some of ideas of science fiction movies can be consider a scientific theory that can be proven like the movie called "BACK TO THE FUTURE 2" about that space and time continuum?

Some of the ideas in science fiction may spark ideas for scientific theories, but in science, no theory can be proven. A theory is only accepted as long as it has failed to be disproven. (We can only disprove things, and not prove things).

Usually the theories in Science Fiction movies are based on science fact. I say usually as there are many things that people just "make up" to make the movie interesting (I love Sci-fi movies by the way).
Granted things like time travel is a bit far fetched... right now... but who knows what the furture will hold for us say in another 200-500 years. Look at what's happened with the television and telephone in just a hundred years! I'm sure there were many tales told way back when about how the TV would never be more than just a box full of glass tubes and weighed almost as much as the family car. Now we can carry them in one hand! The Sci-Fi stories of wrist watch radios/TVs is almost a reality now!

Sure, except that any science fiction movie has the problem that it was made by producers, not scientists.

It looks like your question was distorted by the space-time continium!!
