Singularity Principle (2013) watch online HD

I watched this with my friends and most of them went on an on afterwards about how they thought it was boring... I really enjoyed watching it though; it was science fiction but with a lot of actual science in it, in this case the outcomes of tampering with parallel universes. At one point or another, we've all dreamed (or feared) the possibility of time travel, alternate dimensions, that sort of thing. How often have you wished you could relive your younger years, or a really good memory? How many times have you watched The Twilight Zone and wondered if it could one day be a reality? Well, this movie explores these ideas, and much more, in a fictional sense with actual scientific theory applied. We're introduced to Dr. Tanning (Micheal Denis) and the man interrogating him, Lawrence Carson (William B. Davis). Lawrence's ambitions are more sinister than Tanner could ever fear and Tanner's goal is to prove his sanity... and to prove that his partner, Dr. Brenner, disappeared for a valid reason involving parallel universes.

Micheal Denis was a great choice for his role, I hadn't seen him in any other roles so it was interesting to see him play Dr. Tanning. I'm a really big fan of William B. Davis (Cigarette Smoking Man on The X-Files), he's my favorite actor, and he was excellent in his role as always. The soundtrack was pretty good, the plot was original, all in all this movie was better than I'd expected. My friends had told me it'd be a lame sci-fi movie we could make fun of, but it turned out to have a lot of depth to it. It's not perfect, but it's still totally worth your time if you want to pass the time with something insightful.

Singularity Principle: 6 out of 10: A physicist experimenting with wormholes and the like may have created a bridge to an alternate universe. Or he might have had a psychotic break. Is his wife really leaving him for a resort owning oil baron who fixes cars named Buck? Will the labs RA shut down the experiment due to the spikes in electrical usage and the radiation glow? Will a local band get a five-minute cameo? All these questions will be answered by the Singularity Principle.

The Good: Fans of this movie (I am generously using the plural as the only fan I know of at this time is my wife) will tell you that the movie was written and directed by Dr. David Deranian a real-life physicist. And you know what I can tell for both good and bad. On the good side, the physics are well presented and dumbed down just enough to follow along. The science will keep one interested when other aspects of the story fail to impress.

Also for a limited (very limited) budget, they do a good job looking like it takes place at a physics lab. I'm guessing that they filmed on location at Dr.Deranian's own lab but credit where credit is due. The special effects are also decent and they don't try to cash checks they don't have the money or talent for.

The Bad: You want to know the downside of having a Physicist write your screenplay. You get characters like Buck the tall, rich, wife stealer. In fact, much of the dialogue and non-physics story steers dangerously into James Nguyen territory.

The Ugly: There is a local band (they are decent) and the main character plays the double bass. So let's kill some time at the bar. I swear they filmed the wrap party and put it in the middle of the film.

In Conclusion: If you can get past the very limited budget, the occasional awkward dialogue, and story beat, and Buck cuckolding everything that moves you are in for an interesting dissertation on some physics principles wrapped in the warm blanket of science fiction.
