Directed by Saman Kesh, Jeff Desom, Dugan O'Neal1h 24m2021
Without warning, millions of mysterious alien “doors” suddenly appear around the globe. In a rush to determine the reason for their arrival, mankind must work together to understand the purpose of these cosmic anomalies.
Our read: Doors (2021) reads as a sombre, steady, surreal sci-fi entry — measured in intensity, epic-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Sombre, steady, measured sci-fi, surreal in texture. Nihilistic, epic, cold.
