Time+Travel (TT) stories can be very interesting with astounding implications about the nature of reality.

Donnie+Darko is either another interesting time-travel and portal story, or it's about the protagonist going into another timeline to meet his ending. While several people remember him, others don't know much, or anything about him, by the end of the movie.

A decade later in the movie Source+Code, Jake_Gyllenhaal again as the protagonist. His consciousness is eventually fully shifted over into an alternate world (in the local and cosmic simulation) where he survives, fully intact. The portal link into a parallel or alternate world is through a supercomputer, or a quantum computer.
