Stasis (2017)
After a night out of partying and left behind by her friends, Ava wakes up and sneaks back home only to find that she's already safe in bed. But that's not Ava - it's someone who looks just like her. A time-traveling fugitive has stolen Ava's body, her identity, and her life. What's more -- she's not alone. There are others, hiding in the past, secretly living among us, plotting to alter the future. Without her body, Ava is a virtual ghost, silent and invisible to the world. And, so far as she knows, she's the only one who can stop them and put the timeline back on course.

If I had to guess, the script was written for a middle school project that somehow scraped together a few dollars to get produced. This film gives "The Room" a run for its money when it comes to acting and plot.
In my opinion this movie is better than it seems from the other reviews here.The SciFi (which I pronounce "Siffy") Channel has released a whole series of potboilers with a plot I describe as "last man standing". In those movies, a group of initial protagonists gets picked off one-by-one until only one person (or one good-looking young couple) remain alive at the end of the flick.And you would think that "Stasis" was going to go right down that path, but it really doesn't. Not quite. And while the overall setting is so close to at least one current streaming TV series that it's almost plagiarism, there are some unique ideas that might get your attention (unless I'm overselling this thing, of course).Personally, I like the ending "okay", but as with many "B" movies, they didn't put it over with as much punch as you might hope for (if you agree with me that some of the Star Wars movies really nail their endings, then you probably get what I mean).But again, it's clearly a step ABOVE those movies that make you say "What? It's over? Did they just stop filming or something?"
Distinctly b movie or worse film using the notoriety of cloud atlas.Poor acting, well it's barely acting, as i've seen tree's with more skill than most of this lot.The travelers tv show uses the same premise of future people sending their consciousness back in time to stop the bad future. But it's done in a much better way with much better people..The only person i knew from it was the lead bad guy who voices aramaki in ghost in the shell english dubs.
It takes a lot to make a bad movie for me. I might be one of the most generous critics when it comes to movies because I prefer giving a movie a full review vs what they did wrong or lacked. That being said this is a watch at your own risk movie because the acting is terrible. However, (at least for me), a strong story will keep me plowing through most movies and the story definitely saved this for me. The 7* grade I gave this is purely for the original concept and interesting (yet simple) story that was told. The film also did not reach over it's budget with terrible CGI which also can be a big turn off for me. If this was done as a novel I think most of the bad reviews would not be here. If you're someone that can get past the acting in movies this is defiantly worth a chance.
