This is my first IMDb review after many years of reading them. Created an account just to say this movie is better than the low reviews would have you believe. I typically don't watch anything below a 5/10. Took a chance on this and was pleasantly surprised. I agree with the other reviewer that said the low reviews are probably due to "...ism". But I won't get into that. This is my favorite genre and film was great. Lovely architecture, ambience, and forest scenery. I would give it a 6.5 for acting and dialog but the premise and setting bumped it up to an 8 for me. Enough twists and turns to keep it interesting. Meaningful, satisfying ending. Give it a watch!

Way better than expected!
Well made and entertaining
I really enjoyed this movie. Respect to any team that can pull off a low budget production with only 3 cast and keep me engaged start to finish. An interesting plot, solid acting and quality cinematography. No special effects here, but the sci-fi/ mystery theme had enough interesting twists to satisfy this sci-fi fan.
Starring Danielle Deadwyler (also executive producer) and Aldis and Edwin Hodge (also writers).
Based on the 2019 Chinese movie 'Parallel Forest'. Could be worth checking this one out too.
I don't usually write reviews. When I saw the low rating I felt liking giving my support. There are so many rubbish movies that deserve low ratings. This movie is actually decent. Give it a try. I'm glad I did.
Awesome directing
I really enjoyed the movie. At first, I was a little skeptical, but as I kept watching, I was getting more and more into the movie as it went on. I guess I was a little skeptical of the movie at first, because knowing going into it, there were only three unknown actors in the whole movie. The dialogue and the writing was not the strong point but directing and cinematography made it worth watching. As you get into the movie, it pulls you in and it begins to get really interesting, especially when they start going into different parallel dimensions. I especially enjoyed the ending! The movie was shot in Vancouver Canada and was beautiful. I don't usually do reviews but I felt I need to do this because I really enjoy the directing and cinematography. Kourosh Ahari did a fantastic job at directing this movie.
It's a must watch-rate it yourself. I give it 10 stars.
