Parallel

And, yes I'm going to tell right away - you can actually understand dialogue. Sound is clear, crisp and easily understood. No noise volume wars in this movie.

Cast is small, plot is simple, some things are a bit generic but it works. It's shot competently.

I'd wager this is a pretty small budget movie. But for what it does, it uses that budget smartly.

I don't like the cumulative score this movie has here. I don't understand it. It is not a bad movie. Yes, it's microbudgeted, small cast, not bombastic and the plot is pretty straightforward. Maybe people got bored during it, who knows.

In any case, I liked it.

Nothing new, with less cast than Coherence.

This movie was good, well shot, and all around good for the genre. I think I enjoyed it because despite it clearly being a multiple dimension film, if you removed that and only thought about it as a weekend getaway with a husband a wife and a friend trying to move past a traumatic event, and that everyone is using psychology to try and break through to each other, it also works.

The ending though was just a bit too cookie cutter for a happy ending that didn't need that very last scene. It would've been just as good with everyone moving on/accepting what had happened.

One let down was that a piece of string was somehow going to help them travel through dimensions in a repeatable fashion. Sure if she had only followed the string to follow him, I'd buy it. But the moment he came back to her and wrapping the string up, they had no way of guaranteeing which reality they'd emerge in.

Worth the watch. You have to judge this movie relative to its budget and production capabilities. Considering this, the movie did a fantastic job of maximizing the movie to the best of its ability.

The story was great, although it was a bit shallow at times I wish they would have built it out more and given it a bit of depth and richness. However, they built it out enough to be enjoyable, and I thought that the acting was really good.

All of this being said, I can also see what would warrant some lower reviews. While, some of the criticisms are fair many of them are addressed by the movies budget and the less resources they had to make this film.

Initially skeptical after seeing its unimpressive ratings, I reluctantly decided to watch this multiverse/time travel film after browsing through several user reviews. To my surprise, the movie captivated me with its unique, almost claustrophobic atmosphere, confined to a minimalistic setting with just three characters. Despite its apparent simplicity and limited scope, the film impressively explores its concept, pushing the boundaries of its narrative constraints.

It maintains a delicate balance between innovation and budget constraints, and I found myself wondering if its success was a stroke of luck or a testament to clever filmmaking. Unlike many avant-garde films that tend to meander and conclude on an unsatisfying note, this one managed to weave depth and intrigue throughout, compelling me to invest emotionally in all three protagonists-and their various iterations.

Given the complexity and the slow-burn nature of its storytelling, this movie might not resonate with everyone. It demands the right mood and moment-perhaps catching you in the perfect universe on the perfect evening, as it did with me. That night, I felt rewarded for my patience and was glad to see a film that didn't squander its potential. The industry's standard might hover around mediocrity, but this film stands out, deserving of much more than its initial 4.9 rating. Ultimately, I found myself struggling between 6 and 7 stars, but decided for a 7, appreciative of the heart, thoughts and risk invested by its creators, which set it apart from the pack. In a landscape where genuine innovation is rare, this film is a noteworthy exception.
