Terrible. The dialogue is redundant, clumsy, and would be considered lack-lustre in a high school essay. The effects are good enough to support a good story. If only there were a script and cast to come along for the ride.

Pretty disappointing. Poor special effects, pedestrian dialogue, uneven direction. After Interstellar, it's as if this movie takes us through a wormhole back to a world of cut-price 70s disaster flicks.

If one is looking for an action packed sci-fi movie - filled with lasers bullets, scary monsters and explosions, this is not for you.

Of the plethoraIf one is looking for an action packed sci-fi movie - filled with lasers bullets, scary monsters and explosions, this is not for you. If one wants a creative, intelligent, optimistic film, then I'd wholeheartedly recommend it. Of the plethora of science fiction films being released in the last few years, this was the best I've seen. (Even the critical darling, “Annihilation” was too dumbed down Hollywood for me, albeit with some creative art design.) The Beyond may not be up to the standard of art house sci-fi masterpieces such as Tarkovsky's The Stalker and Solaris, and Melancholia (And I’m pretty sure that all these films are far too slow for most of the sci-fi crowd). But in comparison to what's out there now, it excels.… Expand

Utterly lacking of imagination, horribly acted, visually workable piece of trash. I'm not gonna knock on the CGI, given the obvious capital limitations, but well thought out logical science fiction is not that difficult to do. If the writerUtterly lacking of imagination, horribly acted, visually workable piece of trash. I'm not gonna knock on the CGI, given the obvious capital limitations, but well thought out logical science fiction is not that difficult to do. If the writer had consulted anyone with a degree in science this might have been a plucky piece of sci-fi. Instead it ends up being a total waste of time. The lack of imagination is shocking to say the least, space agency is called "The Space Agency", cyborg is called "Human 2.0", university is called "University of Astrophysics", etc, etc. Science sounding words are thrown around without any basic understanding, eg. I guarantee you the word telemetry doesn't mean what the writer thinks it does. Film students on a semester project do a better job than this. Forget the acting, the actors were probably the director's neighbours or something similar. The message of the whole thing is self-absorbed human ego and absolutely nothing else.… Expand

A total waste of time. The format of fake interview/documentary is too slow, there is absolutely no action, even if it might not be the goal. And all for.. all for what ? The end was total s**t, like wow, is that all ?

So, the movie is a bit slow and plods along in places where it could definitely have done a better job of keeping the audience awake. The premise is both interesting, but also confusing.

This movie is terrible, despite decent special effects. The plot is slightly interesting, but the script and acting are painful.
