Cara 2nd time seeing it, first review. Great concept, certainly gives the viewer plenty to consider where morality is concerned. Acting was very good and Judy Greer was superb in her role. Highly recommend. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/16/23 Full Review Grayson S Terrible sci-fi writing that fails to be convincing. Also why is Judy Greer crying in every scene. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/25 Full Review Kevin L A solid piece of sci-fi drama, "Aporia" uses something of curveball on the time machine concept to change the past, only to have those changes influence the present in ways they could not foresee. Of course, this leads to the main themes/ideas of the movie. There's moral condundrums and the emotional toll their actions have on the main characters. If you could stop s/one in the past to prevent a tragic outcome, would you do it, and how far would you go? Then, how would you deal w/ unforeseen ramifications that could also be traumatic? The acting if strong in general, lead by Judy Greer as a grieving widow who is trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy and a happy family life. Also good are Gathegi and Maadi as the husband/father Mal to Greer's mother role, and their friend who works with Mal to create the machine which is largely a Macguffin for the plot. Nice work by director/writer Jared Moshé and the movie's crew. 3.2 stars Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/06/25 Full Review rashid W A surprising good time travel type movie, more based around the consequences than the science. Light but well made. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Kyle M Time travel’s always a cautious risk, and this seems to be more strictive in the approach than most as thoroughly discussed with care whilst the usage remains constant on differential maturity, stirred and coasted on the emotional performances to captivate ambiguous satisfaction that feels more polished regarding the subject. (B) Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/25 Full Review C M As Judy Greer has established herself as the queen of Indie films, she lives up to the title in this quasi-science fiction project. It was a near perfect Kafkaesque little film shot in a part of Los Angeles that is rarely exploited as a film location in and around Los Angeles. It was a treat to see a different view of the greater L.A. area. The thesis and results hold up to most space time continuum speculation. My only problem with it was the scientists didn't do enough research on the characters they were affecting and how many people and events their attempt to right past wrongs would be changed by their actions. "It's A Wonderful Life" paved the way for speculative sci-fi and how a single person missing from a timeline could affect so many others. In spite of the magic wand waving this film handled the issue, it was still very good. As a family melodrama it worked. As a light-weight science photoplay it worked. The cliff hanger at the end also worked. I would recommend it to date night-ers and sci-fi lovers. This film serves it up with just desserts. Sorry for the dad pun.
