Tim Travers and the Time Traveler's Paradox

This fast-paced thrill ride is as funny as it is mind-bending; who knew living out the time traveler's paradox could be so much fun? Don't blink or you'll miss great moments and belly laughs. And yet, it's not a light-hearted treatment. The issues explored are as deep as self-hatred (and love), along with a big bang of science and science fiction. Excellent performances by the entire cast highlight the film's warmth and humanity amid a truly bizarre set of circumstances. Neither pure sci-fi, nor comedy, nor gore, but an artful blending of genres and themes that will challenge you to stay buckled up until the end.

It's hard to get the combo of sci-fi and comedy right, especially when you are trying to be truthful to the source material. This movie strikes a balance between being scientifically accurate in its dialogue and making sure you laugh along the way. Time travel isn't exactly a proven scientific fact, but the director did go as far as having an MIT professor write up an actual equation for the theoretical time travel in the movies plot and included it in the movie!

Just when you think Tim Travers has delivered it's most outrageous moment, it sneaks up and delivers an even more outrageous moment that makes the last one look tame. The story progresses quickly, leaving you blindsided by how this TARDIS-style train wreck is unfolding.

If you are looking for a comedy that leaves you in stitches, look no further than Tim Travers & the Time Travelers Paradox!

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.

The core of this movie and the short is the same. A tight 16 minutes has been streeeeeetch out for essentially the same plot points but with a going nowhere podcast, a director hitman insert with such bad acting I almost shut the movie of.

A literal circle jerk was the one extra laugh this got from me, a cheap one.

I wanted more, got less.

I just saw this film at cinequest film festival. It is a fast-paced movie with lots of laughs and interesting scientific talk too if you follow the discussion about the paradox. There is lot of killing in this film but it is done in an interesting manner and not just gratuitous. The effects of buildings exploding and the universe dividing are really well done and enhance the enjoyability of the film. The main actor, Samuel Dunning, did an amazing job playing more multiple roles than one can count. We had the filmmaker there and he let us know this was all done on an amazingly low budget and in an unbelievably short time.
