Stephen Romei The Australian This is a well-made, thought-provoking movie set in the near future. It’s the sort of science fiction that feels closer to science than fiction. Rated: 3/5 Aug 5, 2023 Full Review Joshua Polanski Boston Hassle lack of a political imagination Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Susan Granger SSG Syndicate Despite its intriguing premise about ageism and buying 'time,' Boris Kunz's dystopian thriller soon becomes formulaic and forgettable. Rated: 4/10 Aug 24, 2023 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media This is an entertaining and thoughtful dystopian sci-fi about aging and the vast chasm between the very rich and the very poor. Rated: 4/5 Aug 16, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews In its more serious moments warns us how revolting things can get when the people of science greedily sell their souls for capitalistic gain. Rated: B- Aug 2, 2023 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine Paradise transcends the thriller and sci-fi genre to invite us to immerse ourselves in philosophical ethics and confront fundamental questions about human nature...

Matt E Great concept with a promising start and intriguing storyline that gets a little lost and doesn’t quite hit the mark Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review Carlos T Filme: Paraíso Assistido: 10-01-25 Elenco: @gizem_xe @kostjaullmann_official @marlene.tanczik @numanoffice Corinna Kirchhoff, @iris_berben @lorna_ishema Modelo: #ficção #suspense #drama Duração: 2h Ano: 2023 Minha opinião: O filme; “O Preço do Amanhã” onde o dinheiro é substituído por tempo. Aqui também é tempo, mas as pessoas vendem o seu tempo de vida. Um filme bem diferente do Preço do Amanhã. Este é uma mistura também de Repo Men, um filme que tem caçadores de órgãos, quando não era pago, aqui lembra este filme, no seu corre, corre. Um filme que não é de Hollywood, mas bem executado e construído. As interpretações são boas. Temos Max e Elena que o seu apartamento pega fogo, e o seguro não cobre e para pagar os estragos, Elena tem que dar 40 anos de sua vida. Mas tudo isso foi armação Olivia dona do complexo que transfere a vida para a outra pessoa. Max sequestra por engano a filha de Olivia pensando que é ela, para devolver os 40 anos que ela tomou de Elena. E nisso temos um grupo de rebeldes que são contra essa venda de anos. E sempre tenta sabotar a ação da companhia que cresce. Onde a vida dos mais vulneráveis, o seu tempo é vendido para os mais abastados. E o filme toca na questão da imigração ilegal. Ao final Elena tira os 40 anos da vida da filha da Olivia e ela não devolve para sua filha. Max se separa de Elena e entra no grupo da rebelião. Roteiro e enredo um filme sem aquele orçamento de Hollywood, mas que foi bem construído. Boas interpretações. Vale apena assistir? Sim Nota: 7 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/25 Full Review conan e Stupid story wasting my time at first it was good but from the half and ending is stupidity. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Igor S The premisse of this movie is really good. So is the delivery, for the most part. I was really engaged in the dramatic consequences. But then, near the end, they decide to make a certain decision that takes from everything else that was done up until that point, just to make room for a sequel. And that's where they lost me and left me frustrated, because of the wasted potential and impact this movie could have had. I still recommend it tho, even if for the first half of the movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/16/24 Full Review Thomas S I got right into this. A simple but interesting storyline, tense and exciting in parts. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/06/24 Full Review Deise T Gostei da ideia do filme e conseguiu me prender o tempo todo, só fiquei desiludida com o final porque deixou-me confusa. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
