NOVA: Beyond the Elements Audience Reviews

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
