dshell102 I wanted to enjoy this one as even throw away sci-fi (story built around fun idea but the rest of the movie isn't great) but this one was awful. Where it had originality it felt like others had this idea, realized it wasn't a good idea and dropped it. When it used one liners from Bond and Scarface, it felt totally unoriginal and made me honestly wonder how the writer has a job. The "comic" panels didn't add anything. In 24 they showed what multiple people were doing at the same time, but this was just multiple angles of the same scene most of the time, and the "comic" style did nothing to add to the story. It was a style, but the "pow" of the 60's Batman is a far better style that felt original and fresh while this seemed silly in a sci-fi story. (Yes, I know it's based on a comic, but it wasn't a super hero theme or anything. Was it just to advertise that it came from a comic? Because I couldn't figure out any other reason for it.) Sorry, I won't be recommending this one to anyone. The acting wasn't awful so I will give it three stars just so I don't feel I'm totally hating on it. (It was the movie quotes that killed it flat for me, I'll admit. They weren't even cool, they were just sad!)

Joel Waite My 1st review. With only a few reviews - all bad, I just had to..If your going to watch a Kevin Sorbo film, you should already know that it's going to be of "B" quality. Given that, this was an interesting story-line; a 'magic world' as the norm, with an alternate universe 'scientific world' as the thing of myth. The acting and the special effects were actually better than average for a Sorbo film, as well as for many of the new SyFy films being pumped out nowadays. If your looking for an interesting scifi movie to chill-out and watch, this is well worth your time.Overall I would give it at least a 5.0+

TheLittleSongbird When I first heard of Paradox and its concept, I thought that's interesting, there might be a good movie somewhere in there. Little did I know that such potential was going to be squandered, just like that. I agree it does show that the film has a made for TV feel, and a really bad made for TV feel at that. The editing is all over the place, the camera work is nothing special and the effects are substandard. The story is alone to squander the potential the concept held, it is a poorly paced and derivative one with many scenes that are pointless and go nowhere, while the dialogue is cheesy(unbearably) and inane and the characters poorly explored and clichéd. The direction is often messy, while none of the actors are good or connect to their characters. All in all, awful. 2/10 Bethany Cox

IceMetalPunk The concept drew me in since pre-production. Mixing our scientific world with an otherwise-identical magical world is such an amazing idea, I felt it could not possibly go wrong. And yet, it did. Horribly wrong.To begin with: HOW can the writers of such a great concept come up with such cheesiness? Throughout the movie, there was some seriously groan-worthy dialogue, and by the end I was almost suicidal from the overload of cheese. Even in the beginning, Helen's statement "I only have a Master's in Necromancy from Harvard" was probably the worst way possible to set up the similarities and differences between this magical world and our own. And Detective Nault watching CSI once in our world and suddenly cracking the case in his using CSI techniques? Seriously, what the hell were these writers on? On top of that, many things just seemed out of place and continuity-wise just didn't make sense. For example, they spend so much time leading up to a sex scene between Sean and Lenore, but that scene never happens. Also, Churchill notes that our world has too much iron, which inhibits magical energy, yet Lenore has no trouble bringing a stone minotaur to life with a single lipstick aleph. And then, what really annoyed me: Lenore and and Sean barely know each other, especially if we just take the scenes we've seen as their entire relationship, yet that doesn't stop the editors from adding a montage of them as if they've known each other for years.Lastly, a concept of universe-swapping should have more...well, universe-swapping. They spend only 10 minutes of the hour-and-a-half film in the other universe, and besides the aforementioned ridiculous CSI thing, there was little point to the trip anyway.Overall, if a better writer and production team decide to reboot this and execute it much better, I'm on board. But as it stands, no. No, no, no. This was terrible.
