Set in 2019, The Beyond chronicles the groundbreaking mission which sent astronauts - modified with advanced robotics, through a newly discovered wormhole known as the Void. When the mission returns unexpectedly, the space agency races to discover what the astronauts encountered on their first of its kind interstellar space journey.
While The Beyond has reasonably good special effects and adequate acting; the writing and direction are unforgivable. Most Sci-Fi uses technobabble as a plot device to move the story along while The Beyond features many nonsensical monologues of nothing but technobabble. If you have even a passing interest in space travel, cosmology, Maxwell's Rainbow, or just general science; you may find much of the dialog to be bordering on word salad.
Camera direction is inconsistent and perplexing. Sometimes the camera is steady as if on a tripod, but even when it should be steady, such as a local news crew doing a man-on-the-street interview or a camera affixed to the outside of the space station, the camera shakes and swerves around like you're watching Cloverfield or The Blair Witch Project.
