Just perfect...

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

A building that acts as a portal to alternative Earths? So far so good. That's the kind of movie for me. Unfortunately, the first Earth that the trio (plus Wu) get to visit is a sort of cliché B-movie version of "Mad Max 2" – and that's definitely one of my more peevy cinematic pet-peeves. Sure, the location looks kinda nifty, but the characters and the plot revolving around that Earth are stereotypical and you know straight off the bat it's going to be boring. Thug gang kidnaps the innocents and they have to free themselves to reach the portal on time: who the hell didn't see that coming? A plot-line from 10,000 movies and TV shows.Things get better when they visit a more advanced Earth than our own. For some reason, the foursome split up into two groups, which is asinine. Not quite as dumb as horny dumb teens splitting up in a haunted mansion, but still quite daft. It's not as if they were tourists strolling through Manhattan or Paris, sightseeing.The finale became quite interesting, what with that elevator leading to who-knows-where-and-whom, and the appearance of the siblings' father. Or is he? The angry bald guy who makes gadgets hacks the building, which is a nice touch (I actually thought he was building yet another nuclear device to blow up THAT Earth as well! – which would have been extremely stupid), but his warning about Carver remains unresolved: why did he try to warn the others about him? Where did Baldy go? Whom did he meet up there? What was he told by the building's makers? Not only is all of that unresolved, but we don't even get to find out what the mysterious sphere was for. I mean, Ronan had it in his bag since the movie started, and yet it never amounts to much more than a plot-device for Wu to tell us that there is a place called Coreworld.That's the movie's basic problem: too many loose ends completely ignored and unexplained. A certain measure of mystery is perfectly acceptable – even advisable – for such movies, but too many loose ends lead to confusion and a sense that the script is underdeveloped. At the very least there should be a sequel to wrap things up, but low-budget indie movies aren't exactly known for sequeling themselves that much.Aside for the fun premise, my biggest congrats goes to whoever cast Constance Wu, because that woman makes all the female A-listers look really bad (which isn't saying much), such a refreshment in the Age of Ugly Nepotists. I said this a million times, but I'll say it again: why can't a beautiful woman like her have a career the way Aniston and Kunis have? Because one is a nepotist and the other, well, we won't go into that. Or how about that daft little floozy Johansson? She gets hyped more than Coca Cola. Hollywood insiders will know exactly what I'm talking about. The outsiders will want to pelt me with food.

Do not let the IMDb score trick you, it is a solid science fiction movie. The acting is decent. The story is not necessarily unique but well tailored. The movie starts well and keeps you focused and curious until the very last moment. The time spent watching it is well worth it. The movie finishes open ended, signaling to a squeal. For some this may be positive and for some other it can be negative. However the movie does not end abruptly, the ending is satisfactory. In the last a few minutes of the movie it raises several questions, however it also answers many of the questions that arise during the movie. If you like science fiction movies with mystery elements in it, such as Coherence, then you will enjoy this movie.

All I need to ask is when is the sequel happening...?Soon I hope, this needs to happen. Excellent film great cast and fantastic writing. Well done to all that created this film and made it happen now hurry up and make the sequel.I don't know if you got what I said.... Make the sequel........Recommend to everyone with a pulse the plot is fantastic and keeps you on the edge of your seat with anticipation wondering what's going to happen next and what is the next parallel world is going to be, what it is going to look like, what was going to happen when they got there. It is a great suspense/sci-fi/thriller and I can't wait for the sequel.

What i would like to know, is this a teaser for a new TV show? if so, when? I used to enjoy the old sliders show, and this i think would be a great re-boot of it. so far the acting is fairly good, and the scenes are fairly well thought out. locations are spot on, although maybe a bit rushed in places. OK, the old sliders was a hokey kind of show, where this one seems to at least tie things together, they have left allot of bread crumbs for further expansion of this movie. allot of unanswered questions, makes you want to watch more, but the movie ended abruptly with them on a different earth. i certainly hope they make this in to a TV show.(Seriously 10 lines minimum to be able to make a comment? That's got to be the dumbest thing i have heard of in some time.)
