This is wonderful attempt with a very low budget movie. The Paradox is clear and we see no loophole. Clearly executed. Don't know why it is very low rated in IMDB.Some area the acting was very low with CG. But that is ok, this is low budget movie. We can't expect a more realistic CG work. It is all about the mindset.The story is good, the twists are all awesome. Great and good movie to watch.

A group of young scientist are performing time travel experiments. They are introduced to us by filmdom's worst stake-out. Most of the action takes place in an underground secret facility that the NSA knows nothing about even though they have someone in deep cover. One man Landay (Malik Yoba) doesn't have a record before 2007, not hard to figure out half the plot from that tidbit.The title refers to the paradox of time travel and changing the past etc. Schrödinger's Cat committed suicide during the film. When a killer emerges, everyone wants to live at any cost or paradox created.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. Zoe Bell tank top cleavage. "Time Lapse" was better.

it was moderately interesting, though constantly dragged down by some very shaky acting. it follows the similar trope of other time travel movies by showing certain scenes and sequences that apparently don't make sense but will make sense later on in the film. A macguffin appears in the form of a video camera that records everything and goes back in time, so the characters can see their immediate future selves, and even repeat the dialogue they see themselves use later on, constantly remarking things like "I knew I'd say that" or "I can't believe I got to say that" It abruptly turns into a "find the killer" type thing as a random killer goes around killing them. At some point as well, shenanigans involving time travel abuse to exploit the stock market and become rich gets involved, and there's a very minor twist at the very end that isn't very important or shocking unless you're for some reason absolutely devoted to the plot and the characters to a degree highly unusual for a 2 hour movie

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.
