The Gateway

Like time travel / dimensions jumps story lines? Well this is worth a watch.

For a little Aussie movie this is a pleasant Sunday afternoon watch.

Story line is compelling enough as it gets you thinking about what they are doing and berating the characters for some of their decisions.

Not bad acting throughout.

Don't know if the writers have EVER been to development lab, but my God (!) what kind of security do they have on site!!

Dunno if the final scene twist was necessary, but that's for viewers to decide.

This had a great story and plot line. There is more that could easily be explored with this plot line. As far as low budget Sci-Fi goes, this was one of the better ones. The acting could have been a bit better, but it really wasn't that bad. I have seen much worse from far more movies. Worth the time to watch it.

I'm writing to you from my own parallel world. Don't try to come here b/c once you leave your own world you can never return. It's just endless jumps from one world to the next & never back to the one b/4.

Once you put aside the complete scientific impossibility, you're in for quite an adventure. Yin-Yang, push & push back, everything has consequences or cause & affect. As a scientist, Jane's choice is quite irrational, but it makes for good story telling. Suspenseful & thrilling.

So what's your current situation? Are you in a dark place, desperate enough to make an irrational decision like Jane? What would you do?

I always enjoy alt universe themes.

If you like this one, or don't but also like the alt univ, there's a new series, "Counterpart", to continue with, and another underrated mini series, "The Lost Room" (2006, currently 8.3 stars here at IMDb).

Another pretty good movie in the same genre, "Parallels", (2015, underrated at 6.2 here at IMDb by critics that can't grasp sci fi)

The rating is too low for this movie.

It is a well made drama with science fiction elements.

The acting is great. The plot is solid. And the cinematography is professional.

It is a solid 7, but I give it an 8 because bitter reviewers happen.
