Tim Travers & the Time Travelers Paradox (2024) User Reviews

Fun, Quirky & Touching Film

[vnxdmbnhk · 9/10 · 12 March 2024]

Just the right amount of goofy banter, delving into both hard science fiction concepts, and philosophizing of creation myths, and delivering ridiculous and witty interactions between characters. Lead Sam Dunning does a great job commanding the screen with a truly shocking variety of concepts to showcase, Felicia Day was hilarious and ate up every scene she was in, and writer/director/actor Stimson Snead had me cackling at every turn. The additional cast was also full of top notch talent- super fun to see the likes of Joel McHale, Keith David, and Danny Trejo joining the cast. Was able to attend the premiere at the Cinequest Uplift Film Festival and clearly the whole cast and crew had a blast making the film. Truly, could not tell where each next step in the film would come from, and was constantly surprised at the left turns it took every chance it got.

Wild ride in the near future

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.

Time travel made even more interesting

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.

Such a fun movie!

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.

Time travel shenanigans at its best

[yjsprj · 10/10 · 10 March 2024]

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!

Don't step out for popcorn...

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.

New Favorite!

[jocelynffarris · 10/10 · 18 April 2024]

I went into this movie without knowing much about it at all, and I was absolutely blown clear out of the water watching this. I was lucky enough to watch its premiere in San Jose and it was such an incredible experience. This movie has something for everyone. It's got a very well-thought-out sci-fi plot, enough comedy to have your stomach hurting, and an insanely talented cast. I realized after watching it that I had found one of my new favorite films. I could not stop raving about this film for weeks after seeing it, I truly would love the chance to be able to have my friends and family watch this as I think they would love it just like I did.

Hardest I've laughed in years!

[toddmgreer · 10/10 · 27 March 2024]

I saw this at a midweek Cinequest showing, with no idea what to expect. It was the funniest movie I've seen in a very long time. This brilliant movie surprised me more times than any other movie I can remember, and each surprise upped the hilarity.

Samuel Dunning plays the titular Tim Travers, who is genius enough to make a time machine, psychotic enough to break the universe just to satisfy his curiosity, and human enough for us to care about.

I saw this movie because a friend recommended it to me, and because Felicia Day was in it. Felicia did a superb job as Delilah. She made all of her scenes brighter, she helped us understand and connect with Tim, and she brought just the right amount of sass.

Without the comedy, it would have been a good science fiction movie, with innovative ideas, solid acting, and unexpected twists. With the brilliant comedy, it was elevated into one of the best movies I've ever seen, and I want to see it again soon.

I'm going to have to find out what else this movie's writer/director Stimson Snead has done. Tim Travers & the Time Traveler's Paradox is that goo.

A funny and nerdy watch, for me anyways

[n_klimoski · 9/10 · 15 April 2024]

Tim Travers was not what I expected when I saw it, and it was refreshing. It did not offer too much fluff. It jumped right in and went for it from the start. It had a wicked sense of humor from the start, and got more and more crazy (in a good way) as the movie went along. I was laughing along the whole way. Besides the humor, it did offer some interesting time theory ideas, which the nerd in me enjoyed as well. The actors were all good in their roles, some even playing characters that they normally don't play, which was a fun surprise. But one has to give a shout out to Samuel Dunning. He did quite well acting, no matter what the story called for. Overall, I think the movie was a fun watch. My main judgements of a movie is if I left the theater in a good mood with money well spent and whether I would see the movie again. And the answer was yes to both.
