Portals

Portals is currently streaming in the US on fuboTV and Plex, and in the UK on Amazon Prime Video, and it earns its premise rather than just borrowing genre trappings. The length is exactly right for the story it is telling — nothing rushed, nothing dragged out. With 49 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Deanna Russo leads a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. Put it on tonight on fuboTV and see for yourself.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Portals earns its spot. Portals uses its genre premise as cover for asking bigger questions. A series of worldwide blackouts cause millions of mysterious cosmic anomalies to appear everywhere across the planet. Some people are drawn into them with horrifying consequences. Deanna Russo and Neil Hopkins lead a cast that keeps the bigger ideas grounded in something human. It hit screens in 2019. The world-building is meticulous enough to sustain multiple rewatches, with details early on that only make sense later. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge, Portals fits the bill. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Deanna Russo anchors it with a performance that makes the more abstract moments feel personal. If you have been burned by ambitious sci-fi before, this is the exception.

Portals was released in 2019, directed by Gregg Hale. The full 85-minute film is available to watch now.
