Beyond the Grave (2023) User Reviews

Interesting Documentary but needs an edit

[MovieBuff0202 · 7/10 · 28 September 2023]

I appreciated the content of this documentary. I have actually read Proof of Heaven myself and found Dr Alexander's experience to be compelling. I appreciate the unique perspectives they provide from individuals who have had their own near death encounters. I also appreciated the fact, as a viewer, that they did not overwhelm you with a soundtrack so loud that you can't even hear the dialogue, like most recent cheesy Docs. Seriously, that can really ruin the whole viewer experience. Especially that tense/nerve-wracking music they play.

So all together this was worth the rental. However, about 30 minutes in they move to a company called Alcor which is located (I googled this) in Scottsdale, AZ. They are talking about how they moved from CA to AZ and somehow the film editor has "Arizona, CA" written across the screen. (I took a picture I wish I could add to this post, just scroll to 30:57 and you'll see) I know it's stilly but neurodivergent people like myself cannot focus on anything after that when it catches our attention. I had to double check there wasn't such a place and I wasn't crazy and even confirmed the actual location of Alcor. Tiny boo boo in the editing department I believe, too late to go back and fix? Definitely less annoying than overpowering music but please fix that. Otherwise, worth a view if you're bored and interested in otherworldly phenomena.

JUst a bunch of talking heads with verbal diarrhea

Well I didnt really get very far into this as I got bored quite quickly. I got past the death guru , the lady with the ugly tattoo's. She showed some picture on her phone of some poor cancer sufferer at the end but the pictures looked like she had just got them from the internet. On comes some professor Ebon who had been on talk show with Larry King and Oprah who was going to zoom call with the host but I never saw that. Then some entitled woman talking about falling off her horse at aged 12 and experiecing a Near Death Experiencing and being on a pink raft and seeing Jesus and Buddah and that was pretty much game over for me. What a load of rubbish. All the people she interviewed to that point are complete fruit loops. Crazy. Writing crappy books to becoming a death guru and its all about the money.

One Of The Most Informative And Awakening Documentaries I Have Ever Watched

Beyond the Grave is one of the most informative and awakening documentaries I have ever watched! The whole concept of it is alluring because who wouldn't want to learn about what happens in the afterlife. I also enjoy it because of how everything is so clearly explained. The documentary covers lots of spiritual discoveries and intriguing stories. It is also amusing to watch if you are interested in paranormal activity.

The plot of Beyond the Grave follows Serena DC who is on a mission to figure out as much as she can about what happens after you die. She travels around meeting with different experts, doctors, mediums, and even paranormal investigators who all have stories to disclose. Throughout her trips Serena attains new knowledge that she is using to answer the main question of what really happens to one's soul after they pass and other factors that involve their life before death.

Beyond the Grave has loads of information and each piece adds a bit to the puzzle. The main reason Serena interviews all of these people is because the majority of them share at least one thing, which is the fact that they faced death head on in their own way. For the ones who didn't, they are professionals when it comes to life and death situations. One of the people she meets whose narrative touched me was Susana Grau. She gained abilities after her near-death experience to the point that she can communicate with present spirits. She gave Ms. DC some really interesting information. Another interesting person is Ellen Whealton, who witnessed things out of earth's reach that changed her life for the better and made her who she is today. Each of the people Serena talks with explain their stories and how they changed their lives. The documentary is very well executed from the camera work to the interviews.

The film's message is to show and prove that death, the one assured thing in life, may sound scary but it could truly be just the beginning of something unimaginable to the human mind and its analysis should be seen as such.

I give Beyond the Grave 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 13 to 18, plus adults. Beyond the Grave releases September 5, 2023, on VOD! By SaniyaRain F., KIDS FIRST!
