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?

Sliders Audience Reviews

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
briandoodo I did not watch this show when it first aired. I'm reviewing it having seen it all in it's entirety for the first time. The first season was charming. The characters were engaging,the stories will hold your interest for a while... but , after a while we had characters like the professor leaving the show because the writers were "stupid and un-original". As the series went on, it did seem to lack original ideas. It was cheesy, hammy and by no means in my book a true science fiction series. It may have a science fiction premise, but the quality of it's scripts and plots waver from OK to mediocre, most the time. When I say mediocre, it's something to watch, it's entertaining but it's nothing exceptional...honestly. There may be times where you wonder why you're watching it, or how you rather be watching something else... Hell, I could rate this series a 6 from season 1 to 5... It's not an intelligent pseudo science series for the most part. They slide to planets with zombies, dinosaurs, so on.... It's not a deep series like Star Trek Generations or The Twilight Zone...The series will not wow you with it's story lines, pseudo science, science fiction plots... I honestly wondered why I kept watching through out, but truth be told the series grows on you..It' s over all an entertaining TV series, but the first few seasons slightly over rated... This series went through many rocky changes and transitions because the talent and writers and crew did not work well together and then there were problems with the network. To stick it through, you have to get used to less than mind blowing plots, for the most part and characters that have really grown on you disappearing at sudden notice. The season that has the most criticism is the final two seasons. To be quite honest, regardless of Quinn leaving the series, who is the main character... the later seasons have some of the deeper plots. The later, last seasons if you watch them, especially after the first one or two episodes of season 5 when Quinn leaves have the most intelligent stories.... It's hard at first to get used to Quinn leaving because it's so sudden, and the writer's do a terrible job writing him out. I almost stopped watching there...But, once you get past that ... there are some pretty fascinating plots in Season 5... Once the season will gets on it's own legs, it has some of the deepest plots, story lines of the entire series... The series ends in a cliff hanger but nothing unexpected. The cliff hanger was no worse than that of the previous seasons.It's not the worse cliff hanger I've ever seen, sort of like Enterprise that just kills everyone off. Overall, this is not a science fiction masterpiece. It's a cheesy fun, campy 90s TV show... Regardless of what people say about the final two seasons, it is actually a deeper show during those two final seasons. Because of the drama that occurred off screen, characters could and come and the studio faced hardships where sets were reused too frequently. It's an OK series, The sudden changes, lack of intelligent, original plots may put you off however. I enjoyed it, it was something to watch...
Josh Apple Sliders is one of my favorite science fiction shows of all time even in my childhood. Tracy Tormé and Robert K. Weiss created possibly the best sci-fi show of all time if the studio didn't stick their noses into it. about 4 individuals sliding to parallel earths to discover "what if" worlds, like what if USSR taken over USA, or a world were male population are almost extinct, just great stuff for a weekly episodes. the cast are all terrific: Jerry O'Connell (Quinn Mallory), Sabrina Lloyd (Wade Wells), Cleavant Derricks (Rembrandt Brown) and the awesome John-Rhys Davis (Professor Arturo) all share such a great chemistry, sense of humor and character development. 'Seasons 1 & 2' are simply amazing, thanks to good writing, the worlds themselves were creative and at times very clever, great chemistry between all characters and just pure fun entertainment. 'Season 3' was a huh... well a very mixed-bag season. it's around that season, the series saw some major changes. FOX network took creative control away from the creator/show-runner Tracy Tormé due to creative differences and being replaced with the executive producer David Peckinpah as the show runner, he is partially responsible for the series jumping-the-shark and the drop in quality. first problem i notice was the change in tone, it's more going for action packed season that falls between serious and silly at the same time, Quinn Mallory's personality changes so frequently and dramatically in this season. from a likable misfit to a cold self-centered jerk, helping other people is more important then he's friends which is so out-of-character for him. Wade also changed a bit, she's a little preachier, but has really great subtle moments. Rembrandt and Arturo are the only ones that are consistent with their personalities. first couple episodes are as good as the first two seasons, but then there are the painful "monster/movie rip-offs of the week" episodes. few of the movie rip-off episodes are watchable despite the poor writing, but unfortunately most of them are predictable, boring and borderline terrible, even by sliders standers. due to decline in quality John-Rhys Davis had enough and wanted the leave half-way through season 3. his departure (killed-off) was one of the saddest moments in television history for the original cast members and the fans. then we are introduce to Kari Wuhrer as Maggie Beckett replacing John-Rhys Davis for the second half of third season. Wuhrer's character at first was terrible replacement for Arturo, her wooden acting and her bitchy military personality always irritate me. the fact she become Quinn new love interest, always tags along with him, pushing Wade a side with Rembrandt feels just wrong on so many levels. Kari Wuhrer was clearly in the show to attract younger-male viewers (boost the ratings) but thankfully by season 4 she's more likable and fleshed-out character. i feel bad for Sabrina Lloyd who left the series after season 3 with a bad taste, because of the idiotic decision from the producer and not getting along with Kari Wuhrer's ego. since FOX practically ruined the series, they give it to the "sci-fi channel" for the last two seasons. 'Season 4' is an improvement in terms of writing and quality after the jumbled mess of season 3. it's faithful to the original concept, but darker and serious then the previous seasons and not as great as first two seasons but overall a good season. it involves "The Kromaggs" from season 2 as the main villains of season 4. Jerry O'Connell's brother Charlie O'Connell join the cast as Quinn's lost brother Collin Mallory. Collin is very enjoyable character for the most part. with the issues i addressed, i love this series so much, and i collected all four seasons of sliders. the reason i said all four is because that speck so-called 'season 5' doesn't exist to me, not only the worst season but complete chore to sit-through. with nothing left but a shadow of it's former self. without Jerry O'Connell there is no point continuing the series. jerry and his brother left the series, after a dispute with the network (sci-fi channel) but a fifth season was made without them anyway. almost the entire original cast gone, smaller budget then previous seasons, re-using the same location, poorly-written episodes and no closure. how sad when a series started out so great and promising and ended up derailed by idiots.
Shaun Choo Hi guys. Its been quite a while since my last review. And I thought I start my 1st review of the year with a TV series review. I am a huge nerd and as therefore decided to watch this nifty little series. The story is actually one of the more simpler to follow than most Sci-Fi series out there.As I am writing this, I am currently watching the the very first 2 hr pilot. It is shot in the style of a standard TV-movie. So you get the basic layout. The story is about a genius teen played by one my favorite actors on TV Jerry O'connell. He basically builds a device where he is able to travel between dimensions safely. He is joined by a teacher, a friend who is his crush and a soul singer. As I am watching this I can tell you guys safely by first impressions this show is very well put together. The science behind the story is not hard to follow. With a journey that I can safely say is going to be a blast !!! All the cast members do a wonderful job pulling off their characters. I have now just come to the end of the first episode. Giving me a huge Holy Crap at the end. This only tells me that there are more adventures to be had. The basic jist of the ongoing story is that the group will have to keep going through the portal to other dimensions to get back home. Sliding if you will. This show will be awesome to watch every Saturday night. Yes that's exactly what I'm going to do. Every Saturday night, I am going to knock off a few episodes from this series So yeah , if you are are a fan of sci-fi or a fan of adventure series then you are going to have a great time with this series.
ryanpseudo Unfortunately I cannot review each season separately, because the first couple seasons deserve a much better rating than the subsequent ones. The Crew: The show starts out with the usual cast: unexpected male called to be a leader in adverse conditions who finds his confidence and strength through various challenges; the older sage/ wise man/ elder who has experience in all things, but never lives up to the hero; the cute girl next door who has always loved the hero, but never built up the courage to tell him, and the tension builds with each time he saves her; and the comic relief/ strong guy who has no idea whats going on but makes quippy comments and punches people who don't like the hero. In the third season they lose wise sage, and add obnoxious fox. Foxy warrior women only make a show better if you like the person, but this one just seems to pick fights and make bad choices. Her good looks don't matter if the character is ubiquitously hated by all viewers/ characters. The Idea: The show is based on the cast traveling to parallel Earths trying to get back to theirs. The first many episodes have no intertwined plots, and are based solely on the peculiar differences between worlds, and the struggles that causes to stay out of harms way and help the locals overcome tyranny and oppression. The show could have gone on this way so long as they kept thinking up new clever ways to make these worlds different, but they didn't. They started taking from age old plots of scientist mixing animals and humans, invisible person only one crazy person can see, dinosaurs, underground morlocks, back in time to change your worst moments...the works. In season 3 the plot changes to tracking down a murder, even though there's been murders in every other world, this one needs to be stopped, and they go on a rampage trying to stop one guy who's always one step ahead. It's been done. The comic relief stops being comic relief in season 2 and becomes debbie downer. The nerdy hero boy learns boxing and kung-fu at some point and stops being beat up all the time, and wails out the pain. The girl next door becomes a major whiner too, and completely stops pursuing hero-boy. Overall Jist: The first couple seasons are good, but after that they really seem to be riding it to the bank. The acting gets over the top, the stories becoming trite, and the whole situation becomes a joke. Everyone has a sliding device. Nobody knows how to use it. Everyone's hunting everyone. Weird earth-bound aliens are some overarching evil that really done't seem to do as much as people give them credit for.
