This is a solid sci fi and a solid drama. Unlike some other films that play with parallel universes, this film didn't have any glaring logical errors or annoying tricks that get the protagonists exactly where they need to be. By the end. Parallel keeps things neat and succinct. It left me feeling curious about the world of the film, but with complete satisfaction about what the script has offered.

It's not the most perfect sci fi flick, but with the small cast and the limited setting, it is so engaging. I'm not sure what exactly I was expecting going into this film, but I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely not worth the low ratings! Give it a watch!

I'm not sure what we are supposed to get from this film. Are we supposed to laugh at Peter Dinklage hurting himself? Are we supposed to feel warm with the ending scene? Unfortunately, this film was lost in its tone and made it unremarkable and uninteresting. Characters are flat without any interesting attributes to them or growth throughout the events that unfold. Scenes feel like they have been written by an underperforming novelist who can't figure out how to connect them. The women in this film are one dimensional and seem to only care about sleeping with Dinklage's character, who is a complete fool and drunken slob. A touching moment Dinklage and MacLaine's characters share seems to come out of nowhere, as these characters barely speak to each other about anything true or meaningful. This film was really disappointing and although Dinklage's and MacLaine's performances were great, they could not save this film's life.
