Paradox (2016)

best movie i've ever seen.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I wish they'd mention somewhere this is based on 11 A.M. or Yeolhansi the Korean sci-fi film which in my opinion was far superior.Over-all it's a fun film and I liked the changes they made to the storyline but again the original is fantastic!

Interesting premise. It could have been a better movie if it weren't written by a 12 year old. I stopped watching and wrote this review when an adult character said 'para-thingy' and a supposedly intelligent 'scientist' explained the 'para-thingy' as fate. At least pretend to make an effort to be sci-fi, or don't write like a middle school cheerleader failing basic math. The scientist, shouts at a supposedly tough guy who says para-thingy, 'this stuff is hard!' When explaining a paradox. Minimal effort, zero thought and no character development.

This movie, like my summary, is taken from elsewhere, without acknowledging that earlier creative mind. The paradox of time travel were fictionalized in 1941 by Robert Heinlein, in his novella, By His Bootstraps. Too bad the producer of the movie did not honor Heinlein when lifting the core story elements. (Also, missing is a nod to Agatha Christie's And Then There Wa None later made as Ten Little Indians).Paradox is a good story mix of the above. However, the writing is a bit weak and the acting a bit thin. The twist at then end is nice.Oh, I took the summary from Michel Legrand, Marilyn Bergman and Alan Bergman's The Windmills of Your Mind . . , the theme song for The Thomas Crown Affair.

Right from the start I knew this film wouldn't be great. Clues were the truckloads of unnecessary f-words, and the fact that the "scientists" were nothing of the sort. They were all supposed to be young and brilliant MIT students but they looked and behaved more like the thugs you'd expect to encounter in a back alley at 3 in the morning. Every one of them had a despicable personality, so I didn't particularly care what happened to them. I guessed who was behind the gas mask (why a gas mask? There was no gas) about five minutes in. And the tropes would have been right at home in an I-Know-What-You- Did-Last-Summer-type movie. The killer looking as mechanical as possible, slashing away without mercy or logic. The girl character getting hot and lowering the top half of her coveralls so that we can all get a good look at her boobs in her white tank top, though the rest of the characters (all male), are perfectly comfortable keeping their tops on. The characters, despite their supposed brilliance, constantly splitting up and turning their backs to doorways, and never thinking, hey maybe the killer is a double of one of us from another time period, which was obvious to me from the get go.And then, the female character confused me, because she looked over 40 years old, but I got the impression that the guy who was supposed to be her boyfriend was about 28. And her eyes had these giant bags underneath and she constantly looked like she was squinting, which I found irritating. That last bit is superficial, but it really annoyed me.In short, the movie was more teenage-slasher than time-travel paradox.
