Beyond Existence

The review by dtacinelli, who gave this film 10 out of ten points, is ridiculous. Obviously he is somehow involved with the production of the film. It's a cheap small production with a very small ensemble. It looks amateurish from minute one. And when the professor states that he is an alien from Alpha Centauri, the film loses every bit of seriousness. The whole background story about the motives of these aliens is turbid and illogical. The end is disappointing like in many films that had no idea how to finish the story. What dan-162-268581 wrote about the special effects in the car is absolutely right. The effects were totally outdated and primitive. The whole production looked very amateurish. And it's way too long. I give it a rating of four out of ten.

Liked the plot. A bit hard to grasp from start but eventually became clear. But those in-a-car scenes cracked me up completely. Haven't seen worse since good old days with Humphrey Bogart. Point is to make it look as if the actors actually sits in a car that's moving. Throughout decades this have been done in numerous ways. From having real cameras in a car and the actors actually driving to having a "car" on a trailer equipped with cameras and microphones. Past 20 or so years it's been CGI, computer generated imagery, green room, etc. I haven't a clue how the producers managed to create these ridiculous "moving backgrounds" to the in-a-car scenes. I tried not to bother first half of the film but since they are several and timely, I gave up about half way in. I'm baffled. How can producers and others NOT see this?

I really enjoyed the storyline of this film, it was very well done! The fresh ideas of the writers was very welcomed in a genre that is filled with repetitive stories. This one gives an interesting story of origin and state of the human races future. The flow of the story was easy to watch and follow. In addition, the characters really did keep your attention and were well cast. The cinematography was impressive for this budget film as well as the locations chosen for shooting brought an intriguing feel to the overall. Bravo! I want to see sequel. I am very interested to see where Ellen takes the story.
