It’s a pity that I didn’t tell a good story

Filming in the form of a documentary is indeed unique, but it is difficult to conceal the roughness of the script. The rationale of the story is based on the narcissism of the screenwriter. There is no sufficient reason to allow aliens (just call them humans, that is invisible in the movie). Shadows) came to save the earth, and there was no clear explanation of alien creatures from the beginning to the end. It felt like coaxing a 3-year-old child, and the ending was even more ridiculous. The screenwriter wished the alien creatures to give humans an earth2, which is really superfluous.

The human 2.0 segment is still very innovative, but unfortunately, it didn't expand the storyline more deeply, and the latter part was rushed. It would be better to describe the story that happened on the other side of the black hole, and it would make more sense for the aliens to save the earth.

    The pseudo-scientific research documentaries that are slightly higher than the level of TV and movies, but the overall idea is too complicated. The first contact of artificial humans/aliens/apocalypse/second earth, don't be too greedy, as a result, you can't dig deep. And because it is a (pseudo) scientific research, the emotions tend to be treated coldly, and the actors don't even need to make expressions. After watching: 1) Government organizations can connect the human brain to metal, but cannot cure paralyzed people; 2) The rolling black ball is good, with a sense of depth.

The Beyond 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?

  • [last lines]

    Gillian: We were so obsessed with discovering new life when, on reflection, we have still yet to discover ourselves. We now have another chance to do just that.
