There are four low budget shorts, their quality varying, but the best of them is not good. I kept waiting for something to happen, but then it was either something underwhelming or the story ended abruptly. I liked the way the Doors were designed, especially in the first short. They could have taken that and made it a full feature with a story and it would have been good. Unfortunately other than the design it was all confusing and artsy while saying nothing clear. No closure, no actual action or agency, just "hey, this happened. The end".

What upset me most about this production is that both the Imdb description text and the trailer are failing to present this as a collection of short films. Instead you expect a full on movie with a lot of different storylines that somehow (they must, right?) connect to each other. But they don't! Neither do they reach any conclusion on their own.

Yeah, the classroom bit was about it for anything intriguing. Then the whole Josh Peck as a "leading man" thing tanks it. The part at the cabin was high school drama club stuff. And the tacked-on work-at-home ending perhaps because of pandemic but also definitely because they ran out of money....unbelievably awful.

Save your brain. Literally do anything else with 90 minutes of your life.

White created a movie called Portals, released in 2019, and Doors follows the same formula. I liked Doors more than Portals. However, that isn't saying much. Neither film is very good. Both movies are a series of individual short stories. Each short story is written and directed by different people, using different actors in different situations involving the primary plot device. You guessed it, enigmatic doors and portals. I like this movie concept, but the finished product feels more like a film student's project. The script, acting, and production value just isn't there. Some of the acting and dialogue were almost painful to watch. By the time the credits rolled, I was disappointed. If you really want to see Doors, I certainly wouldn't pay extra to watch this movie.

Right, well I must say that I was lured in to watching the 2021 sci-fi movie given the movie's cover/poster. It seemed fairly interesting, and I will admit that reading the movie's synopsis was the thing that made me want to watch it.

And I should just have put it back and left it alone. Wow, this movie was a massive swing and a miss from directors Saman Kesh, Jeff Desom and Dugan O'Neal.

The storyline was a heap of rubbish. I have to admit that I never really caught on to what this movie was about, aside from strange portals popping up around the world. But after that, the movie never made much sense, and it utterly failed to provide me with any level of entertainment. And believe you me, it was a massive struggle to sit through the ordeal that is known as "Doors".

This 2021 sci-fi movie had Chris White, Saman Kesh, Jeff Desom and Ed Hobbs as writers, and it just baffles me that four writers can collectively manage to elude delivering something entertaining and fulfilling.

I suppose the acting performances in "Doors" were adequate, but it was hard to focus on the actors and actresses in the movie, as I was literally struggling to find just an ounce of interest in the abysmal storyline. I wasn't familiar with anyone on the cast list, which is usually a good thing and something I enjoy, but in "Doors" I just couldn't connect with any of the characters, nor did I ever form any kind of interest or bond with any of them, as I simply just didn't care about it. They were not rooted in a profound storyline, as since nothing made sense here, why bother?

Usually I am not overly keen on sci-fi movies, and something like the 2021 movie "Doors" is the reason why I tend to not jump at every single sci-fi movie that I stumble upon.

Now, I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movie such as "Doors". I, however, wasn't part of that particular target audience.

I am rating "Doors" a meager, but generous, two out of ten stars. This was such a waste of time.

Four high school students are stuck in detention when something starts happening in the world. That is the first section in this movie which is split into different parts. The first section is a fascinating Twilight Zone story with four unknown young actors. It's twenty minutes. It could have been a fine full length sci-fi horror but it skips to the next section. The second section has Josh Peck, Lina Esco, and Dugan O'Neal in a group. Dugan is a co-writer and co-director of the movie. What I like least about this section is the attempt at light-heart pranking. The world is newly apocalyptic and Josh Peck keeps joking around. It's annoying. The movie disintegrates over time as each section has its own disjointed tone within this world. I'd rather they stuck with the four kids and keep going with their story. It wouldn't be great but at least, it would have a chance at being functional.

Let me be honest, i fell for the poster, should have checked the reviews first. Though the start and second to last scenes of the movie / plot were good but ended in one senseless, continued manner. Dont watch it and just simply ignore this useless piece of movie.

The movie starts off well in a school classroom but sinks deep into a mess never to see any of the actors in a number of segments again. What keeps the segments together is a radio voice over a time period, then refreshes and the film concludes.

The film achieves nothing. It tends to emulate Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, but fails completely, leaving nothing but imaginary baloney.

The only good look of the movie is its deceptive poster.

This is a bad film, i just did not care, bad story, bad acting, amateurly made. just dont bother.

I wish movies now a days would get a good story and actually stick with it. This movie was all over the board and started off strong, then got strange and then I got completely lost. I would not recommend this movie unless you just had nothing better to do and are already bored out of your mind.

We live in the time when every sci-fi is measured by Avengers and similar high budget pop corn entertainment. One of the victims is this intimate thought-provoking low key sci-fi. The narrative is unconventional, pacing is slow. The doors design and purpose were done in refreshing way. Visual effects are well integrated into the story and not over the top. Hollywood marketing (poster and trailer ) were quite misleading, obviously drawing the wrong audience to this art house type movie.

I don't understand why it has such a low rating with such bad reviews.

I suspect too many people want their sci-fi movies to be contained in a box that they have pre-conceived.

I have turned a lot of movies off in my life but not this one.

It was engaging, I was never bored, the plot was interesting and the acting was good.

Sure they probably would have liked to have a bigger budget for effects, but they did a decent job through out most of it.

I say if you like Sci-fi movies that are not mainstream or overblown, watch it and decide for yourself. If I had read the reviews and decided not to watch it, I would have missed out on something I enjoyed.

There is nothing to misunderstand in Doors - it is simply a low budget production that mainly drags on and on and on. Limited budget, limited acting skills, four more or less boring episodes. They should have put all the money and ideas in one short movie to get attention for their vision and maybe then collect a budget enough to make a real movie, but the script for Doors would have needed still some serious editing and reworking.

I saw the reviews were pretty low, but the concept sounded intriguing and I gave it a try anyway.

The reviews are correct however - this really isn't that good.

Overall, I think of it as a collection of 4 shorts that all have a central scenario - the arrival of mysterious objects they decide to call "Doors", and different ways people interact with them.

And that's it. I have my theory on why they showed up and what their purpose is, but I want to keep it spoiler free. It seems pretty clear based on a few big giveaways that the one door itself reveals, and a certain scene at the very end of the 3rd part.

Is that all they could afford for the special effects?

The movie is an anthology stories sci fi production. It's rather amateurish : they didn't check the spelling of the written on the screen ( 26:05 "appeard" ), but it kept my attention up until the end. That's an indicator, at least for me, that it's worth watching.

The movie wants to be something. There are 3 stories and none of them are told beyond the tagline level. They are each the start of a story but contain nothing but the start. The ending is just plain cerebral self-abuse that doesn't even rise to the level of pretentiousness. I'd almost say that someone had half an idea and their buddy had a couple of cool special effects to represent the doors and in the end, that's all they had.

As a huge scifi lover the concept and the tension of the first two part got my attention, but from the second half it was just the downward spiral of boredom. I'm sorry it turned out this way.

While the idea is good, which led me to try to watch it, its a horrible lousy story, very bad acting, amateurly made.

Absolute Horrible Junk!!!! It would be a real challenge to make anything worse!!!!

What a surprising movie. It's weird, different and a little messed up. It's not a Hollywood everything has to be in a nice little package. It's original, I've never seen anything like it before. The only thing I can complain about is that I didn't want it to end. I just finished it and I would watch it again immediately if I had the time.

Anyone scoring this low doesn't understand Sci-Fi. This is a great movie, taking an original concept and exploring it through simple scenarios and leaving the viewer to complete the picture on their own. Don't not miss this if you really love sci-fi.

Never doing that again, lol. I've seen high school films better than this.

Really bad dialogue No character motives Sloppy plot, no real direction Tries too hard to be deep

Those two scientists, Jamal and whatever, were the only two people who talked somewhat realistically.

This film held a lot of promise, the basic premise of strange, unexplained, alien doors appearing all over the world, leading to much of the population disappearing was an intriguing one and could have delivered so much more. I was hoping for a smart, cerebral sci-fi in the same territory of Solaris, but in the end it all came across as bit incoherent and rambling. The structure, made up of a series of short films, didn't help - although each section was linked by the over-arching theme, they seemed to lack any other connection and with an entirely new cast and narrative turning up every twenty minutes or so, the whole film had no coherence or continuity. There were some strong individual concepts and ideas, but they just weren't given time to develop into anything more than brief vignettes. The cast were decent and did what they could and there were some nice VFXs and production values but the script just wasn't strong enough and the end product didn't match up to the ambition of the filmmakers.

Would have rated it zero if I could. I can't believe someone actually made this movie. I don't like to be nasty or overly critical of someone's work but I honestly have nothing nice to say about it. Maybe it was made for a very small, very particular and odd audience.
