Mila no Multiverso

Mila a teenager living with her single mom, suddenly finds herself in an another universe, while trying to peace together why this is happening to her, in hopes to find her mother and trying to get back to her universe.

I never had a problem with the other language speaking, watching the subtitles. But I enjoyed the characters, and the mystery surrounding everything. You really go on the journey with Mila and her friends, trying to outwit the bad guys. I also like the look of the universe there in. Okay it's not a perfect show but it's entertaining, I understand that it's a show not a movie, so it seems to take it's time.

This production has some pros:

• Convincing teen (or so) actors and
• some nicely build environments

but several cons:

• adult actors that act as if they were teens and
• below average story, production values and CGI

So, for me it is a notch above the usual Disney channel quality for teen productions, and I probably will not continue to watch.

What I don't get are the reviews here that votes the series down, because Disney+ airs them only in the original audio. This is a flaw that has nothing to do with the series, and is highly unfair. If one is not able or willing to read, he or she should bring the protest to Disney, not spoiling the efforts of the persons involved in the production, they have nothing to do with the presentation in Disney+.

Of course, I also don't get the plethora of ten point ratings, friends & family maybe?

This back story for Mila, is interesting even for adults. Still a story where teen don't tryst adults or adults are represented as people who don't listen, like Mila's disconnected mother. That said the universes are interesting, the operators are scary and the bad guy/gal are foreboding. I haven't watched all the episodes, yet, so no spoilers. I can't say if today's teens would enjoy this film, but it's a great opportunity to introduce young people to foreign films that aren't in their native language and get them to practice reading subtitles. I prefer this to dubbing, Dubbing gets in the way of viewing actors performances in my opinion. I have watched many films in Spanish, Mandarin and French, but only a few in Portuguese. It was fun.

I do maintain that the adults in teen movies are poorly written, lacking depth and sensitivity. Given how poorly Mila's mother treated her, why is she even looking for her? What kind of back story doesn't explain this incongruous? Maybe they will do an episode to cover it. I hope the future episodes treat adults with more respect and realism. As these Multiverses are dangerous and the operators destroy them, it's a serious topic that I believe teenagerscwould appreciate. Treating it lightly seems very unlikely.

The characters straddle the fine line between being wholesome role models while still feeling real enough that kids will identify with them. The only bummer for kids who don't know Portuguese or Spanish is that the series isn't available dubbed in English, so the subtitle reading could turn away some potential fans. Personally I find the show to be very refreshing and Portuguese is such a beautiful language.

Parents need to know that Mila in the Multiverse is a sci-fi series where characters travel between multiple universes. There's a fair amount of scariness and violence -- the evil Operator characters are pretty foreboding, and frequently make threats on the characters' lives. While the content is great for tweens, viewers who don't know Portuguese or Spanish will need to read subtitles of the dialogue; the amount of reading may make it more suitable for slightly older kids.

It's so good!

Mila, a 15 year old schoolgirl, lives with her mother who spends most time in her laboratory. In Milas birthday her Mum wants to reveal a really special present to her, but on her way to pick Mila up from school she gets an unwelcomed visit from "the operators" and vanishes. The series accompanies Mila and her friends on the search for her mother.

For anyone expecting Dr. Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) or more references to the MCU blockbusters - sorry to disappoint. But it's a good story about friendship, family and growing up for a (still) young audience.

Currently it is only in portuguese/spanisch available, but with english subtitles (and other languages as well).
