Tim Travers seeks to solve the time travelers paradox. The classic thought experiment of what would happen if you killed your past self. Would it--for example--literally destroy the universe? Tim Travers, self-hating mad genius, is going to find out! Along the way, he'll piss off an international crime syndicate led by Royce (Danny Trejo), engage in a battle of wills with conspiracy theorist radio host James Bunratty (Joel McHale) and even attempt to squeeze in a date in with the dangerously unstable Delilah (Felicia Day). Tim will have to learn how to literally coexist with the worst parts of himself, before his own demons destroy him and the universe with it.

Most sci-fi could only hope to kill so many doubles with such verve. Go to Full Review

Snead’s teeny-weeny budgeted lark makes for a wild ride that consistently punches above its weight, thanks, in part, to sparkling cameos from Danny Trejo, Joel McHale (as a podcaster) and Keith David. Go to Full Review
Tim Brennan About Boulder Aug 11
Tim Travers and the Time Travelers Paradox is sophisticated, crude, sleek, occasionally plodding, and ridiculously ambitious. Just like the title, the movie itself is a paradox. Go to Full Review
Rachel Shatto MovieJawn Jul 20
The film boasts a lot of scrappy gumption. The low budget becomes apparent in the action set pieces, but there’s charm to them. It’s very apparent that the film is a labor of love, and, despite its antisocial antihero, is utterly sincere. Go to Full Review

TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch 6d Tim Travers and the Time Traveler’s Paradox struggles to deliver a coherent or engaging story. The premise of time travel and paradoxes is intriguing, but the execution falls flat. Pacing is slow, scenes are repetitive, and dialogue often feels bloated without advancing the plot. Characters are underdeveloped, making it hard to connect with their journey or care about the stakes. The film drifts into corny or absurd territory, undermining any sense of credibility, and the visuals, while functional, do not enhance the story. Attempts at suspense or clever time travel concepts are poorly realized, leaving the audience confused and disengaged. Overall, it feels like a wasted opportunity. Only general audiences curious about the concept may find minor enjoyment, but for anyone seeking a polished, thoughtful, or thrilling sci-fi adventure, this film is difficult to recommend. See more David D Oct 16 A university physics soc project with some great moments. See more Aug 14 I can admit the movie was interesting, the way watching a toddler crawl around corners to make sure you're watching their tantrum is interesting. The performances were good, the film is well shot and constructed - the problem is that evenually you figure out that this movie is the filmakers tantrun. A puerile exercise in narcissism and nihilism attempting to wrap the filmaker's ennui in a message of "accept yourself even if you are an evil person who kills without empathy and are willing to destroy the universe to prove it has no meaning." Some people will be confused by the trappings and think this is deep or brave - but it's anything but either. A silly and juvenile romp through metaphysical muck. Avoid.

Very smart very funny, if you like mind bending sci fi give it watch. See more Tom D. @TomDineen Jun 25 This was a rip roaring fun film. Smarmy and acerbic, the titular title character Tim Travers is hilarious to watch in all of his varying iterations. Don't pass up this indie comedy! See more Carson K Jun 24 absolutely hilarious. Critics don’t understand it. If you are into Deadpool you will love this. The director was at the film festival and he was a super nice guy. He has a bright future in cinema.
