Beyond

Horrible. Just horrifically bad. HEAVY accents. Barely understandable. The actors were actually pretty good as far as being believable - but they had a PROFOUNDLY bad script / concept etc . . ANYONE who writes a review on here that is positive has profound mental disease - and should seek professional help. PLUS this movie jumps around so much the viewer literally has no idea what is going on 90% of the time. AND the director of the movie could have even had the main character heavily bearded ( it's supposedly an apocalypse and all ) and then very clean shaven for the earlier jump cuts. LEADING the viewer a bit out of the colossal madness of this film. But of course since this movie is so horrifically bad - he/she did not do this basic thing. DO NOT waste your time watching this. And if you are a sci fi fan and you think this has ANY "cool" sci fi stuff in it - it DOES NOT.

If you love stories that are driven by character development and story then this is your kind of film. Real old fashion story telling that takes some time to develop people you care about.

While the story was slow, that was to develop people who you can connect with and care about. This is something that is sorely missing in the year 2016, the last good film I saw written or that came to the screen was Monster Money.

If you want false and bang with lots of CGI then this is not for you. your way of thinking and enjoying a story will depend on how you feel about the movie.

The acting was superb, I actually was swept away by the acting and story losing track of time.

If you loved Deadpool, this may not be the story for you. although I did love Deadpool as well. but this is purely story driven.

It has to be near-impossible to have the job of writing a one- sentence, intriguing byline for a movie like this that also doesn't spoil the story line.

Then people go to the movie expecting Transformers VII and get a fascinating, beautifully character-oriented film like this and are either 1) angry because they're action / explosion fans or 2) upset because they had different expectations - even if they end up liking the film.

If they marketed it as a relationship film, people who went for Sleepless in Seattle would be angry about the sci-fi. It's a no-win scenario for this type of script.

I'd have to argue that it's properly billed as sci-fi in that the circumstances create the context for the story to unfold as it does, and they are "sci-fi" circumstances.

In my mind this movie was very similar to Monsters, which was also mis-marketed and was a beautiful character-driven film.

If you liked films like Monsters or Solaris (Clooney) then you'll probably enjoy this film's pace and themes.

This film starts off well but rapidly descends into dullness and then into being cryptic and intimately finishes in oblivion. I thought this was going to be a good film. The blurb promised a Romance/SF-but the elements of both were surprisingly weak. The romance consisted of a virtually endless series of arguments and the SF aspect consisted of a series of shots of looking at what was apparently a space ship as seen from a distance. The aliens are never seen and there is no communication with the alien vessel. Which is also never seen from up close either. A comet is discovered only to be later revealed to be a space ship. A bond forms between a man and a woman only to be later revealed to be a mistake. And so it goes. The film ends in a series of disconnected images that actually makes little to no sense whatsoever leaving the films audience wondering what just happened here. I would not recommend this movie to fans of Romance or to fans of SF as it doesn't have enough components of either genres to be effective in either genre never mind being an effective hybrid project. I have actually seen this type of thing done better by other actors who were also from the UK and not so long ago either. It is therefor also derivative of another UK project which was better executed than this one. All in all I think this was an inferior film.

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.
