Sci-fi stories captivate us with their unique blend of reality that feels possible, yet is infused with technology that stretches beyond our current understanding. This makes it all the more exciting for FilmSweep to premiere the trailer of ‘Aporia,’ a film soon to be officially released by Well Go USA Entertainment in theaters on August 11.
‘Aporia’ addresses an emotional issue: the film portrays Judy Greer (White House Plumbers) as a wife and mother whose life is thrown into chaos when her husband is tragically killed in a drunk-driving incident. She must grapple with her grief while also taking on the role of a supportive parent to her grieving teenager.
The trailer promises ‘Aporia’ will provide a real, grounded story, relying less on CGI or futuristic visuals. It looks like a narrative that could unfold in the present day, except for the incorporation of a time-travel device. Or more specifically, a malfunctioning machine intended to be a time-travel device, which morphs into a weapon that can target someone in the past. When Sophie chooses to use the device on the individual responsible for her husband’s death, she resurrects him, triggering a series of complex and larger problems.

Love the title – ‘Aporia’. So philosophical, much wow!
omg! Judy Greer in a Sci-fi movie? can’t wait. hope the time-travel part doesnt get too complicated…
The trailer looks intriguing. But isn’t it risky messing with time travel in a plot? Like, it can get really confusing
Sounds like a time paradox in the making lol. Let’s see if they handle it right or mess up.
Interesting…no heavy CGI. Keeping it real with time-travel, should be something different. Can’t wait to see this on August 11th!
