The Gateway

I'm writing to you from my own parallel world. Don't try to come here b/c once you leave your own world you can never return. It's just endless jumps from one world to the next & never back to the one b/4.

Once you put aside the complete scientific impossibility, you're in for quite an adventure. Yin-Yang, push & push back, everything has consequences or cause & affect. As a scientist, Jane's choice is quite irrational, but it makes for good story telling. Suspenseful & thrilling.

So what's your current situation? Are you in a dark place, desperate enough to make an irrational decision like Jane? What would you do?

The Gateway is the kind of movie that gets a lot milleage with very little budget, few actors and a couple of interesting ideas very well used. It is far from perfect but the situations becomes interesting after the first 15 minutes and albeit predictable still hold it until the very end. There are a few things that could look forced and some special effects cheap (perhaps somewhat campy), but fulfill the needs of the movie.

Acting is just acceptable but being the main character a middle age woman gives some coherence to absurd decisions.

In brief; not Oscar worthy but a good example of how much you can do with far less than any standard Hollywood pic

This was great for a low budget movie , it never had a dull moment , was interesting throughout and the film flew by which is always a good sign ,,i loved the main lady character you could really connect with her and in all a very enjoyable and thought provoking movie , ignore the reviews picking holes in this movie i think they must be living in a parallel universe watching a different movie to knock this entertaining film ,

So Scientists Open a portal to a parallel dimension, and science woman brings her formerly dead ex hubbie home to her world, where he finds out he has kids that he never had in his own world. And he also seems to be quite the weirdo.

Okay, low budget, obviously, but really the story was somewhat interesting. I got to give them some credit. Opening the Star Trek / Twilight Zone Pandora's Box paradigm of alternate dimensions is quite an undertaking and they did pretty well here. And I liked the ending.... 6/10

I'm an old man who has loved Sci-Fi since a small child. You should have seen what we had back in the day. This is a very enjoyable film for its production budget. I thought the ending left an opening for a sequel or two, or even a miniseries. Hope they get some budget backing to make it happen.
