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.

Chase Hutchinson Seattle Times Most sci-fi could only hope to kill so many doubles with such verve. Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News 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. Rated: 3/5 Mar 20, 2024 Full Review Rachel Shatto MovieJawn 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. Jul 20, 2025 Full Review Ben Gibbons Screen Rant Tim Travers & the Time Traveler's Paradox is an outlandish and outrageous sci-fi adventure that pushes one idea to its absolute limits. Rated: 8/10 Jun 30, 2025 Full Review Kent Hill Film Threat Tim Travers & the Time Traveler's Paradox stands out as a testament to the power of creativity and storytelling. Rated: 7.5/10 Jun 4, 2025 Full Review Abbie Bernstein Assignment X Clever existential dark science-fiction comedy. Rated: B Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Patrick L. This movie made me download the app so I could review it. It got a little weird but I really enjoyed this movie. Very smart very funny, if you like mind bending sci fi give it watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/27/25 Full Review Stephen C Funny in 1 hour and 40 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review Tom D. 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! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review Carson K 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Magecyf F Mad science, endless clones and a time-travel paradox spiraling out of control — welcome to the wild ride of Tim Travers. Director Stimson Snead delivers a brilliantly absurd sci-fi comedy, with standout performances from rising star Samuel Dunning and scene-stealing turns by Danny Trejo and Joel McHale. Beneath the chaos and laughs lies a surprisingly deep existential core. Sometimes, you really do have to break the universe to find yourself. A cosmic, hilarious, and unexpectedly touching trip. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review James F I watched this at a festival (two, actually, it was that good!). This movie was made for the kind of money that would be jealous of a shoestring budget, but it looks like something much more expensive due to the sheer heart that went into it. Sam Dunning is a treasure, and Stimson Snead (both as actor and director) is quirky and intense. Equal parts Back to the Future, Rick & Morty, Cosmos (the Carl Sagan version) and the darkest of dark comedies, but so much more than the sum of its parts.
