Info

In his basement in San Francisco, boy-genius Quinn Mallory unlocks the doorway to an infinite number of Earths. During a test run, Quinn invites co-worker Wade Welles and his teacher Professor Maximillian Arturo to see his new invention. But an increase in power and an early departure leave all three, plus a washed-up soul singer named Rembrandt "Crying Man" Brown, lost in a parallel world. Now they must "slide" from world to world, not only adapting to their changing surroundings, but also trying to get back to their world. Will they ever make it home?

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
gilaabramowitz I love this TV show very very much, but it was all over for me once Quinn left. The other Quinn (Malory) just didn't do it for me. Without the professor, wade, and then Quinn, there was nothing left. They should have ended it at season 4. Season 5 was totally unnecessary. The producers should have ended the series with Quinn and Colin finding their home world and their real parents, Maggie staying with them on their world, Remmy sliding back to his world, finds out that the humans defeated the krommags, and reuniting with wade. After that, Quinn and Colin and their parents find a way to improve and control the sliding, so Quinn, Colin and Maggie can visit remmy and wade, and vice verse. That would have been a perfect ending to an amazing show (well, almost perfect, since we lost the professor, whom I loved very much). I didn't even bother watching season five. I have it on DVD and I started watching three times, each time I stopped at the end of the first episode. It was just not interesting anymore. That's just too bad, a poor ending to a great show !!! I would have given it a ten out of ten, if the ending was different.
Dennis Laursen Sliders is an excellent show. Well, it is in the first two seasons. Hereafter it becomes very poor.Sliders is a TV-series about a group on 4 persons, who travel to parallel universes, where several historical events went different.Season 1 and 2 have some very interesting and (in most cases) well-explained worlds. For example: what if USSR won the Cold War? USA never become independent, and remains a British colony? Or if the worlds population where only 10 % of our worlds? For a history- and sci-fi-interested person like me, these two seasons are great! However, a couple of the worlds are also poor explained, and one of the episode, a vampire world, are even silly!In season 3 it goes downhill. The concept from season 1 and 2 remains, but now ALL the worlds are both silly, dull and very poor explained (if explained at all). Furthermore, many of the episodes in season 3 are copy of existing movies (like Nightmare on Elm Street).Season 4 actually becomes quite better than season 3. The worlds are still poor made, but season 4 introduce a new, overall plot, with roots in one of the last episodes in season 2. But this main story/plot only have a little development through the season, and many of the episodes are quite irrelevant for the overall plot.Season 5. Well, I didn't even watch this... Only the first episode. And we are now so far away from the original show, and it now becomes so bad, that I have no patience to watch the whole season 5.I would really recommend season 1 and 2! But you won't miss anything, by stopping after season 2. On the contrary, by stopping after season 2, you won't se the bad sides of the show.My season-based ratings: Season 1 & 2: 8,0. Season 3: 2,5. Season 4: 3,0. Season 5: Haven't seenMy overall rating is an average of my season-based ratings. Since IMDb won't let you rate TV-series on seasons, but only either a single season, or the show as a whole, I must do it this way.
AaronCapenBanner Jerry O'Connell played Quinn Mallory, a young college student who invents an inter-dimensional wormhole that takes him, his friend Wade,(Sabrina Lloyd) Professor Arturo(John Rhys Davies), and innocent bystander and singer Rembrandt Brown(Cleavant Derricks) on a seemingly unending journey. Their adventures traveling into different Earths were entertaining and sometimes thought-provoking, and continued this way until Arturo left the series in dramatic fashion...Then he was replaced by actress Kari Wurher, who played Maggie, and that was where the third season started going wrong, with too many episodes being rip- offs of genre films; rather than imagination, action became the norm.Fourth season saw the departure of Wade in a cold-hearted plot thread that was never resolved properly. Jerry's brother Charlie joined the cast as his brother Colin, and I found his innocent character a breath of fresh air, and some really good episodes lie ahead, though over-reliance on invaders called Kromaggs became a problem.Fifth and last season saw the departure of both O'Connell brothers, whose fates as written and presented were the stupidest thing possible; so bad was this season that some just ignore it as featuring an eerily similar group of sliders...such a thing wasn't without precedence! Whole series is on DVD; bring back the original cast, and "kick start" some new adventures!
Angelus2 A scientist creates a device that enables him to travel through different parallel worlds...But there is a problem...They cannot get back home...I watched this show as a youngster and was taken in by the variety of worlds that existed...This was probably my first exposure to sci-fi shows and movies...Not a very bad one at all. Now, I'm a older and I have watched far greater shows with far greater writing as well as acting, so compared to other shows this may not hold as well...I really enjoyed the episode were they arrive on a world full of dinosaurs and the world were they meet the army officer...A fun show nonetheless.
