This is an (unoriginal) idea about parallel universes. You know...The kind which everything is TOTALLY different but still there is another "you" out there. i.e. Extraordinary events led to a ...nuclear war but still, your mama and your papa existed and they met, and they had sex exactly the same time, where 1 out of half a billion of spermatozoids of your father merged with that specific ovum to create ..."you", looking exactly the same except a different ...haircut.
Such an incomplete and full of holes idea can't lead to anything else but an incomplete and full of holes movie.
And Parallels is exactly that. Don't expect ANY answers in the end about what is happening and why. The plot is something a 6 y.o. could think. You have a "plot device" and...that's about it. The guy who wrote, directed and produced this, is totally clueless on what is happening. Sometimes I really miss movies like the Matrix, a proper sci-fi concept where everything is explained, and make sense.
This is low budget movie. No heavy special effects here, but that is the least of this movie's problems. The actors are unknown for me, but I, kind of, enjoyed Constance Wu's performance.
As I'm reading this was supposed to be the pilot for a series. Still that's not an excuse for the lack of completion. Be aware this movie hasn't got an ending open to interpretation (which I also hate). It simply has no ending at all.
