    Awful

    The super positive reviews here must be friends and family of the cast, because this was just atrocious.

    The male lead's acting was so pretentious I thought this was a comedy when it first started. Super smart guy just knows stuff...because? Whatever.

    The pacing of the story just feels "off". Why was this a tv series, again? Each episode is 15 minutes, and there are only 6...just make it a movie! Are films so bad nowadays that studios carve them up in post production into short tv episodes in an attempt to what, make them seem less dull?

    Mission not accomplished here. So boring, with an incredibly unlikeable cast. Hard, hard pass.

    Excellently filmed & directed.

    So, I've been a big fan of Sawyers work for a few years, and I knew that this would be good, but holy crap. This was freaking beautiful! The cinematography was absolutely stunning, with great VFX and insanely talented actors. Vincent Cyr did an amazing job as playing Jonathan, and I'm not just saying that because my name is Jonathan. He has a bright future ahead of him as an actor. He is also a very talented director too, with his YouTube videos. I've heard that Sawyer's next film is an adaptation of his short "Welcome to Tokyo"? I love that short so much. In the end, the Parallax Theory is absolutely stunning, and I am very proud of Sawyer for making his first feature length film!

    Just awful

    I thought that this might be a cool movie based on its premise. But falls into tropes at almost every turn. This movie had bad acting, bad writing and bad directing. It had no energy, nothin in it to want me to watch The performances were tired and obvious. Please do yourself a favor don't waste 72 minutes on this movie. I gave it 1 star because I couldn't go lower

    Excellent

    Well produced. Great and Epic "What if" Story. I do not understand the negative reviews attached on this IMDb page. They are unhelpful and entirely inaccurate. It seems complete insane that anyone can write anything here, often personal and hateful which has no real information to advise the potential viewer.

    Let me say, this film is in a class of it's own, with the right mix of real character driven plot within an epic notion of impending doom.

    The production is faultless. The story pace is spot on. The acting is professional and convincing. No. I'm not attached to the film in any way in its creation nor am I a relative of someone involved with the film. I came across it, as we do, and I thought it was an excellent film made on a far lower budget than what all those big block busters cost and yet, the film is on a par.

    Awesome!

    I thought this video was awesome. The music and cinematography was very well done. I look forward to more full-length productions by Hartman. The fifth episode was my favorite. It was the most exciting and revealing. I would have liked to watch the video in entirety and not by episode as it was released by Vimeo. I hope it comes out on Netflix or HBO. Both actresses were excellent, especially the actress who played the wife. She had such beautiful expressive eyes. I hope to see more of both and more full length videos by Hartman. It moves slow in the beginning, but gets explosive in Episode 5. Congrats to the Cast and Crew of this new digital form film.
