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.

This movie has a definitive existential aspect to it. If we created a device to transcend time, should we actually use it? If we choose to do so, what is the detriments that could arise from it? For there is no doubt of a cause and effect. Does the evitable effect outweigh the initial cause? We all want to change the world in some way but, should what is and was, be just that? I just want to add, yes there are some holes and there is the mellow drama but, it still asks those hypotheticals.

I enjoyed it. Some choices could have been made once they knew the concept of who stayed in became the observers would have saved their main problem. The ending left me annoyed. Overall a good watch.

A deeply silly time-travel weepie buoyed solely by the soapy warmth of its performances

Aporia needn’t stay one step ahead of smart viewers to keep us intrigued and off-balance, glued to how these flawed, well-intentioned characters use their irrevocable power and face the consequences.

Inverse

Light on the thrills and keen on contemplation, but it’s nice to encounter a multiverse that actually makes you think once in a while.

Josh Kupecki

Austin Chronicle

It’s a film that considers that life may be less about what you have or can get, and more about what you are willing to give up.

Rated: 3.5/5

Drink in the Movies

Aporia is unnotable, it has little to say, and less to do. Its characters are unremarkable as are its consequences, which is a real pity for what is quite a nifty premise

Rated: 35/100

Film Frenzy

Swallowing this development doesn’t take a suspension of disbelief -- it requires a complete severing with both an ax and a chainsaw. But those who can get past the mental hemorrhaging will be treated to a thoughtful and even startling drama.

Rated: 3/4
