PARATEMPORAL: Reseña | SYNCHRONIC: Movie Review
¡Hola amigos de hive!
It is a pleasure for me to greet you again after so long and what better way than bringing you a review of one of the movies I have seen recently - I hope you like it and I hope you will see it soon.

Science fiction is one of my favorite genres in the world of cinema, especially when it deals with intriguing topics that in a way can be possible, such as the origin of life or why we as human beings are the only living beings with consciousness; topics that leave you with a lot to think about and that movies take advantage of very well to create fantastic stories.
La película sobre la que hoy les voy a hablar tiene un poco de eso y me encanta además que lo hayan hecho con una historia conmovedora. El tiempo es una gran incógnita para la ciencia porque es un tema del cual no se tiene una verdad certera y de la que la imaginación deriva una gran cantidad de posibilidades, como por ejemplo, viajar en el tiempo.
The movie I am going to talk about today has a little bit of that and I love the fact that they have done it with a touching story. Time is a great unknown for science because it is a subject about which there is no certain truth and from which the imagination derives a great number of possibilities, such as time travel.

There are many winning films that became an eminence with this theme, such as "Back to the future" where a machine is created that together with the force of speed makes possible the idea of reaching a different time than the present and then there are others like "Lucy" where they use a synthetic drug that because of an overdose awakens the maximum potential of the brain allowing the human consciousness to know the origin of everything traveling to the beginning of life on earth. They are movies that gave a lot to talk about and that fascinated me completely.
En Paratemporal encontramos algunos parecidos con la historia de Lucy, ya que también se usa una droga sintética que como efecto secundario mezcla el presente con cualquier época del pasado; sería como la versión en la que la droga que crearon en Lucy se hubiera logrado comercializar y comenzamos a ver las situaciones que causaría el consumo de esta droga en pequeñas cantidades dentro de la sociedad.
In synchrony we find some similarities with Lucy's story, since a synthetic drug is also used that as a side effect mixes the present with any time in the past; it would be like the version in which the drug created in Lucy would have been marketed and we begin to see the situations that would cause the consumption of this drug in small quantities within society.

The story of this film features two paramedic buddies and best friends as the main characters, who begin to encounter some strange scenes in every emergency call they go to. At first they only seem to be young, out-of-control drug addicts, but curiously, in each of the scenes there are a couple of out-of-the-ordinary coincidences: extremely inexplicable situations such as an exotic snake bite in a hotel room or a dismembered body with a smiling face in an elevator, and an uncovered envelope with the same name "SYNCHRONIC", a new legal hallucinogen.

The scenes that these paramedics encountered became increasingly atrocious, senseless and unimaginable, including the disappearance of the 18-year-old daughter of one of them, a situation that led the other to search every drug store in the city specifically to buy all the sachets of Synchronic that were available, in a desperate attempt to avoid further misfortune from ingesting this hallucinogen.
Para su suerte logró encontrarlas todas pero cuando pensó que la pesadilla había acabado surgen situaciones que lo llevan a usar la droga, descubriendo lo que realmente causaba ingerir Synchronic, entendiendo a su vez lo que le había pasado a la hija de su mejor amigo y dándose a la tarea de encontrarla por sí mismo.
Luckily he managed to find them all, but when he thought the nightmare was over, situations arise that lead him to use the drug, discovering what really caused him to ingest Synchronic, understanding in turn what had happened to his best friend's daughter and setting himself the task of finding her on his own.

Personally I feel it's a pretty good movie, of course with Anthony Mackie's performance at least you knew it was going to be entertaining, but also the plot has the quality of being enigmatic, always keeping the viewer trying to understand what is happening and with the suspense of waiting for the unexpected.

However, I would have liked even more if the story had been given a scientific and not so much personal closure, something like what happened with Lucy, which while still being emotional the ending had completely scientific events that left me wanting to know more about the extraordinary of life and time.

Still, I can't detract from the good outcome of this movie and the good time I had watching it, I couldn't expect less from Universal Studios. One hundred percent recommended.
Esto ha sido todo por el día de hoy, muchas gracias por estar aquí, nos leemos en una proxima ocasión.
That's all for today, thank you very much for being here, see you next time.
