Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Tss5078 The manipulation of time is my favorite form of Science Fiction, it also happens to be the most difficult to write. Alternate histories, time travel, and of course paradoxes, can very easily go from entertaining to confusing to unwatchable in the blink of an eye. There is a very fine line between explaining too little, confusing audiences, and explaining too much, hence boring them to death with the scientific stuff. Lucky for us, not only does the new Sci-Fi thriller, Paradox manage to find that line, but much like it's story, it manages to come back to it over and over again. The story seems like a rather basic one, as a group of scientist are hired by a mysterious billionaire, to create a machine for the purposes of time travel. On this day, the group is pretty confident that they have completed the machine and will be sending one member, one hour into the future. The test works perfectly, only when the man arrives an hour into the future, he finds the lab is a mess and many of his colleagues are dead, hence the paradox. Will going back to warn everyone cause what he just saw or will it prevent it? Paradox is one of those films where it isn't about the acting, any decent actor could have been cast, it's the story that matters and the story was fantastic. The way they manage to utilize the machine and equipment that you never even noticed, or how they amp up the mystery by making everyone have that one thing that could make them a possible suspect, just makes the film that much more intense. This was honestly one of my favorite movies of 2016, and believe it or not, it was Written/Directed by a completely unlikely source. After seeing this, I had to know who wrote it and to my surprise, it was Michael Hurst, a guy who until now had only written some B-horror movies and directed some Xena episodes!?! This time he tried something different and may have found his true calling. If you love science fiction and a great mystery on top of that, you won't find many films that combine the two with the ease and satisfaction of Paradox.

breed3011 I've read the reviews on here and I tend to agree with all of them - Yes, I agree with the people who criticised it AND the people who loved it.Is it low budget? YesAre the opening scenes and character exposition a little "amateur"? YesIs it poorly acted? For some of the lesser characters, perhaps.Is it a very good idea for a time travel thriller? YesHas the time travel plot been meticulously planned? Yes, Kudos!Is the overarching story line well executed? YesAre the lead actors and actresses engaging? YesDoes it make you think, even after the movie has ended? Yes - and that's bang for buck!Does it make sense? YesSo that's it - a good idea for a film with a couple of interesting characters and relationships that,based around time travel, and a good time travel plot (which is a rare thing)It didn't set the world on fire - low budget time travel films never do. Zoe Bell probably was the best of the actors - I read on here she is also a stunt woman - which makes a lot of sense - She has a great physique and the director knew how to use her skills and assets - Reminded me a little of Sigourney Weaver in Galaxy Quest! The other actors were a little forgettable, sadly.So over all - some poor performances and a slightly amateur exposition did not diminish from the stronger points of the movie, which were a good time travel synopsis that was well executed and a good performance from Zoe Bell.

whidbeydanielg This is a film about time travel, and about a mystery.It is complex, fast, and not for the lazy of mind. It is too difficult to figure out on first glance.But it is great entertainment.Of course, Zoe Bell is awesome. She's great to watch in a movie because she's a good actress, but also she was a stunt double, and exudes a sense of power that most actresses don't.You have to pay attention.It's a great evening of fun. A low-budget thriller, well written, and well acted. In a short period of time all of the actors have developed a sense of character. All are good actors, although none are familiar.and it even has some humor.Enjoy an evening of fun, challenge, and good movie making.

steffenwidmaier Personally, I can't understand all the people who gave 1/10 points. It is obviously a B movie and it wasn't in the cinemas (at least not in Germany), so it has a small audience. I e.g. just watched it on Netflix. What I think is great, is the unconventional and brave story and plot. Few movies dare to have these, these days. Nothing the less, it is exactly what I ask of a movie. I want a movie to bend reality, to create a world of dreams and make me wonder about the big things in life (not intended to sound pathetic). And Paradox did this as far as it showed me things over which I don't think too often. Having all these things in mind, I think Paradox earned the 8 points.
