Rio Mumbai

About This Movie

So, Rio Mumbai is this intriguing science fiction piece from 2017 that really leans into the mind-bending side of time travel. It follows Nelson, a journalist who's pretty jaded about life, grappling with these bizarre occurrences. The pacing is a bit slow at times, but it builds this almost eerie tension as he interacts with an eccentric old scientist in his building, who has some wild theories. The old logbook that Maria receives adds a nice layer of connection, really tying them together across time. Practical effects aren’t overdone, which gives a grounded feel amidst the sci-fi elements. It's not flashy, but there's something hauntingly atmospheric about it that keeps you thinking long after the credits roll.
