As said in another message, for faster-than-light, the science exist, not the 
technology, so it is "good" sci-fi. For time travel, there is no open 
science, so it is: CIA/NSA-fi, (they know how to, but they have some 
practical problems with woodooo's tonton macoutes or their friends:-). 

You can class this in the bad "sci-fi" lot, with no science support. (My 
opinion: time is not a dimension, so time travel is nothing more than a play 
word).
