Naaa.
Everyone knows the movie is a veil that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
Déjà Vu is in fact a side effect of being flashed by MiB.
In the not so distant future, visualizing and "walking through" the past -- ala the movie Deja Vu (but minus the wormholes) -- will become a reality. It was the lack of even a rudimentary version of this that made the Reddit sleuthing so hopeless, with most media having zero context, location, or even time taken, that metadata not available.
But imagine photo synth/streetview with a time slider: Thousands of pictures and overlaid videos time synchronized and placed into a scene. Such a tool could be incredible for such investigations.
Odd, nobody has mentioned the movie Deja Vu in any comments, here or at the site...
Isn't this a similar premise, except the movie was simplified so as not to overwhelm and confuse normal movie-goers with quantum physics?
Swordfish; if nothing for the totally cool monitor setup he had at Gabriel's place.
Alien; the original- the next couple of movies in the series were okay but the first I think is a classic in form of technology and all that good stuff. If you watch it, it may seem a bit old-school for our time, but for their time that was pretty cool! Finding a solution to space travel at light-year speed? Come-on- that's awesome.
Stargate; another one for space travel, but overall it was kind of corny- I just liked how the Egyptians, or whoever, discovered a way to transport across galaxies.
Enemy of the State; cool NSA tech stuff.
Deja Vu; the ability to go back in time only four days earlier or less... I like their setup and how they explained the plausibility of the technology actually coming to fruition.
