ianred-40967 If you're the kind of person who likes to question and ponder things like life, the universe, and everything then this film will sing to your soul. The directing and acting are very good as is the story line. The film dives into the topic of human afterlife and consciousness while providing a little romance along the way. This is the perfect movie for a couple to sit back and enjoy together or even if you're just by yourself.

soumyadeepkoley The beautifully directed and acted movie sends out a powerful message with the implication that suicide is not the way to reach an afterlife, which is indeed an alternate reality from our own reality, where we get a second chance to correct our mistakes. A thorough exploration and masterful presentation makes the movie a masterpiece.

barbagvido The Discovery is a movie starring Robert Redford, Jason Segel and Rooney Mara and it tells a story about a man who discovered the proof of afterlife which boosted up the number of suicides. Still, he's looking for more answers and to see further regardless of the suicides and his son's opposing.It's a great concept and I loved how the movie started with a haunting atmosphere, good performances and it all looked very interesting. Then it just refuses to look beyond and just wastes the concept by turning into a black comedy with some drama. The ending was pretty good again, but it just doesn't feel as grasping as the beginning. With this, I had the same problem that I had with a lot of Netflix original movies: I just couldn't help but feel like there was more to the whole story. Like that's not all, like there was meant to be more in the mix, but was cut. The movie is still not boring. It's still interesting enough and backed up by some good performances, but I just didn't like where it was going. How low it was aiming. And it could have been so much more. The ending is satisfying enough and the twist works well, but the story is a lot smaller than its concept and that's what makes this movie just kinda decent.Another good concept gone to waste. It's not bad, but the story didn't deserve its concept.

ehabich Will, who is against his fathers Thomas experiments, says something along the lines of:"whatever purpose we have in this life it is not about killing."It is about compromise and working out a solution acceptable to all. We have to learn what we are supposed to learn right here, in this place, not the one after.In reality there is of course overwhelming evidence for life after death. The character Thomas is the movie version of Raymond Moody.Having myself experienced an NDE at age 7 I can tell you that the afterlife has nothing to do with being stuck in a Groundhog Day style loop of trying to rectify mistakes of your past.But it is a cute idea.
