Time travel will exist, you just won't be able to interact with what you see in the same way you would a video game, movie set or civil war reenactment. In every movie about time travel, the scientist is interacting/manipulating/corrupting the shit out of the time stream and jeopardizes his own existence. You need to think of it in less direct terms and think in multiple dimensions with massive energy sources. You are outside of that time stream. Outside means you can see in, study, hypothesize but not interfere.
It's reaching inside and popping that bubble that makes it impossible.
That may be possible in the future. A device that just projects images and sounds form the past without the ability to actually touch and interact. But this is beyond space travel technology in my opinion - far beyond our technological level.
I guess if you had a warp drive and a really good telescope just go x light years away and you can see x years backwards. At the very least you could catch past radio transmissions.
