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 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 Jim Schembri jimschembri.com No amount of Back to the Future revisits can properly brace you for the mind-twisting, resolutely fun, gloriously nonsensical shenanigans writer/director Stimson Snead unleashes here. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 1, 2025 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …if you’re looking for the next big thing in sci-fi cinema, Tim Travers is well worth your time...there’s enough ideas here for a dozen movies; what’s particularly notable is how successfully Stimson Snead's inventive movie fuses such different elements… Rated: 4/5 May 30, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review E S This film doesn't take itself seriously, but at the same time, it takes its genre seriously. It's a "weird science" movie hailing from 1985, doing business in 2025, and it knows it. It goes whole ham on that without leaning way too hard on the nostalgia machine (coughbrangerstringscough) to do the heavy lifting. It doesn't ask too much of the audience, but also, you can dig surprisingly deep into the plot and pay entirely too much attention to everything and get something out of looking deeper. I can like that. The cast is clearly having fun with what they are doing. I'm not sure how they did some takes, because I wouldn't have been able to stop laughing long enough to get the shot. I don't normally say this for a film set in current times, but I liked the costuming. It did a nice job of suggesting an era, not a year, which is always good for grounding the narrative. It's rude, no, really rude, but it's fun. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Audience Member I saw this twice on when it was on the festival circuit and was never disappointed. The jokes didn't get old after repeated viewings, and I still found myself finding new details. I can't wait for it to release on streaming so I can watch it again!
