But: astronauts go into space for a couple of years, and when they get back to Earth it’s two thousand years later. Sounds like time travel to me. It doesn’t matter if it was achieved with a machine designed by H.G. Wells or a theory developed by Einstein. And when I saw the movie, eleven-year-old me hadn’t read up on relativity or time dilation. 🙂 **Films in which an already-released, unrelated rock or pop song is heard in the background** 1.
