I don’t think anyone mentioned ARQ yet. I saw this on Netflix a while ago, I assume it’s still there but maybe not.

Couple of probably not too well known films but worth a watch if you like these types of films are triangle and coherence.
OK, so I'm searching for Triangle and looks like there are a few films with that title. There's one with Melissa George, is that it?

I'm still disappointed that Stargate Universe was cancelled
The first season was ok, but the second season was a huge improvement over it.
I think if they didn't cancel it, the series would have been one of the best sci-fi TV series ever made.

Those are all amazing. Been meaning to start rewating some but don't know where to start! I completely agree about SGU, such a shame. It was a bit overly dramatic but was getting set up for some amazing sci fi adventures...
Been keeping an eye on an SGU comic series that has been coming out, which starts right after S2. It hasn't progressed too far though and the art is so so, but I'm excited to see how it turns out: https://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Stargate-Universe-Back-To-Destiny
The ads on that site are annoying but it's a great source for comics. New issues have been coming out every few months so the 7th issue should come out soon. Haven't read it yet but it looks like instead of issue 7 they did an SGU/Atlantis anthology:

The Endless was quite good. What a mind fuck that was though. The same writer director duo also put out Spring a few years ago. I haven’t seen it yet but after watching The Endless I put it on my “movies to see” list.

That's what is started from, but there have been 3 TV series 2/3 of which are amazingly long. The first TV series also has 2 movies set at the end of the series to wrap up different plotlines. One of those movies is actually about time travel and changing history/creating alternate timelines.
The first movie is alright but the TV shows are incredible if you like sci fi. SG-1 is a classic and SGA/SGU both have some amazing parts as well. If you watch them start with SG-1 if you want to get the chronological order.
Also Kurt Russel got replaced for the TV series by Richard Dean Anderson, who honestly fits the role perfectly anyways. IF you like the movie the TV shows are 1000x better IMO.

If you want a truly disturbing mind-fuck, then I would suggest Predestination.
I would rank it along with Black Swan, and Requiem for A dream as a movie that disturbed me so deeply, that I would go out of my way to never have to watch it again, or even think about it.
I wish I could time travel back to before I saw any of these films. 
I do like this genre though, and would also recommend Mr. Nobody. Also The Fountain (an Aronofsky film I've actually watched multiple times), Donnie Darko, and Groundhog day.
Oh and for a tv show - Mr. Robot, which is in my opinion one of the best shows currently airing, and possibly of all time.

Not disagreeing but you should watch the TV series and you will understand why his replacement is so iconic. They both did great jobs with the role it's just that the TV show gets way crazier and is much much longer 
Richard Dean Anderson is the guy who played MacGyver which is hilarious. No idea why Kurt didn't come back for the TV series
