Page "Parallel universe (fiction)" Paragraph 70

More recent films that have explicitly explored parallel universes are: the 2000 film The Family Man, the 2001 cult movie Donnie Darko, which deals with what it terms a " tangent universe " that erupts from our own universe ; Super Mario Bros. ( 1993 ) has the eponymous heroes cross over into a parallel universe ruled by humanoids who evolved from dinosaurs ; The One ( 2001 ) starring Jet Li, in which there is a complex system of realities in which Jet Li's character is a police officer in one universe and a serial killer in another, who travels to other universes to destroy versions of himself, so that he can take their energy ; and FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions ( 2004 ), the main character runs away from a totalitarian nightmare, and he enters into a cyber-afterlife alternative reality.

The most recent Star Trek film ( 2009 ) had a character create an alternate reality by traveling back in time, thereby rebooting the series ' complicated continuity.
