"Parallel" was a better-than-expected science fiction drama. A year following the death of their son Obie, Vanessa (Danielle Deadwyler) her husband (Aldis Hodge), and his brother (Edwin Hodge) go on a retreat to his father's cabin-in-the-woods. They claim Dad was crazy as he talked about other universes. A project was conducted nearby, but the shutdown. It was returned to the forest. Early in the film, Vanessa goes out alone only to see herself shooting at her. Later she sees her brother-in-law leave one door and enter another. Later in the film she meets a version of her husband who explains the plot and advises Vanessa to pick one instead of trying to get back to her original universe.
