Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSuch films are called anthology films (also known as omnibus films, package films, or portmanteau films), that are a single film consisting of several shorter films, each complete in itself and distinguished from the other, though frequently tied together by a single theme, premise, or author. Another film on almost identical plot, Portals (2019), was also an anthology film.
- Goofs25 minutes and 18 seconds in, the word 'appeared' is spelled 'appeard'. This is in the print of the film showing on Sky Cinema.
- Quotes
Alan (interstitials): Their intelligence allows them to operate on a complex, multidimensional reality. They are everything all at once. We are them, they are us. You can even consider them God, but more.

And I should just have put it back and left it alone. Wow, this movie was a massive swing and a miss from directors Saman Kesh, Jeff Desom and Dugan O'Neal.
The storyline was a heap of rubbish. I have to admit that I never really caught on to what this movie was about, aside from strange portals popping up around the world. But after that, the movie never made much sense, and it utterly failed to provide me with any level of entertainment. And believe you me, it was a massive struggle to sit through the ordeal that is known as "Doors".
This 2021 sci-fi movie had Chris White, Saman Kesh, Jeff Desom and Ed Hobbs as writers, and it just baffles me that four writers can collectively manage to elude delivering something entertaining and fulfilling.
I suppose the acting performances in "Doors" were adequate, but it was hard to focus on the actors and actresses in the movie, as I was literally struggling to find just an ounce of interest in the abysmal storyline. I wasn't familiar with anyone on the cast list, which is usually a good thing and something I enjoy, but in "Doors" I just couldn't connect with any of the characters, nor did I ever form any kind of interest or bond with any of them, as I simply just didn't care about it. They were not rooted in a profound storyline, as since nothing made sense here, why bother?
Usually I am not overly keen on sci-fi movies, and something like the 2021 movie "Doors" is the reason why I tend to not jump at every single sci-fi movie that I stumble upon.
Now, I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movie such as "Doors". I, however, wasn't part of that particular target audience.
I am rating "Doors" a meager, but generous, two out of ten stars. This was such a waste of time.
