Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Diagonaldi Very well executed

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

bukhamalik A very intriguing movie after such a long time. Really thought provoking. Yeah definitely not a Sci-Fi but other than that, thumbs up! The acting is amazing and the emotions are so relatable. Simply loved it. I don't know why people didn't like the ending, I thought it was the best part!

markkbranson This score is the highest I have awarded a film and this one deserves this score without a doubt. The acting, the camera work, the narrative-- all the elements are clicking here and the only reason I did not give this a 10 is the ending is too ambiguous for me (don't worry, I won't give it away.)The work is post-modern, but with a sci-fi twist to it. The narrative goes back a forth in the relationship between Cole (Richard Danum) and Maya (Gillian MacGregor). The time shifting is the post-modern aspect while the sci-fi emerges when an asteroid about the crash into earth is really an alien attack vessel.Danum and MacGregor are great in this film. I became invested in their relationship and kept my fingers crossed that they would overcome their trials after the truth of the asteroid and their own truths are reveal to one another. I have seen that this film is an "Indie," yet the quality of the acting and camera work belies this title. I have, indeed, reviewed "Indie" films here (recently I just commented on "Scent.") This film simply has too high quality of a look for me to class this work as an "Indie." The talent in front of and behind the camera may not be affiliated with a major studio, but the work certainly has the look of a major production.There are some comments here and elsewhere that fault this film because it doesn't "deliver" on the sci-fi aspect. I conceded there are not creeps here, not action/adventure stuff that those of us in the post "Star Wars" world believe defines sci-fi. But this film has far more important fish to fry so if you really like thoughtful films, high quality films, and films that transcend the usual explosions and/or gore (a la the entire "Alien" product), then take and hour and a half, sit back, dim the lights, and immerse yourself in "Beyond." This film deserves your attention!

gshep The story is a retelling of a theme that's been done before, but it's done well and the acting is very good in my opinion.There are so many clues as to what's actually going on, the repeated phrases, the surreal events... sonogram in the woods, come on people, it's not literal. The people shown in multiple roles (think Wizard of Oz here... "and you were there, and you were there...") Also we go from impending doom from an Asteroid to Alien invasion with no one questioning the transition. As another reviewer has mentioned, The scenarios in the film are all there because they are something the main character has seen or experienced.I believe that the bad reviews are due to people taking the movie too literally. I see the whole movie as sort of a fever dream" When I watched it, I immediately thought of "Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge". When you realize what's going on it makes much more sense. Overall, I would recommend it.

suite92 What is believed to be an asteroid approaches Earth. There is a bit of imprecision. The experts cannot decide whether it will impact our planet even when it is visible in the night sky. As the object gets closer, other possibilities show themselves.The scene jumps back and forth from before the arrival, when the couple met, to the present, after the encounter, when most humans are dead. The dialectic is awkward in execution and definitely off-putting.As the film rolls on, will we ever see the encounter? Will we ever see the end of the couple's complaining about each other? Will anyone survive this situation?-------The dialog is mostly boring, including the many tiffs; after hearing 'we need to talk' the first three times, the next dozen are irritating. There are too many back and forth jumps in the time line. These two factors undermine any interest I had in the original concept. In the post encounter/eradication era, there is not as much evidence of genocide as I would have expected. Eliminating billions of humans would leave some traces, but many of the scenes are devoid of any signs of previous habitation. The ending more or less throws away the rest of the film. Another way of putting it is that the rest of the film provides next to no foundation for the ending.
