Doors - A World Beyond

The movie starts off well in a school classroom but sinks deep into a mess never to see any of the actors in a number of segments again. What keeps the segments together is a radio voice over a time period, then refreshes and the film concludes.

The film achieves nothing. It tends to emulate Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, but fails completely, leaving nothing but imaginary baloney.

The only good look of the movie is its deceptive poster.

Right, well I must say that I was lured in to watching the 2021 sci-fi movie given the movie's cover/poster. It seemed fairly interesting, and I will admit that reading the movie's synopsis was the thing that made me want to watch it.

And I should just have put it back and left it alone. Wow, this movie was a massive swing and a miss from directors Saman Kesh, Jeff Desom and Dugan O'Neal.

The storyline was a heap of rubbish. I have to admit that I never really caught on to what this movie was about, aside from strange portals popping up around the world. But after that, the movie never made much sense, and it utterly failed to provide me with any level of entertainment. And believe you me, it was a massive struggle to sit through the ordeal that is known as "Doors".

This 2021 sci-fi movie had Chris White, Saman Kesh, Jeff Desom and Ed Hobbs as writers, and it just baffles me that four writers can collectively manage to elude delivering something entertaining and fulfilling.

I suppose the acting performances in "Doors" were adequate, but it was hard to focus on the actors and actresses in the movie, as I was literally struggling to find just an ounce of interest in the abysmal storyline. I wasn't familiar with anyone on the cast list, which is usually a good thing and something I enjoy, but in "Doors" I just couldn't connect with any of the characters, nor did I ever form any kind of interest or bond with any of them, as I simply just didn't care about it. They were not rooted in a profound storyline, as since nothing made sense here, why bother?

Usually I am not overly keen on sci-fi movies, and something like the 2021 movie "Doors" is the reason why I tend to not jump at every single sci-fi movie that I stumble upon.

Now, I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movie such as "Doors". I, however, wasn't part of that particular target audience.

I am rating "Doors" a meager, but generous, two out of ten stars. This was such a waste of time.

I wish movies now a days would get a good story and actually stick with it. This movie was all over the board and started off strong, then got strange and then I got completely lost. I would not recommend this movie unless you just had nothing better to do and are already bored out of your mind.

This is a bad film, i just did not care, bad story, bad acting, amateurly made. just dont bother.

I saw the reviews were pretty low, but the concept sounded intriguing and I gave it a try anyway.

The reviews are correct however - this really isn't that good.

Overall, I think of it as a collection of 4 shorts that all have a central scenario - the arrival of mysterious objects they decide to call "Doors", and different ways people interact with them.

And that's it. I have my theory on why they showed up and what their purpose is, but I want to keep it spoiler free. It seems pretty clear based on a few big giveaways that the one door itself reveals, and a certain scene at the very end of the 3rd part.
