What I mean is, if time travel was a real thing, which movie(s) do you think portray it the most authentically, both the method used to time travel and the consequences that result? This has always been an enjoyable sub-genre of sci-fi for me - even the bad time travel movie I find at least somewhat entertaining.

I thought Looper did a pretty good job of creating a believable form of time travel.

致命倒数 (Reset) was more an action film, but it did use time travel in an interesting way.

I know it's a TV miniseries, but I have to say The Langoliers. The idea of travelling back in time and how the past is just empty and lifeless was intriguing.

The Langoliers was truly awful I thought. The only interesting aspect of it to me was as you said, them being stuck in time. The thought of “time” being eaten by giant Pac-men I thought was a bit silly. |

Planet of the Apes (1968). Not the evolved apes aspect, but by travelling at the speed of light and returning to Earth.

Say what you will about the movie itself, but it all checks out. Especially when you factor in Pattinson’s Neil.

Are there any movies where someone travels back in time, only to be left floating in open space because the planet moved?

I vaguely remember one movie where the rotation of the Earth was taken into account, but not the rotation around the sun OR the movement of the entire Solar system. I can't remember which movie it was though.

I think Crichton's Timeline (2003) did a good job with some interesting twists.

If someone were to move through time other than the normal progression, there are all sorts of things that would happen that AFAIK have never even been addressed in movies/stories. You couldn't just go back, say, an hour and still be in the same location spatially. Even a few seconds travel either way could put you miles away either out in space or embedded in a mountain. And that says nothing of the physiological changes that would occur given each process inthe body depends on normal progression of events...one after another.
