Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

joleree-186-520687 A little 2001:, a little Contact with a dash of Interstellar and Arrival. The Beyond tells a story about how we as a species might react to the discovery or confirmation of intelligent life. Its not the the typical Hollywood fare. The Beyond paints a picture of how we could interact with another life form and the kinds of technologies we would need to develop to do so. The documentary style works for me because it seems like how it might happen. Its not about action or lasers or the hero that saves the day. The action in this movie is the wormhole and the formation of new planets. The heros in this film are scientist and astronauts. People who put their lives on the line to pioneer new discoveries. To me, its a smart movie that won't work for everyone but it sure worked for me.

safeJ Not truly being a writer, director or producer, our CGI expert had to look elsewhere for inspiration. Other than the film actually having a surprise ending not expected from the trailer/preview, I learned a great deal from the 2 minute or so trailer than watching the 100+ minute movie. The movie starts off with what looks like the end of the world, and we're then treated to a boring docudrama. Our multitasking director/writer appears to have been influenced by a combination of Contact and Arrival, along with bits of other Sci-Fi media. The sound that the Void is emitting is remarkably like the sounds heard in Contact related to their alien communication. The gyroscope-like vehicle used in Contact is very similar to the gyro look of Beyond's probes. The arrival of multiple orbs in Beyond is like the multiple spaceships appearing in Arrival. Even the appearance of Beyond's aliens alludes to the inkiness of Arrival's aliens. And the "save earth" theme here is similar to both Arrival and Contact.Other than shear curiosity, I wouldn't have bothered streaming this movie from my local library's agent. The trailer led me to believe there was a disaster caused by aliens, where in fact aliens apparently saved humanity (only surprise of movie). Wasn't clearly explained what actually blew up, causing all the debris to crash into satellites, etc. Was it the moon's destruction? Did the aliens cause this as well, just to give them an opportunity to "save" humanity?The writer/director/etc. should stick to CGI and creating other visual effects and leave the rest of movie making to others with the professional know-how!!

abgd-44288 I like the idea, I like the script, but most visual effects are very poorly made I do not know who worked on VFX, but he does not have a sense of scale, that's why these spheres are such Blurry. but there are also scenes with very well made VFX. in general I liked this movie.
