In the near future, due to a breakthrough scientific discovery by Dr. Thomas Harbor, there is now definitive proof of an afterlife. While countless people have chosen suicide to reset their existence, others try to decide what it all means. Among them is Dr. Harbor's son Will, who has arrived at his father's isolated compound with a mysterious young woman named Isla. There, they discover the strange acolytes who help Dr. Harbor with his experiments.

People who do not like to think may find it annoying, but the movie is incredible! It reminded me a lot The OA.

The film plays with big themes, not only those surrounding life after death. It would be remiss of me to talk about the ideas the film portrays as it would ruin the mystery that the characters and the viewer are trying to understand. However, I was underwhelmed by the film. In terms of tone and story the film is all over the place, striving for a higher purpose but never quite reaching it. Full marks for trying though.

The premisse os good, but the movie dragged itself for too long, and Jason Segel is one of the worst actors I have ever seen. Oh, and it was so predictable.

Interesting premise. Solid cast, although at first I didn't see Jason Segal as a leading man, The movie has the feel of an indendent film (in one whole scene you hear the rain falling outside, something that would usually have been looped out of a more expensive production, but, the unntentionally rain actually rooted the film in our world). It was wonderful seeing Robert Redford in a movie (it made me reconsider what I had considered the frustrating physical changes of my own aging body), Rooney Mara was perfectly cast. Good supportive casting. I give this Netflix film a solid 7 (good) out of 10.

The Discovery poses a very interesting question. If life after death was scientifically proven, would this knowledge cause a massive wave of suicides? Oh, wait; did I say “interesting”? Actually, I meant “stupid.” Dr. Thomas Harbor (Robert Redford) claims to have discovered, in Hamlet's word More
