    Alt reality movies recommendations

    I'm basically looking for movies about alternate realities. I water TiMER yesterday, and even though it's technically a sci-fi-romantic comedy, I loved it. Basically I'm looking for movies like this, the invention of lying, and other such movies. Movies where everything is basically the same as in our world, but there's something slightly different.


    Thoughts?

    You should just watch Sliders up until about three quarters into season 3.

    Can watch Fringe too. The alternate reality stuff doesn't become really apparent until the 2nd season though.

    I didn't really think it was great, but the One with Jet Li is kinda alt reality(I think?). Without giving too much away, Jet Li travels universes/realities to kill other versions of himself. It's a lot of action and stuff mostly.

    Sorry if that's the type of Alt Reality movie you were looking for.

    The One. Iirc there are like 100 different universes and in each a version of himself exists. Every time he kills one he becomes stronger. Wasn't horrific for an action flick.

    I just watched TiMER yesterday, it was so good.

    I was suprised I had never heard of it. Only reason I watched it was because it had Emma Caufield in it, and I love her.

    I recommend it for anyone who wants to watch a good romantic-comedy, and is sick of Jennifer Aniston, and Katherine Heigle...

    Shit son, I just remembered three:

    Timecrimes - It's in Spanish but an excellent film.
    The Machinist - Christian Bale did a hella job, check it out.
    Triangle - Another wtf kind of movie, it's decent.

    Deep Impact, 5th element, Idiocracy, 2012.
    all those movies have black presidents! Can't get any more alternate reality than that.
    Danny Glover was a pretty awesome president in Deep Impact as well.
