Trivia
When the scientists are dressed in a yellow full body suit, the masks are, in fact, diving full face snorkel masks, without the breathing tube. Even the attachment for action cameras are there.

Goofs
Lamont states "The brain can live without a body, but the body can't live without its brain." The opposite is true. Although rare, some individuals with anencephaly (lacking most of the brain) have survived for years but a brain disconnected from its supply of oxygen and nutrients will die in minutes (barring the kind of technology available in this film (or numerous other disembodied head movies)) .

Quotes
Gillian: Is everything that we don't understand, is it something to be feared right off the bat as a knee-jerk reaction, or is there space that we can make to contemplate that there could be forces out there that really are on our side, and that are part of helping us evolve?

visually arresting, but...

The beyond is not a unique film, borrowing elements from Robocop, Europa Report, and other movies that strive for that real looking (but fake) documentary look. Robocop and Europa Report? Must be a good movie then, right? Wrong!

This movie drifts from idea to idea, and when it borrows - it forgets to borrow the most important film quality: Entertainment. I think this movie might be a good watch for people who multitask while a movie is on. Because whenever you take this movie in, there is generally something of visually interest. But actually sitting down, focusing and absorbing the content? One is pelted with a lot of unfocused ideas that kinda tell a story regarding future exploration and alien contact.

If there is one thing I really like about this movie is the optimistic take on the unknown, in this current era of intense social cynicism.

Ultimately though - I felt the film lacked a clear narrative, lacked consistent pacing, and has marginal success in terms of casting, acting, directing.

not unwatchable, but imo an average 5/10
