Nice pilot and concept with VERY POOR acting performances and almost worst sequence and logic during the development of the movie, thank god this people didn't get to end the story... maybe later someone with a real cast and some cinematography sense can make something good out of the plot

I found some irritating inconsistencies during this film and put it down to poor writing, but as it turned out it was intentional all along! Such as Ronan driving the first car in the nuke world back to the building, then later on in the film he gets in to the car outside his dad's house and Polly asks if he knows "how to drive one of these things".There are a few more, and if you watch again closely they are sprinkled everywhere. A delight to watch the second time too.Clever writing, believable acting, a bit melodramatic in places and could use some general tinkering with the pacing, and characters telling their life story every 20 mins as a plot device to give the characters the info they need to move forward. Netflix, Amazon, pick this up immediately and move forward, so we can all pay to watch a series.

Just bad, just plain bad! Like Sliders this had the possibility to be great, but (also like Sliders) it was given the Gilligan's Island lost and never seem to find a rescue formula. The only time this formula ever worked (maybe it worked for LOST,but I could not stomach to watch that show) was with Gilligan's Island and Star Trek Voyager, and the only reason it worked for Voyager is because it had so many other things going for it. Sliders and Parallels are pretty much the same show, except Sliders made sense in that the device was something covert and Parallels chose the device as a building that shows up in every Multiple universe (no matter how advanced or ruined) with nobody noticing that it is so different or trying to live there/tear it down, etc. The other difference, it Parallels tries to be trendy, which pretty much sums up the target audience as a bunch of dumb kids.Sliders, and even this movie, could have been great if they left the Gilligan's Island angle out of it. Just think how good it could be with people exploring the multi-verse and dealing with the personal and social conflict of different worlds while being able to return to their own.Also, the ending sucks. It just ends, period. No closure, just a revelation that the annoying half-Asian chick is taking turns with her duplicates from other worlds to explore the multiverse.

This is not a movie, it's a pilot, a first double episode of what was supposed to become a show. I wish I knew before I wasted my time.You can clearly notice it looks and plays like a TV show, but I liked the premise so I didn't mind. Until the end. When it just stopped. Last line "See you soon" or some bullshit. Then nothing more.This is like selling you the first chapter of a book as "a book". Ehm ... it isn't really a book, we just made the first chapter, an introduction to something that we didn't really do after all... Could have been a decent show. Could have been a decent movie, maybe 7/10 or 8/10, but as it is now, just a beginning and nothing more, it's a waste of everybody's time. Thus 3/10. Maybe 2/10. I'm so upset.
