The Discovery is a film which poses far too many questions, but with no heart to search for the answers.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 5, 2017

More interested in metaphysical ponderings and so-called 'human truths' than in telling a convincing story.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 3, 2017

The Discovery poses a fascinating existential question to its audience, but doesn't quite manage to fill in a plot around it.

Please. Get there in time for the first five minutes. And budget a lot more time than that for the after-movie discussion.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 31, 2017

McDowell, who co-wrote the script with Justin Lader, had an intriguing what-if idea. But it feels like they never figured out what to do with it.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 31, 2017

The entire thing feels like it's happening underwater, sound distorted, movements impeded. A lot happens, but without any urgency inspiring it.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 31, 2017

The movie ... is a dull, nonsensical, sterile mess that left me with a headache and a tinge of annoyance from having wasted my time.

| Mar 30, 2017

This is peak 온라인카지노추천 in a feature-film package, a faux-deep, workmanlike script splashed with some strikingly moody sci-fi imagery tailor-made for a YouTube trailer.

| Mar 30, 2017

McDowell ... sidesteps the material's more intriguing ideas, ultimately settling for a conventional story about love, loss and second chances.

You're left thinking that the most interesting stuff was what happened immediately after "the discovery," the part of the yarn that the film skips over.

| Mar 29, 2017

The Discovery invites us to reflect on our own lives through a slightly bent lens.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 30, 2017

The movie it suggests is fascinating enough to make up for some of the shortcomings of the movie it is.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 27, 2017

An undeniably ambitious film that only becomes increasingly risk-taking as it develops.

The Discovery is poised to dive off the deep end and follow Will as he pioneers new layers of space and time, but the film lends him a trail map that deprives him - and us - the satisfaction of finding some measure of truth for himself.

| Original Score: B | Jan 25, 2017

Jason Segel and Rooney Mara are an unlikely central pairing in this low-key sci-fi about the discovery of an afterlife.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 23, 2017

Its central mystery keeps you guessing, right up until a final turn that's nearly as clever as it is convoluted.

| Original Score: B | Jan 22, 2017

Intriguing but unsatisfying.

| Jan 21, 2017

Though "The Discovery" starts out with a great premise, its mystery dissipates over a somewhat tepid course as the concept ultimately heads in a direction we've seen many times before ...
