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.

@faithful I couldn't agree more. This was not the film I was expecting it to be. A good concept but it's extremely slow-paced throughout to the point where it gets quite boring in places.

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.

Wait so... everyone is killing themselves why? Just because it's been confirmed that the consciousness goes "somewhere"? I don't get it.

People are killing them self cuz the life is terrible its not worth living, so when "the guys dad" finds the existence of after life he doesn't tell them what and how it is, so people just commit suicide so they can see what it is. That basically is the whole movie.

The Discovery is a surprisingly delightful Netflix treat. I thought it was thought provoking and the concept kept me interested for most of the run time except for a bit of a lull in the middle. Jason Segel and Rooney Mara are excellent and this is one of those movies that are going to leave you thinking. In a good way.

This is a bit of a slow-burn movie. It's definitely interesting. It plays with some interesting and thought-provoking themes. Even the ending came as a bit of a surprise. I think this is worth a one-time-view.

The first fifteen minutes and the last fifteen minutes were incredible. The hour in the middle, on the other hand, dragged too much for my tastes.

Do yourself a favor and watch the original Flatliners. It's way better than this snooze fest.
