Console best movie i've ever seen.

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Ozan Arslan 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.

view_and_review Oooh the promise this movie had. This movie toyed with a brilliant concept but... just... couldn't... reach..."Parallels", just like the title alludes to, is about parallel universes (or parallel Earths to be more specific). A brother, sister and neighbor stumble upon a building that has the ability to jump them to parallel Earths. The Earths vary from minor differences to major differences and all they want to do is find their father and get back home.The movie starts off great and has some serious promise as they mysteriously end up in another Earth. They are desperate to find answers but the have to navigate their new environment. There is a lot of mystery, danger, suspense and intrigue then it peters out. The three know that they are no longer home but they don't know enough about their new planet, yet they behave as though they do. Instead of being careful they are careless. It just seemed so illogical that it detracted from the overall movie.Couple that with the enormous amount of questions that went unanswered and the movie failed to reach its full potential. They went so far as to end it with the door left wide open for a sequel. Maybe "Parallels" is from a series of books and we've just seen book 1, I don't know. If so, then they have me as a viewer for the sequel. If not, then this was a criminally bad ending.

Jon Howell If you like a couple Slider episodes combined into a full feature length movie, you'll like Parallels. This movie has nothing original on the parallel-Earths theme except a nice looking high rise building, on the exterior, that's completely trashed and tagged on the interior, as the inter-universe vehicle. The key characters come with their own story- line from their original Earth life, a boxing brother and an Ivy League sister with family issues and their nerd-alert lawyer friend from the neighborhood. My fav character is the alluring Constance Wu, who joins them on the first jump, but plays along with their ignorance when she's obviously an experienced traveler. This script creates more questions than it answers, the doppelgangers the travelers find are kind of funny, there is fair to middling action . . . .and that's about it. It views like a TV pilot that never got funded for a full series.

Jerghal Parallels is about a building that travels through time. I was intended to be a TV series. Fox decided not to go forward but still dump the pilot into a film. That's not always a bad thing (cfr. Mulholland Drive) but it does create a film with a big cliffhanger/open ending and some unexplained stuff. It was also based on a Japanese Manga called Sprite but that might be just in concept. I can't really recommend it coz it goes nowhere and I'm not convinced it would have made a great series either. It would have been one of those 'Lost' like series where you get maybe one answer and 20 questions on top of that. They stretch out stuff that needs to be answered a lot quicker and that is why series are cheap. This TV film didn't look to expensive either and you get okay but unknown actors too.
