Time travel is a common staple of scifi movies. Most of these movies fall into three categories: fixed timelines, dynamic timelines, and multiverse. This infographic illustrates and explains the three categories beautifully. Click to enlarge:
What did you think of the infographic? What other movies used these types of time travel?

The Star Trek series have used the multiple timelines before. It's the most fun, although a fixed timeline done right is really amazing.
This is no time to talk about time! We don't have the time!
It seems like time travel could change the future if one is not careful, like Back to the Future or The Butterfly Effect. I love time travel movies of any kind.
