- I expected more from this movie, a really clever critique of religion, an alternate explanation of the afterlife, or even a look at a cult. While The Discovery creates a clever hook of a scientist proving an afterlife and then trying to determine the nature of the afterlife, it never goes anywhere. Why does everyone assume the afterlife is good? I thought for a moment the movie might delve into that, but we're left with a bland conclusion that forgoes exploring any of the interesting ideas the movie had previously presented.
