The overall idea is good, especially for a fan of alternate universes. But keep your expectations low-to-medium. The characters are ok, acting is ok and the story is (at most times) ok. If you are into this style, you ll find this movie enjoyable. 7/10

This movie could have been a classic. It just ended up being: meh... Frustrating to watch how dumb almost all of the characters were.

Good sci-fi movie, with intriguing possibilities but the whole thing felt unfulfilled in the end. Great acting from everyone though.

I'm glad I didn't overlook this one just cause it had a low rating on IMDB. This was a pretty good and somewhat original take on parallel universes. This is worth watching especially if you're a fan of this type of sci-fi.

On the "Was I upset I spent 2hrs watching" scale this is a 7/10. On a scale that includes StarWars, Wizard of OZ, Departed, etc. it wouldn't be that high.

I've seen BAD acting, special FX, etc., this movie could use some refinement here or there but I wouldn't use BAD to describe any aspect of it. I'm not a Genre (multi-verse) expert, don't think I've watched Twilight Zone, but I did enjoy Leo DiCaprio in Inception. This isn't Inception; and there are some areas where the "jumping" can be hard to track. But my Wife and I both agreed: "Not Bad" and a solid 6/10.

Watching this film -- or trying to -- is like being in a slo-mo car accident. The opening sequence is fantastic. It "tells" you that this is the beginning of a great movie, there is so much more to come. But that is a false promise. Even the first 20 minutes seems to be heading in the right direction, a really promising setup. And then, once the arc is established, the writer completely runs out of ideas and suddenly the film experience about a group of friends with petty problems itself becomes just as petty. Textbook example of a story that works backwards -- the beginning is SO much better than the rest of the movie..

This was an impressivly entertaining movie. An interesting premise that was actually done very well. The movie does not rely on cheap looking cgi and mostly everything in the film is practicle. A group of friends. Devin, josh, leena and noel are messing around in the basement of the house they share when leena discovers a hole and a fake wall. It leads to a loft where they find a mirror. Not just any mirror though its one that allows them to go to a parallel universe. Josh and noel use it to create their app in time but after the rest of the friends start using it for their own intent and its not long before things start to go off track. I thought this was acted well and the main cast did very well. And overall its just a pretty great movie.

I enjoyed this, but it feels like an unfinished ending, like 2015's "Parallels" pilot for a (unfortunately) failed bid for a television series.

A lot of room to grow, redo the ending, or expand into a series.

I agree with most critics here: it was a great concept. The actors are also doing a great job; it is unfortunate they were given very little to work with here in terms of how their characters and the story were written. This could have been a fantastic movie if the writers had had a better idea of where they wanted to go. Still, I managed to have a good time watching this; keep your expectations to a minimum and prepare for the lack of substance and you might enjoy it as well.

This is an okay sci-fi film. Basic plot is 4 housemate find a mirror which is a portal to other parallel universes. The first half of the movie was better than the second. The acting was okay, I liked the fact that all four main characters were quite different. The direction wasn't great but passable, and as with all horrors they left it open for a sequel. Not bad to pass the time, but I think the plot for the second half could have been better.

What a great movie.

Before starting this movie I thought I would most likely switch it off half way through but I wanted to watch it as I am fascinated with the idea of the multiverse at the moment. I was engrossed, cool story and a nifty bunch of actors.

Worth a watch.

The multi verse idea has so much potential. The show Fringe is an example of making that idea interesting. This is a drama where the main story is relationships/friendships, not much sci-fi. Started out decent enough, then by 2nd half seemed like a totally different movie as it became a muddled, boring soap opera.

Pretty much faultless movie, only limited by its budget and story arc. It's well directed and acted from some well known faces, the script is aligned with each character, the score and cinematography keep everything moving nicely. As mentioned the only limitation is the story itself, you know pretty much what is going to occur, however it's definitely worth it. Only real negative is the run time, 15-20 mins too long, but the end gore is worth it.

This movie COULD have been a great movie.

The acting was cheesy, the story line was confusing and it felt like it dragged.

Low reviews coming mostly from those demanding all sci fi have hundred million dollar budgets and sneering "Where are the big names?"

It's indie, and impressive what they were able to do with some fine acting from unknown actors and almost zero effects. The story is well plotted with some good twists, as interesting as most time travel/parallel world stories.

Will keep the interest of any but those loving Michael Bay blow-them-up type brainlessness.

As usual SciFi ratings on here are about 1 point lower than they should be because few people like SciFi. However this is a good show, not fantastic but good and very watchable. Didnt like the ending but it was very interesting and worth a watch if you like SciFi.

The ending of the movie is a jumbled rush. However, the movie is enough of an interesting sci-fi jaunt that's worth watching if viewers don't mind keeping track of characters that have look-alike counterparts in a parallel world. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 2/3/2021

You have seen the idea many times in stuff like Twilight Zone and similar fare. I found it impossible to discern in which world they currently are in many scenes.

I suspect most positive reviews here are planted.
