I didn't know what I was getting myself into here when I sat down to watch the 2019 sci-fi movie "Portals". I hadn't even checked IMDb prior to watching it, which I might should have, and have had a heads up with the low rating the movie had received.
Regardless, I sat down to watch the movie, and it never really caught my attention. And I managed to endure 50 minutes of "Portals" before I tossed the towel in the ring and called it quits. And twice during those prolonged 50 minutes were I at the brink of giving up prematurely, but I endured until I simply couldn't take any more of the suffering.
A few things in the movie proved a little bit interesting, but the directors just failed utterly to make it worthwhile and interesting. And get this, four directors, yes you read that right, four directors worked on this, and still each and everyone failed completely.
The storyline is weak and rather pointless, and while the movie actually was adequately paced, there was just nothing of any interest happening throughout most of the 50 minutes I endured.
The acting in the movie was adequate, but also suffering from the script and storyline being so atrocious, which essentially resulted in the character gallery being mundane and flaccid.
I have zero interest in returning to watch the rest of "Portals", because it just failed utterly to interest me and didn't appeal to me on any level. As such, I am rating the movie three out of ten stars, based on the production value that they had in the movie. That at least counted for something, but it couldn't do anything to salvage the movie from sliding fast downhill.
