something that travels in either direction, right? - but it still is a fascinating topic. And honestly, you left out the very best of all the time travel movies....Austin Powers. Yeah, baby!

    • Julian Sancton says:

      Hey Kent,
      Thanks for reading. Prof. Maudlin didn't say that a "receiving" machine would be necessary for time travel. As you say, future people could well invent a form of time travel that just plops people into
      the past naked as the day they were born. But in that case, unless future people use time responsibly and discreetly—unlikely, considering the fortune and glory at stake—we could reasonably expect to have seen evidence of time travelers throughout human history. Maudlin's pretty elegant supposition is that time travel might require a "receiver" as well as a "transmitter," in which case time can only be traveled starting from the moment the technology is developed
      onward.
      As for Austin Powers, there's a great bit in "The Spy Who Shagged Me" in which Austin and Basil Exposition urge the audience not to think about the logic of time travel and just enjoy themselves. (It's the equivalent of Jeff Daniels's admonition in Looper.) But, as far as I can tell, the paradox that makes Austin go crosseyed is not all that much of a paradox: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8w95xIdH4o

      • Andy says:

        Actually why would you need a receiver and a transmitter anyway? Couldn't you hypothetically (when thinking about technology in the future, you can be as imaginative as you want) come up with a machine that doesn't just SEND you forward/backwards in time, but TAKES you forward/backward in time, meaning the machine comes WITH you, similar to H.G. Wells "Time Machine" (yes I know its supposed to be italicized, but idk how)

  • SD says:

    The one that demonstrated time travel the best for me is Time Crimes.

    As you have mentioned above, if you go back in time then the first time through the "present" has to reflect all of the subsequent changes made when you travel. This film did it perfectly.

  • Ken says:

    It must be awesome to work in Philosophy. You can just decide what is and isn't possible just based on your own intuition. That sounds way cooler than the real world.

  • Rebecca says:

    Ken, no, the issue here isn't intuition. It is formal logic and reasoning. And the ability to recognize the actual issue and fallacy in an argument is something many more people need.

  • Johnny Phan says:

    How can you make all these conclusions without a single mention of quantum mechanics?

  • Matt says:

    *SPOILER ALERT* I disagree with your thoughts on consistency. Having alternate timelines doesn't make something inconsistent if you think of the multiverse theory. Like in Back to the Future 2, that alternate timeline of Biff ruling will keep happening no matter what, all Marty can do is change his future for the better. Looper made NO sense at all even with the multiverse aspect because they tossed that aside. When that other guy doesn't end his loop the mafia disfigures him but not kill him so the future doesn't have a paradox. By chopping off his limbs and stuff did that though, how could he RUN in the first place if he had no legs? Then there is the suicide at the end, if he killed himself then and there then nothing in the movie would have happened in first place up to a point because the future self would have been dead. Multiverse can't be applied here because by him disappearing that means there is only one timeline so basically all those people were killed by a man that never existed, brilliant. Also let's go back to Terminator, had it succeeded in killing Sarah Conner then it never would have been destroyed in that factory so that hand that was saved would never been found thus Skynet would never be created so basically, Skynet sent back a terminator that would have prevented itself from existed if they succeeded and I would certainly hope that the thing that tries to exterminate all mankind could trace its origins just about 50 years ago!

    • Chris says:

      Terminator 2 is inconsistent. In the original Terminator, it was never revealed how the Terminator was created. Terminator 2 naturally creates a new timeline (one where the Terminator never existed). In doing so, it created a paradox. If the Terminator never existed, Kyle Reese would never be sent back in time, so John Connor would never have lived. There's a whole Cracked article on how the Terminator series doesn't make any sense. The first movie is self-contained, but still...how can John have sent Kyle Reese back in time in the first place if John needed Kyle to exist? Definitely a chicken or egg mind****. After that, they just gave up on consistency. But hey, even the first film is based on the idea that you can change the present by sending someone to the past.

  • Anonymous says:

    The logic in looper is that the person who goes into the past is supposed to be killed on arrival so no changes in the timeline occur. However when a person escapes he creates a blank slate of the present that cause his present to be equal with his historical version meaning any and all actions of the historical version overwrite the original (due to the new infinite possibilities) but without completely erasing the remnants of the past of the original which creates a reflexive action where character x = character x and all bodily damage done accurs to the older version. Now this is sound logic... in an insane asylum because three problems. One (SPOILER) in the end he kills himself which creates a paradox that the organization was trying to stop with the loop closing in the first place so at that moment all logic implodes with the universe. Two This reflexive state isnt possible unless whatever happens to the original happens to the over write because x(1) cannot = x(2) if x(2) does not equal x(1). Three this story is based on loops and loops have to be the same every time because a circle stays the same distance from the center at all times so that means that the stiry cant change unless the center moves. The circle cant move its center because it has to stay away from it so how did the center move and when. Also an added measure as a counter point on how looper can be corect. if his best friend got hacked up that means that he will be sent back in time mangled and probably killed by the overwrite easily cause he cant escape meaning he lives a full life healthy and when he is sent back he sings a little tune and escapes and then it repeats. Maybe the circles are bigger then one trip to the past ... maybe then in some way it may be slightly plausible.

  • brian says:

    One Theory on the terminator Was John Conner didn't necessarily have to be fathered by Kyle Reese originally. Let's say there was time where Sarah was bever visited by a Terminator So she likely would have gotten married and had a son that she named John. But then again it could be be just a chicken or egg thing and really there is no beginning.

  • I loved up to you will receive performed proper here. The cartoon is tasteful, your authored subject matter stylish. nevertheless, you command get bought an edginess over that you wish be handing over the following. sick unquestionably come more formerly once more since exactly the same just about very continuously within case you shield this hike.

  • Bob says:

    There are two types of time travel, Terminator/DBZ and Back to the Future.

    Terminator is straight forward, and it's what happened in Looper. Terminator turns out differently each time. It's a different timeline each time. As with Looper, when we see him shoot Willis, he becomes Willis. Then, as Willis, he stops the loop, and changes it. Therefore both happened, but Willis can never get back to his timeline.

    BTTF logic allows changes, with their own logic withstanding, ie "Bubble Universes". Marty has to be born, as he is in the past, therefore every possible universe where he isn't born is destroyed, so that throws out your "millisecond" thing. BTTF is a little bit of Terminator logic, as Marty can't go back to wimpy dad future. To an outside observer, there were always 2 Marty's in 1955, but to him, as he never bumped into himself (the door doesn't count), there was one, then two.

    The *only* flaw with BTTF's timetravel is why did Doc Brown say "Who dressed you up like that?" when he first saw Marty in 1885? It was in Doc Brown's past, so he should remember it.

    • Bob says:

      More: (Spoiler for Looper)

      ***********SPOILER BELOW**************
      The ending can't work, as Shooting himself won't change Bruce Willis, as Bruce Willis is from another timeline.

    • Loi says:

      Terminator follows a single timeline theory, NOT a DBZ theory. It's a single and consistent timeline, nothing referred to in the past as according to the limited understanding of people in the future does not occur.

      There are plenty of issues with Looper. My main one is that Joe goes off and lives a life and returns to be shot by himself. The same Joe goes on to live the same life except this time he fights back and goes voluntarily? He should have done that the first time, what intervention happened? It can't be the Rainmaker, as HE caused the Rainmaker. It abuses the two main timeline theories.

      BTTF does the same thing, if he creates a new universe then he should not fade as things happen. There is far more than that one flaw you mention.

      @Julian Sancton - You completely ignore the multiverse theory, and only talk about consistent vs inconsistent single timeline theories. Primer uses the multiverse theory, and is consistent with it. Judging by your standards it is NOT consistent with a single timeline theory.

      • Bob says:

        Terminator can't follow a single time line. Judgement Day in the original movie was August 29, 1997. Then it was July 25, 2004 after Terminator 2. Then it was sometime in 2011 as stated in the TV series. Therefore, different time lines.

        Looper's logic there is following Terminator logic, as in Bruce Willis broke the cycle, and caused an alternate timeline. I've only seen this movie the once, and a while ago, but I think it's said that the Rainmaker's mother was killed, as was going to happen normally. When Young Willis (Gordon-Levitt too lazy to google it now) went there, he basically stopped the mother from getting killed, so "The Rainmaker" happened less angrily.

        BTTF is a little different, as he fades because he brings it back to normal. They just change gradually, as Marty is a non-linear temporal event, it takes him longer to be effected.

        Also, I didn't know I needed to talk about quantum mechanics here, to prove the point. I guess next time I give directions, I should explain the internal combustion engine, and how to turn the wheel to steer.

  • Steve says:

    A couple of things about Looper to me. It was never that the future bad guys couldn't kill. It was that they couldn't dispose of the bodies. Therefore, they would never had to have sent anyone back to be
    murdered. Just kill them "future" and send the body back for disposal. Hmmmm? But then no movie I guess. Also they never had to mutilate the one looper to get his older self to come to them to be murdered. Just kill the younger and the older never existed by their same logic.

    I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I'd absolutely love to write some articles for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please shoot me an email if interested. Thanks!
    Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all. Nevertheless think about if you added some great photos or videos to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this blog could definitely be one of the very best in its niche. Very good blog!
    Fascinating blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog stand out. Please let me know where you got your theme. With thanks
    Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with?

    I'm looking to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
    Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Chrome. I'm
    not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you know. The style and design look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon. Kudos
    With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a lot of exclusive content I've
    either written myself or outsourced but it seems
    a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement.

    Do you know any solutions to help reduce content from being ripped off?
    I'd genuinely appreciate it.
    Have you ever thought about creating an e-book or guest authoring on other blogs? I have a blog based upon on the same information you discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information. I know my readers would enjoy your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to send me an e mail.
    Hey there! Someone in my Facebook group shared this site with us so I came to take a look. I'm definitely loving the information.
    I'm book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Great blog and fantastic design and style.
    Very good blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers? I'm
    planning to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .
    . Any tips? Appreciate it!
    My developer is trying to convince me to move to .
    net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.

    But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on various websites for about a year and am worried about switching
    to another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.
    net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress
    posts into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

    Does your site have a contact page? I'm having problems locating it but, I'd like to
    shoot you an e-mail. I've got some creative ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it grow over time.
    It's a pity you don't have a donate button! I'd certainly donate
    to this outstanding blog! I guess for now i'll settle for book-marking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to fresh updates and will share this website with my Facebook group. Chat soon!
    Greetings from Los angeles! I'm bored to tears at work
    so I decided to browse your website on my iphone during lunch break.

    I enjoy the knowledge you provide here and can't wait to take a look when I get home. I'm amazed at how fast your blog
    loaded on my mobile .. I'm not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, very good blog!
    Hiya! I know this is kinda off topic however I'd figured I'd ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa? My website addresses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free to send me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Awesome blog by the way!
    Right now it looks like Expression Engine is the top blogging platform out there right now. (from what I've
    read) Is that what you're using on your blog?
    Exceptional post but I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this subject? I'd be very grateful if
    you could elaborate a little bit more. Cheers!
    Good day! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you knew
    where I could find a captcha plugin for my comment form?
    I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having trouble finding one?
    Thanks a lot!
    When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several
    e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can
    remove people from that service? Thank you!
    Hello there! This is my first visit to your blog! We are a group of volunteers and starting a new project in a
    community in the same niche. Your blog provided us beneficial information to work on.
    You have done a extraordinary job!
    Hey! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog
    platform are you using for this site? I'm getting fed up of WordPress because I've had issues with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
    Howdy! This post could not be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this page to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!
    Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something informative to read?
    Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
    Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
    I was curious if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
    Hi there, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam responses? If so how do you reduce it, any plugin or anything you can suggest? I get so much lately it's driving me crazy so any support is very much appreciated.

    This design is wicked! You definitely know how to
    keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well,
    almost...HaHa!) Wonderful job. I really enjoyed
    what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
    Too cool!
    I'm really enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It's a very
    easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant
    for me to come here and visit more often.
    Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Outstanding work!

    Hey! I could have sworn I've been to this site before but after checking through some of the post I realized it's new to me.

    Anyhow, I'm definitely glad I found it and I'll be book-marking and checking back often!

    Hi! Would you mind if I share your blog with my twitter group?
    There's a lot of folks that I think would really appreciate your content. Please let me know. Thank you
    Hello, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, terrific blog!
    Wonderful blog! I found it while browsing on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I've been trying for
    a while but I never seem to get there! Cheers
    Good day! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established
    blog. Is it difficult to set up your own blog?
    I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I'm thinking about making my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Cheers
    Hey! Quick question that's totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile
    friendly? My website looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4.

    I'm trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this problem. If you have any suggestions, please share. With thanks!
    I’m not that much of a internet reader to be honest but your sites really nice, keep it up! I'll go ahead and bookmark your site to
    come back later. Cheers
    I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you design this website yourself or did
    you hire someone to do it for you? Plz respond as I'm looking to construct my own blog and would like to know where u got this from. many thanks
    Incredible! This blog looks just like my old one! It's on a entirely different
    subject but it has pretty much the same layout and design.

    Wonderful choice of colors!
    Hey just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know
    a few of the pictures aren't loading correctly. I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue.

    Hey are using WordPress for your blog platform? I'm new to the
    blog world but I'm trying to get started and set up my own. Do you require any html coding expertise to make your own blog? Any help would be really appreciated!
    Howdy this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I'm
    starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I
    wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many
    months of hard work due to no data backup.

    Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?
    Howdy! Do you use Twitter? I'd like to follow you if that would be okay. I'm definitely enjoying your blog and
    look forward to new posts.
    Hi! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers?
    I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.
    Any tips?
    Hi there! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with SEO?
    I'm trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I'm not seeing very good success.
    If you know of any please share. Thanks!
    I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get setup? I'm assuming having a blog like
    yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very internet smart so I'm not
    100% sure. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Kudos
    Hmm is anyone else having problems with the pictures on
    this blog loading? I'm trying to determine if its a problem on my end or if it's the
    blog. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm not sure exactly why but this site is loading incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end? I'll check back
    later and see if the problem still exists.
