Under Parallel Skies features two people who haven’t met before, but begin to live each other’s lives in different realities. They try to grasp the connection between them and, as it often is, come face to face with inner struggles and suppressed emotions. The film differentiates itself as a romantic sci-fi drama that tackles themes of fate versus free will.
Cast:
Timothée Chalamet as the male lead
Zendaya as the female lead
Paul Rudd as the quirky scientist helping them
Positive Aspects:
Very interesting story with good cinematography and quite decent visualizations of parallel worlds.
The chemistry between Zendaya and Chalamet provides Emil, the narrative, with a good emotional base.
Moves smoothly with sci fi ideas but does not let them eclipse the love story.
Negative Aspects:
Those who prefer a sense of reality in sci fiction may find it less satisfying.
The most loyal crowd might find the speed of the film slow as it is not a basic love story.
