The Movie Timeline es una gigantesca cronología de todo lo que ha ocurrido en la Historia desde el principio de los tiempos hasta el futuro año 865.427.810. Pero no recoge la Historia oficial y archiconocida, sino la de aquellos acontecimientos que han ocurrido en las películas.

Así comienza:

In the beginning… God created the heavens and the earth (The Bible)

A long time ago… Luke Skywalker and Han Solo lead a rebellion against the evil empire(Star Wars)

4,000,000BC Aliens leave monolith on Earth (2001: A Space Odyssey)

1,000,000BC Loana faces dinosaurs to be with Tumak, a caveman banished from his savage tribe, and then from her gentler group of cave people (One Million Years BC). San Dimas, Ca – A phone box briefly arrives from the future containing Bill S Preston and Ted ‘Theodore’ Logan (Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure)

80,000BC A tribe of early man searches for fire (Quest For Fire)

8000BC A spaceship lands in the North African desert and takes a caveboy (Stargate)

3400BC The Scorpion King comes to power (The Scorpion King)

Y así termina:

3460 Colonel Ron Brent arrives from 2109 and meets a tribe of primitive humans (Return to the Planet of the Apes)

3955 There’s a planet, full of apes, looking suspiciously familiar… George Taylor detonates a bomb and destroys Earth (Planet of the Apes; Beneath the Planet of the Apes)

4001 The oceans freeze over, mankind becomes extinct and other intelligent life emerges (AI: Artificial Intelligence)

23,391 House Atreides takes over stewardship of planet Arrakis (Dune)

40,000 Barbarella takes on the evil, er, Duran Duran (Barbarella)

802,701 Alexander Hartdegen meets the Eloi and the Morlocks, is tended by Mara, following a long stretch of time travel (The Time Machine)

2,008,000 Wizards Blackwolf and Avatar battle for the fate of the post-apocalyptic Earth (Wizards)

30,000,000 Earth frozen by an eclipse, intelligent life wiped out, day and night now the same (The Time Machine)

865,427,810 Alexander Hartdegen briefly arrives from 802,701 (The Time Machine)

Resulta curioso saber que Star Wars está fechado algunos millones de años antes de que los hombres apareciesen en la Tierra, y asusta ver que sólo quedan 1.500 años para El Planeta de los Simios.
