replies: text: I've seen the movie, but I've never been to Chicago, probably never will go there, even with time travel agencies. How do you know that I'm supposed know "that it's clearly based in a futuristic chicago", and not any other nondescript city? --2003:C6:370A:9AA3:E8CF:BBC4:549A:25D8 (talk) 16:15, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

message: Might I propose that we add a list of the characters that die, i could do it but I would need to know the characters last names (I don't bother to stick around after the credits).09:11, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I realize this was posted a while ago (by someone who didn't sign their name), but I don't think a list of who dies is relevant or noteworthy to the film (as technically, everyone ceased to exist at the climax, and as the film's resolution created a grandfather paradox, nullified the events of the entire film.)

thread_title:  Too much 

message: I question the need to have a section on 'Scientific and logical inaccuracies' regarding a work of science fiction.  The comment regarding the inaccuracy of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and zero tolerance is definitely a subjective conclusion.  The Uncertainty Principle does clearly state at the quantum level that the outcome of even an ideal measurement of a system is not deterministic.  This does imply that absolute tolerance in any given system is not attainable.  There is a good explanation of this conclusion in 'Common Sense of Science' by Jacob Bronowski.

replies: text: One thing that always bothered me: paint and bullets are introduced into the time line. Wouldn't they matter, or at least be capable of mattering, as much as butterfly? (I guess the difference is that the butterfly had a reproductive life ahead of it. Bradbury was a poet, after all.) 2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:7C0C:8988:B863:F86D (talk) 14:37, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Scientific and logical inaccuracies 

message: I removed part of a sentence that said that it's conceivable that the butterfly flew away from the eruption. How the heck is a butterfly supposed to escape from an erupting volcano. Besides, when it was last shown at the end of the movie, it was flying towards the volcano. 218.215.148.66 06:22, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Bringing a butterfly *forward in time* that was seconds away from being incinerated couldn't have any effect on anything in the past. The other major failure of the film is all three safari parties shown travel back to the exact same time and location but don't meet each other, yet when Ryer is sent back alone he meets the second safari group.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.232.94.33 (talk) 06:06, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Butterfly 

message: ...to let Hyams, et al, butcher his short story? Granted, it wasn't that good in the first place (how can the death of a single butterfly change contemporary politics, while leaving everything else unaltered?), but Bradbury (like Ellison) has always been touchy about adaptations.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Yeah, sure. From the fact that this is mentioned and the fact that the budget was slashed, I infer that this is supposed to mean: "Previsualization software was used for final rendering" - correct? 2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:7C0C:8988:B863:F86D (talk) 14:32, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Previsualization software was used" 

message: After their return from a Time Safari Charles Hatton congratulates the clients saying:
"Today you stood shoulder to shoulder with Columbus discovering America, Armstrong stepping on the moon, Brubaker landing on Mars."
Director Peter Hyams shot 1978 the film "Capricorn One" where an astronaut with the name Brubaker should land on Mars. 46.223.163.128 (talk) 16:55, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
