I am talking about gadgets we see in science fiction movies that obey the laws of physics of our universe and could theoretically be constructed, barring the limitations of materials, energy and time faced by our civilization at the moment.

    Depends on how far you want to stretch the “barring the limitations of materials and energy” bit, but there are several working theories of gravity drives and things similar to ‘warp drive’ out there. They just have massive energy consumption requirements it would require materials so dense that they approach carrying around a black hole with you. And they would go very, very fast, but not actually faster than light.
