Documentary like science fiction

Different from previous sci-fi films, this film is shot like a documentary and looks very realistic. The success or failure of aerospace engineering is mainly in the preparatory stage, and the film reflects this process well through interviews. However, until the emergence of Human 2.0 and the magical species saving human beings, it felt a little ridiculous. In fact, most of the one-and-a-half-hour movie is devoted to how to select people to explore black holes, especially Human 2.0. A lot of space is used to introduce the process of 2.0 generation. The later plot develops too fast, I personally feel that it is a bit off topic.

The huge spheres appearing all over the world are just to protect humans from the debris of exploding planets? Mysterious species prompted the birth of No. 2? Everything is too idealistic. The writer's mind can do it.

The Beyond quotes

  • [first lines]

    Gillian: We could not have been more wrong about all of this.

  • Alice Lamont: The brain can live without a body, but the body can't live without its brain. It's that simple notion which drives the Human 2.0 Project. Our aim was to create a prosthesis that could house the human brain, a substitute body. But most importantly, we wanted it to be recognizable as a human.
