Jake the Husband of a constantly nagging wife (Chris) that puts him down whenever she gets the opportunity, he manages to discover a PORTAL to a alternate future. And his wifes reaction is just "so you discovered a portal okay" and isn't impressed and continues on with her nagging and remarks. After here unrealistic reaction to the discovery of the portal I lost all hope for this movie. The writer couldn't make the nagging wife break character for a second and have a realistic reaction to a portal in their own house. I gave it one star because of the extremely bad acting Natalia Dominguez. Summary of this whole movie is Husband - portal - nagging wife - portal - nagging wife. Yeah that's pretty much it.

Such a bad story even more bad acting and silly script. Not worth wasting time on this movie. The way people traveled through portal was such a silly idea. Need to be more creative on inter dimensional travelling medium. So many things could have been shown in parallel universe travelling but writer focused only on family issue which killed the story completely. Climax was a disaster too.
In this age of high fi sci-fi movie this movie holds no special significance. Would suggest to avoid it. Movies like Everything Everywhere All at Once is really appealing when it comes to parallel universe story. This movie does not stand any chance.
Not bad
Here's a low budget Sci-Fi, that never manages to amaze but is also not terrible. The story is about a man that (in rather sketchy circumstances),creates a portal to an alternate reality, but once he sees how different it is, things get complicated and morals are tested. This is an engaging and thought provoking storyline, even though it never is pushed to it's full potential.
The acting is OK, if a little rusty in places, but i have to say, i really didn't like the female lead at all. It felt like she was trying too hard to differentiate between the 2 personalities of her characters.
The script was a little ropey too. That being said, the story develops well and with a sensible running time, it doesn't drag at all, unlike some similar movies.
I did enjoy this movie, but i must confess, i think that could be mostly because i like this type of film, because after all, when i think about it back, this didn't really add anything exciting to the genre. So if you are like me and like the idea of mysterious psuedo-science, then you'll probably like this too, if not, then you may feel like passing this one by.
