The only terminator movies worth watching were made before she was born.

    Luckily we have this nifty technology that allows you to watch movies that came out years ago. It's called "time travel".

    The best part about time travel is that if it's ever invented then it already has been.

    Many versions of fictional time travel that allow backwards travel suggest that the travel cannot happen further back than the initial use of the time machine.

    Perhaps my favorite example of this (in terms of narrative, if not logic) is a time machine that is turned on, only to immediately receive a note saying "turn it off RIGHT NOW."

    That's actually what Terminator is going to be about. There was a recent interview with the director, James Cameron, where he mentioned something about time travel. He didn't want to spoil it before it releases though.

    I'm excited to see it in theaters when it comes out!
