After his wife is killed in a hit-and-run accident by a mysterious Hooded Man, Theoretical Physicist Dylan Brandt builds a Quantum Suicide Machine to jump through parallel universes to find another version of his wife. Based on the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, where a man storms of the Gates of Hades to return his wife to the land of the living, Dylan transverses infinite worlds of the Multi-verse to find his wife. But with every jump, Dylan is thwarted by the efforts of the mysterious Hooded Man, until the rules of physics completely break down, threatening to destroy the universe and everything in it.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This movie has an interesting plot, but it has been done many times before and a lot better, even with the same ending revelation.My main problem with this movie, assuming it is not a different version, is the ludicrous voice of the very old Asian professor, which sounds like a Caucasian teenager. My family and I (including our youngest son and daughter) could not stop laughing at how it simply did not work. I am not sure why they did this as they could at least have gotten an older male to dub the voice in.The other problem is that, halfway through, I ended up wondering which scene would be repeated next, as the second half is just a literal repeat of the first half, but from a different viewpoint, that is, the other version of the main character, and then there are many versions of him which just gets a bit silly at the end. This subtracts greatly from the movie, as you already know what is coming, even the end, which is the same as other movies with this plot.Still, it is interesting enough to warrant a 6, I think.

Just watched this on Steam, and I gotta say it was pretty trippy. I knew he was the hooded man from the start, but that didn't bother me. There's about a thousand things that happen that make this film a real wild ride for sure. I don't watch a lot of Science films, so I can't really say how this measures up int he genre, but it really kept my attention and made me want to discuss it more. I'm gonna watch it a couple more times before my rental expires, but there is a lot going on with this film. It's definitely a thinking man's film, so I can see why some people might not get it or like it, but if you're a science buff and love subtle yet thought provoking tales, high recommend!

I really enjoyed this film. It's up there on the philosophical and intellect spectrum so not everyone is going to get it, but if you like films that require a great deal of thinking, it's right up your alley. It is low budget, but looks way better than most of the low budget films I've seen like Pi and Primer that reminded me of it. I actually watched this several times, because it's the type of film that sticks with you and leaves you thinking about it long after you've seen it the first time. If you are a science fiction lover and enjoy the "thinking man's film", then this film is for you. This is the first movie I've seen about the quantum suicide machine, but I did a great of deal research on it after watching it. I was very impressed at how the film took the subject matter and was able to combine it into a really heart felt love story. Highly recommend checking it out if you can find it!

An OK'ish low budget sci-fi movie with an somewhat interesting premise that involves parallel universes and it's the first movie I have seen that uses the quantum suicide machine. The parallel universes weren't handled in the way that many world's theory suggest's so that was a disappointment. The visual effects and cgi are pretty bad, but understandable given the low budget of the movie. The acting is poor, especially the Asian professor. The movie isn't completely trash however. There are some interesting moment's and set pieces (if you want to call it that), but overall I would not recommend it.4/10
