My interpretation of this movie is that they are living in a post apocalyptic world after the rapture and it's dangerous so this small area has a kind of law to keep the peace. This guy finds out there's a way to get to paradise even though the rapture has already happened and these remaining people were not raptured. He follows the clues into the lawless desert and in the end finds a skull which after meditating on it's meaning he realizes that the skull is death so that is the way. He asks the other guy to bury him so that he can die and enter paradise the only way possible. He is buried, dies, and his soul awakens at the door in which he enters Paradise. The girl on the bench in Paradise tells him to imagine whatever he wants but he realizes he wants to go through another door to return to where he came from because he left his brother behind.

Did they even try ?
ropipgi-581-48716627 June 2021
The first 15 minutes actually had a story and characters, but afterthat we are looking on 50 minutes of things happening without rhyme or reason.
It is almost as they started with an unfinished script, and then the xcriptwriter went on a world tour and left the filmcrew in the dust, with lot of film to finish, without a story.
I have nothing against surreal movies with symbolism and religious themes, but this movie failed even that. Massive waste of time and money.

Probably the worst movie I've watched

Ummm OK....

Nothing about this movie made any sense at all. All throughout I caught myself saying, "Wait, what?" No questions answered, no details explained, and no ending at all.
It just stops.
I was hoping for a new movie that involved some good post rapture Scifi (since this movie is set 7 years after the rapture) but there was nothing. It didn't even have anything to do with Christianity or the Bible which is where the idea of the rapture comes from. I was expecting to AT LEAST roll my eyes at some preaching. Nope... nothing.
This movie had literally no point, reason, or story to it.

Meh...

If only there was an Academy Award category for most nonsensical movie...
I have had fever-induced dreams that were less bizzare, not to mention more intersting. I still have to give it a 2 though for some decent acting, music and nice scenery, even if all that stuff accomplishes to do is to make this turd of a movie a little more shiny.
This movie is exceptional in its creativity.

This movie pushes the limits in storytelling, in a very creative way. The main character is going through a personal process of which he is willing risk everything in his current Life. The reason I can see that many people do not "like" this movie, is because it is challenging them to think and piece together what is going on.
Highly symbolic
savindwales21 March 2021
This movie is highly symbolic and relies too heavily on symbolism and too little on moving the plot along in a rational fashion. There is a story here but it feels lost between all the images of lifelines, baptism, burial, death, rebirth, faith, and VHS tapes. I suppose the good tape is a modern version of the good word, but I would have picked Betamax.
No idea what this is about

3 Because I Finished It
tsroque19 March 2021
I must not be worthy of the door because I didn't understand this movie, one bit! It started off as 7 years after the Rapture. The direction of the movie, after that, just went all over the place. More like an acid trip, than finding Jesus, which is the real door!
Don't watch it

Bewildering

Painstaking slow and you're constantly waiting for something to happen
Xavier_Stone20 March 2021
Nothing really happens or is explained. Then you realize you're 20 minutes into the movie and you still have zero idea what's going on. Almost like it puts you into a trance, and that's not a good thing.
Pulled the plug after 20 mins, read reviews here and found out I'm never going to find out the point of this film.

Sitting in line is more fun than this movie
rogalam27 March 2021
I was watching this film and had no idea what is happening the entire time, think about it in 73 minutes you could play a game of monopoly with your family and it would be much more fun, than a guy looking for a door with no plot, explanation, story line, decisions. Honestly I would have more fun just thinking about a funny joke my friend said the other day, PLEASE DONT WATCH THIS IS YOU VALUE THIS 1 HOUR OF YOUR LIFE.
Tried too hard
rosanna-833356 April 2021
It wanted to be a symbolic film of the struggles, self descovery, finding a higher meaning, your journey through life. Problem, it went way too far and became utter nonsense.it was impossible to actually understand what the really journey was (on a spiritual level). Some parts were severable like life lines and at the end grass isn't always greener on the other side (at least I think that was the moral at the end) . But really not with anyone's time.
Familiar feeling
kalmanz21 March 2021
Filme experimental.
marciofreirerj27 September 2021
Para quem busca um filme hollywood, blockbuster, vai se decepcionar. O final é aberto e o filme tem constantes flashbacks. Se passa quase todo em uma atmosfera de sonho. Parece muito uma versão simplificada de Stalker do Tarkovski, se você gosta desse tipo de filme vai se interessar por esse.
Less then 1 star

Rubbish

interesting
evavalerie28 March 2021
It might be considered waste of time for people who has not been through the self journey of their own..but the idea of the movie is actually very interesting, also quite abstract therefore it maybe could not reflect the plot very well and the acting was so so.. yet I suggest for people to watch it, not to enjoy a movie but to understand our attitude towards life in general!
Needs more thoughtful character/story development
KoaOnaona6 April 2023
I'll give this three starts on the merits of: acting, cinematography and atmosphere setting.
All of those elements were enjoyable, which is why I was able to make it to the end of the movie.
However, the biggest challenge with this film is the characters made choices that made no sense to the story and situations they were in. Their choices were used as devices to drive the plot forward, but the plot was incoherent because the character choices made no sense.
I can appreciate having the viewer fill in the gaps with their own interpretations of symbolism, but you do have to give at least a few original plot points that knit it all together in a way that can be plausible, even in a sci-fi world. Or at the very least allow your characters to do something sensible that the viewer can believe and feel sympathetic/empathetic toward.
The moment characters start making nonsensical choices, the fantasy is suspended and you're brought back to the reality of this being a film. Then the cascade of doubt starts because you're now judging everything rather than enjoying the story.
Good effort by the cast and crew. It just needs more fulsome character and story development.
I would still recommend watching, but keep lower expectations of how satisfied you'll feel by the end of understanding the 'why' behind the plot.
