Since losing her husband Mal (played by: Edi Gathegi from For All Mankind, Caged, Twilight franchise, and The Blacklist) in a drunk-driving incident, Sophie (played by: Judy Greer from Ant-Man franchise, Halloween franchise, Jawbreaker, Jurassic World franchise, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Cursed, Valley Girl, Carrie, Elizabethtown, and Arrested Development) has struggled to manage crippling grief, a full-time job, and the demands of parenting her devastated teenage daughter (played by: Faithe Herman from Shazam 1/2, Watchmen, and This is Us). When her husband's best friend Jabir (played by: Payman Maadi from A Separation, Camp X-Ray, Pig, and Westworld), a former physicist reveals that he has been building a time-bending machine that could restore her former life, Sophie will be faced with an impossible choice-and unforeseeable consequences!!!!
First off, I just want to say it's great to see the talented character actress Judy Greer get a starring role here. She's one of the best in the business and I feel like she's always been underrated. She delivers a great performance in this sci-fi feature. She's falling apart and she gets a chance to change her life forever. I love time travel films and this one is an interesting take on the sub-genre. Aporia has a solid supporting cast that includes Edi Gathegi, Payman Maadi, and Faithe Herman. It has a good script that has drama, grief, suspense, and twists in it. This independent production looks bigger than it's actual budget. It's definitely worth checking out especially if you are a fan of the amazing Judy Greer!!!!
