The Butterfly Effect, film. Warning: Not Happy! Sort of Monkey's Paw cursed wishes territory. It does things I didn't expect it to, and does them imaginatively, squids on mantelpieces liberally strewn and are resolved, and it works.
Twelve Monkeys, film. The last scene really got me, I was just at the right amount of not quite getting what was about to happen but almost there for it to send shivers up my spine, which made the whole thing worthwhile.
Donnie Darko, film. Ditto re the coming together just at the right pace for me, so that the last scene was wonderful and devastating at the same time.
Not sure if any of these count as 'paradoxes', just messing with time stuff.

Star Trek reimagined rewatched
|
>By the way, what do you think of the new Star Trek's film timeline mess up? I think that was a brilliant move.
I rewatched it a couple of days ago to refresh my memory. Wow, just as good the first time, and now I remember better: yes, I really liked that.
As action movies go, that one really went & went well.
And it has characters too.
The literally changing the timeline to reinvent the characters a little, rather than just reinventing them with no reason, yes, why not, that really worked for me.
And all the visuals were great. The alien ship looked really good (but the first time round I was thinking vorlons, really alien technology, a bit more different than just a mining ship from 100 years on)
(When I said I was a fan of JJ Abrams, I was thinking of Alias and Cloverfield specifically, both of which are present in tiny bits here - the idea that a red sphere is cool/ the idea of an important red sphere was used also in Alias, and the two monsters on the cold planet look a little cthuloid mythosical, as did the monst from Cloverfield.)
