Doors

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

There is nothing to misunderstand in Doors - it is simply a low budget production that mainly drags on and on and on. Limited budget, limited acting skills, four more or less boring episodes. They should have put all the money and ideas in one short movie to get attention for their vision and maybe then collect a budget enough to make a real movie, but the script for Doors would have needed still some serious editing and reworking.

Four high school students are stuck in detention when something starts happening in the world. That is the first section in this movie which is split into different parts. The first section is a fascinating Twilight Zone story with four unknown young actors. It's twenty minutes. It could have been a fine full length sci-fi horror but it skips to the next section. The second section has Josh Peck, Lina Esco, and Dugan O'Neal in a group. Dugan is a co-writer and co-director of the movie. What I like least about this section is the attempt at light-heart pranking. The world is newly apocalyptic and Josh Peck keeps joking around. It's annoying. The movie disintegrates over time as each section has its own disjointed tone within this world. I'd rather they stuck with the four kids and keep going with their story. It wouldn't be great but at least, it would have a chance at being functional.

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.

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.
