Review of Parallels

Parallels (I) (2015)
Everyone Compares This to "Sliders"
10 March 2015
An underground MMA fighter must confront his sister and his past in an adventure through parallel universes.

Apparently this was supposed to be a television series, but was not picked up, so then got turned into a film. That, of course, leaves it without some closure. Despite that, it is still pretty decent. Everyone compares it to "Sliders", and that is a fair comparison, but it also has a different feel to it, especially given that the central character here is actually a building.

At one point someone mentions an "earth so perfect it is basically heaven", which calls to mind Leibniz and his idea of the "best of all possible worlds". Was this intentional? Probably not. But it makes an interesting concept to explore in a show / film about multiple earths.
