Universal Pictures, MGM

Time travel has been a wish that mankind has had ever since the first caveman tripped and fell on that one rock that they didn’t see. We all want to be able to either rectify the mistakes of the past or look toward the future to prepare for what’s next. Putting aside whether or not it is scientifically possible to travel through time, the next question is, “How would you do it?”

Pop culture has created several fictional methods to accomplish time travel, from the “plausible on the surface” all the way up to “the movie only had five bucks left in its budget, shut up” in terms of possibilities and options. With all of these options, several have their advantages and drawbacks, so which one would you dare to try?

Here is a list of time travel options that movies, TV, and comics have provided for you to choose at your own risk.
