Hi all,

I was wondering what people thought of how time travel was presented in The Time Traveler’s Wife, and other movies for that matter. Does Hollywood give a favourable/realistic representation? Are there any films that have done time travel justive?

I’m a journalist in China (China Daily) putting together a piece about the fascination with time travel in the West. Comments are much appreciated - I want public input.

Best wishes,  
Nicola Davison

It got one thing right: when you time travel, you are nude. 😍
