Flashes

Very nice feature. I like the multiple roles played by the lead and supporting characters. It was very creative, it takes talent and a lot of crafting for one person to play so many contradicting roles. I liked many of the director's choices"won't go into details to avoid spoiling". THE ENDING wAS A SURPRISE

So, I spent half of the movie jabbing the FF 10 seconds button and the other half in a comfortable mid afternoon nap. It seems like the back of my eye lids had no trouble keeping pace with this "science fiction thriller".

For those looking for a good movie to work out your right thumb or those who just like to sleep, I'd give it a solid rating.

As movies about string theory and the multiverse, this has got to be the laziest. They go with the idea that "every possibility" means anything is possible. The intention appears to be a pilot for a series with almost unlimited plot lines but recurring actors. However, the writing and character development was well enough done that they probably deserved to get picked up. There were even shots of humor that didn't have "humorous note" written all over them.

If you aren't looking for a head trip, this isn't bad. There are times when a person can feel as though their consciousness is just on the edge of sensing possibilities that will not be experienced by the body and this movies plays with this idea adequately. It did make me cry at one point because the character development is well done and they captured the moment you realize how much you have screwed others over and are unlikely to make it any better.

20 August 2016. There have been a number of recent alternate reality films in recent years such as Dimensions (2011) and I'll Follow You Down (2013) each there own take on parallel universes. Instead of the period drama of Dimensions or the romantic drama of I'll Follow You Down, Alternate Realities focuses a lot of its screen time on the stark distinctive alternate realities which at times becomes somewhat too confusing for the audience (though perhaps portrayed in much the same way the protagonist experienced them). The biggest difficulty with this movie is the protagonist's character which is not always very appealing. However, by the end of the movie there can be some audience connection with him. Alternate Realities has some resemblance to the character distinction as portrayed in The Thirteenth Floor (1999) which is suggested for those who haven't seen the movie.

I really enjoyed this movie! It's obviously not a huge budget movie but the story is really interesting and keeps you guessing the whole time. It's DEFINITELY worth the watch!!!
