Time Month - Editorial - The wrong type of paradox?

It's Time Month

And it's time to look at a thorny issue with time travel, Paradoxes. Does a paradox in itself spoil the plot? Not usually but when a movie is careful with its time travel rules, it's often quite jarring to see them disregard them. I'm going to looking at examples across the board, not necessarily just things I've reviewed and see where they stack up. Spoilers ahead folks

Guilty Pleasures #36 - Time Month - Day of the Doctor

Note: The Bulk of this review was written shortly before the passing of John Hurt. I have made minor alterations since but my opinion of this special is unchanged

It’s time Month!

And I’m still not recovered from Time Shifter’s awfulness I need something half decent to review.

Of course! Doctor Who is staple when it comes to time travel and the like, so tackling something like Doctor Who is an inevitable part of the month. And where Steven Moffat tends to excel is using time tricks in writing episodes, rather than just using the ability of time travel to have an episode set anywhere and any when.

Day of the Doctor uses a couple of those time tricks, it was also a special that celebrated the 50^th Anniversary of Doctor Who, so it’s worth taking a look.

Time Month - Mini Review: Predestination

It’s Time Month!

And it’s time see a movie from the land down under. Predestination

Based on the short story “-All You Zombies-” (go figure that title) this is another labour of love, this time by the Spierig Brothers, who co-produced, directed and wrote the screenplay. It’s been critically well acclaimed, why? Well, let’s take a look.

#43 - Time Month - Time Shifters

Well, this had to come at some point… It’s Time Month

And we get the first and only Rage review out of the way with Time Shifters

I have literally no information about this one, Amazon customers gave it mostly negative reviews and that’s about all I found. Dunno if it’s been released as something else elsewhere but whatever it is, let’s just take a look.

Time Month - Mini Review: Synchronicity

It’s Time Month

And we’re looking at Synchronicity

Released in 2015 to say this had mixed reviews is… yeah, it’s about accurate. I really don’t have a lot of information about this one. Let’s just take a look.

Time Month - Mini Review: Time Runners

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s my ‘Pleasure?’ to welcome you to Time Month

Time travel is something used in books, TV shows and movies, both high and low budget ones. During the month of March, we’ll look at such movies and their varying qualities, plus a special episode of Doctor Who that needs covering. But before we get to that, let’s take a look at Time Runners.

Also known as 95ers: Echoes this movie was, by the looks of things, a passion project for Thomas Gomez Durham, who is credited for several things in the movie. It was funded, at least in part, by Kickstarter, giving him $17020, minus the cut taken by Kickstarter. Apparently, they’d already raised $150k, so… How does it hold up? Well let’s take a look.
