The film has a very promising opening, setting up a story of time travel that appears more believable than other treatments of the subject, while at the same time ingeniously employing time travel as a plot device to create a sense of foreboding. The quality quickly drops off, however, and much of the middle is more reminiscent of a high school group project than a professional film. This is largely intentional as the film is ostensibly composed of found footage, but it does not come across too well. Various audiovisual effects are used to convey the influence of time travel on reality itself; a good idea perhaps, but poorly executed and somewhat distracting. There are a few key revelations that are genuinely interesting both as plot points and in terms of more general questions that transcend the film itself, but for the most part there is little more than filler until the ending, in which the protagonist (and, by extension, the audience) is presented with a startling possibility about the universe and an impossible dilemma.
Given both the limited resources of the studio and the style they were going for, I think it would have been better if it were about an hour shorter. That said, it was still a decent movie and at times deeply thought-provoking. Modern science fiction films rarely have the courage to make such serious forays into the philosophical, but in the case of one "The Klatos Paradox" it proved one of its principle redeeming qualities.
