Beyond

It seems the entire story almost completely ignores the plot as stated. The acting was not at fault here. It's just basically a bad movie with it's jump from the current to the past to the current to the past, over and over again. Don't waste your time. However, I am required to submit at least 10 lines of critique or it will not pass the minimum requirement to be available for reading. So I lost interest after 30 minutes but still sat here as my wife remained vigilant. When the movie finally concluded after a painful 1:23 hours her response was, and I quote, "Oh my God!". I hope that gives you an indicator to not waster your time.

The movie has some interesting plot concepts, but the actual content is just boring and slow. Several folks really liked it and say they don't understand why the bad reviews, well part of my complaints over the slow and boring plot as how the main couple are just constantly arguing and fighting over mundane and unimportant elements given the fact that the world is ending it just seems extremely unlikely. I would not have wanted to have paid to see this movie.

The movie fails to keep you interested. The story is dry and moves between story lines without any clear intentions. The characters have no draw to keep you interested in what is going on. I'm at a loss as to how I managed to make it through the entire movie. It really wasn't what I was expecting based on the brief description of the movie. The movie was not suspenseful and the struggles of Cole and Maya seemed more relationship based and really didn't have a lot to do with surviving after an extra-terrestrial attack. I'm sure there is a small group out there that "saw the deeper meaning to the movie" but I was not one of them. Do not watch this unless you really have no other movie to watch and then I would still consider doing something, anything else.

I was expecting yet another bad disaster movie. This is not what I got. This film wasn't so bad it was good. It was merely bad.

That's not to say it wasn't quality work. I'm sure it was. It just didn't entertain me all that much. Paul Brannigan as the store clerk may have given the standout performance, in his later scenes. I didn't remember who he was until the comment was made by Cole about the incident in the store.

At least I got to laugh when people were dressed in costumes.

Maybe you'll like it. But it's not one of these bad disaster movies.

Im not sure why this has such bad reviews. It is an intriguing movie filled with thought provoking symbolism. Truly makes you think. the cinematography is great and the acting is top notch, especially for an indie film.

However, do not be expecting this to be an action movie about the survival of the human race during the apocalypse, because it is far from it. It is more about an emotional struggle of the characters and their current situation.

Would definitely recommend this to others.

It can get a bit confusing towards the end but is still worth the watch. It is full of twists and turns that complexity change your outlook.
