13 September 2015. This is a quite frustrating movie because it's obviously not a movie but a pilot episode for a television series. What's striking about this movie is that is has much more in common with such television series as Lost in Space (1965), Sliders (1995), The Lost Room (2006), and Fringe (2008). The basic sci fi theme is great and refreshing but the actors are also let down by a script that contains lame dialogue and cliché character quirks and behavior. Unfortunately The Lost in Space presentation as corny as it was, was even better than Parallels at its handling consistency in intelligent thought and behavior. Overall, this movie doesn't really end and is irritating in a good way in that it presented a promise of how fantastic this series could have been.
