good back-story, and good acting

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

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!

I just saw the movie Beyond, few hours ago; I was reading through the reviews here, and unfortunately lots of people didn't understand the true meaning of it.
I am glad to see some reviews where people got the main idea behind it!The relationship between the 2 main characters and how it is evolving is very well written. The music in this movie, and the "abstract" parts are so intriguing!This movie has soo much deep meanings and I think it s a must see!

There's a lot to like about this relationship film set in a sci-fi situation. A neurotic but likable young couple meet and fall in love just as news that an asteroid may hit earth in a few years is announced. Is there any point in being together? We intercut the scenes of their evolving early relationship with sometime after the 'asteroid' has arrived and turned out to be a giant alien ship. Earth is now under siege, with the great majority of people have already been abducted by the aliens, leaving our couple to survive and try to stay hidden, putting their already tumultuous relationship into a seemingly fatal spin. All this is fairly strongly acted by Richard J. Danum and Gillian MacGregor. But then there's the twist ending. I love a good twist provided it feels fairly set up and makes sense
. most of the time. But this is the rare case where the twist – while fairly grounded - weakened the whole film for me since – at least personally – I thought the story BEFORE the twist was much more compelling and original than the 'explanation', which seemed far more familiar as an idea.

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.
