Undocumented

This unique sci-fi film follows a time traveler who takes over the body of a recently deceased man, only to find himself entangled in the complexities of the man's personal life. As he struggles to evade the suspicions of the dead man's girlfriend and deal with everyday challenges, he also faces a much greater dilemma-whether to interfere with history to prevent an impending nuclear war. Blending suspense, drama, and subtle dark humor, The Time Traveler's Dilemma offers an intriguing perspective on time travel, raising questions about fate, responsibility, and the unintended consequences of altering the past. With a well-paced narrative and engaging performances, it's a thought-provoking film that keeps viewers invested from start to finish.

Not so long ago I thought that another production based on time travel would not surprise me with anything new. I was wrong. This is a noteworthy science fiction production. Unusual, imaginative and interesting, makes you think and provides good entertainment.

But it's cinema for viewers who value content above all, not special effects. Praise is due for well-written dialogues, as well as equally well sketched characters, endowed with interesting personalities, in which there is definitely more potential.

It would seem that the main character, Mika, has only one possible path to follow, but the ending may actually surprise you. Despite the bleak theme the film touches upon nuclear war, to which the protagonist is apparently indifferent. There are also touches of humor that flow naturally from the development of the plot and add lightness to the reception of the film.

On the technical side, there are very beautiful pictures, though with occasional camera shakes. To a large extent, "Undocumented" is based on a remarkable story and solid dialogues. The creator of the work proves that the quality of a film is not determined by the cannonade of visual effects, but by a skillfully told story.

This film is an interesting option if you enjoy hard science fiction.

Sci-fi can stop being associated with dystopias or action-fantasy and really get on the podium it deserves: A genre able to change our view on science, evolution and reality itself.

We can glimpse at the future through this film and imagine the paths which humanity could take. Futurology shouldn't be optional, but compulsory in a film that calls itself science fiction. Undocumented. A film where actions happen in our heads rather than on screen. A movie to watch with your full brain, rather than with your eyes. This film may either bore you or change your perspective on sci-fi. You don't need to be into fantasy, robots, aliens or cosmology to enjoy a good sci-fi film.

This film is futurology incarnate. A positive view of the potential future of humanity. I like the optimism that emanates throughout the whole film, even in the face of nuclear war. It reminds me of Lao Tze's philosophy of inaction. As the protagonist says: "What's the point in restraining evolution? Evolution is violence. Either we evolve or we live in Eden, in blissful ignorance." He is stoically accepting life's blows as a means to evolve into a more homeostatic being. He promises us that Eden is coming, but he doesn't say exactly when or through which means. Which raises the inevitable question: Do we need to die to go to heaven?
