Tim Travers and the Time Traveler's Paradox

It's obvious to me now that all the 10 star reviews are quite suspect and clearly from an alternate reality. Even being generous, you couldn't ever give this film more than about an 8 out of 10. So fanboys or paid shills? Who knows.

There isn't much need to go into details since other negative reviewers have covered things well enough, so I'll just say that they are pretty much spot on. Oh well.

Apparently going back in time and killing your younger self _doesn't_ wipe you out of existence but breaks something fundamental about the nature of reality. I learned this while attending a screening at deadCenter Film Festival 24. Once freed from the constraints of The Paradox, Tim proceeds to use the time machine as more of a Tim Travers factory, producing many Tim Travers who each attempt to forge their own path with their own new experiences. This is confusing and disrupting to everyone else and indeed to reality itself which proceeds to become more and more chaotic. It was a crazy ride which I quite enjoyed.

Got to watch the premier last night in San Jose and it was so fun to watch. Felicia day is great as always when she is on the screen she steals the scene. There were lots of laughs and fun characters . Sam was great at playing so many versions of himself and was great to see the character have the same idea I would have had being multiple versions of myself in one room😉 after the movie the cast did a Q & A and were hilarious and fun to listen to. I wish them the best with this movie and hope more people get to watch it. I'd like the opportunity to see it again myself and take some friends too.

A truly enjoyable movie, that keeps you off balance (and seriously amused) from the very start, because it is difficult to anticipate moment-to-moment. The main scientist character is unusual and gets explored in ways one wouldn't get to explore if it were not for there being so many of him. Sometimes time-travel/multi-universe stuff can be irritating, but not so here, maybe because it is not a tool to achieve something but the thing that is attempted to be understood, and that keeps the mystery and plot going, all the while you can't decide whether you are rooting for the mad scientist(s) to succeed or to be stopped.

The premise was awesome, but the movie failed in nearly every way to capitalize on it.

The characters are all irredeemably unlikable. Joel McHale and Felicia Day are wasted.

The screenwriter suffers from the most limited vocabulary I've ever heard.

The whole auto-masterbatory-homo-clone-orgy was the lowest of all possible hanging fruit.

The ending is unearned and pretentious; nothing indicates that the character has grown or changed for the better - at least not the one left in charge.

I laughed twice during the entire film. While I wish I could get my money back, I really wish I could time travel to before I watched this awful film.
