What people are saying
- Gimly★ 5/10
Much more interesting in concept than it was good in practice, Portals exists in this weird psuedo-anthology format, where it both is and isn't a series of related short films, and is and isn't one story that sometimes switches perspectives. This "in-between" factor works to the detriment of Portals which never really gets a cohesive movie out of its very cool idea. Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
