Had I not been reviewing Beyond Remedy (2009) I?d probably have turned it off within minutes. Still, someone?s gotta review it and so I stuck it out for what seemed like an eternity so that I could give caution to you guys. Actually, I was almost glad that I did ?cos it did pick up a little towards the end and although I still didn?t rate it, I feel sure that it might appeal to a fair percentage of viewers.
Basically, a group of medical students, each suffering from their individual phobias, are invited to an abandoned hospital for
alternative therapy. They enter the experiment resigned to the fact that confronting their fears may be their only hope of a cure. Enter the killer, tailoring his murders to suit his victims with each one finding themselves in a specific nightmare embodying their phobia.
The problem I had very early on in the film was David Gant?s character (Gingrich) who leads the initial seminar. Not really being familiar with David Gant I cannot say if it was his acting at fault, or if he was instructed to ?ham it up like a pantomime dame at Christmas? either way his character was the thing that had my finger hovering over the remote from the outset. I could hardly believe it! I?m guessing that sinister was what they were asking for, but bloody annoying is what was delivered and it took ages for me to forgive it and settle back into the story.
None of the acting was great although Marie Zielcke was plausible enough as Julia, the lead character. Beyond Remedy was a lot of nonsense with a bit of gore thrown in to keep me watching. It did eventually build up to a reasonable climax -which in the end, made this film worth a watch. There was little to fault about the making of the film with direction by Gerhard Hro? being more than adequate. The lighting and music score were acceptable. So, why didn?t I like the majority this film? Well, it?s hard to say. The story was a tad weak and slow but it did improve, the characters were uninteresting and I guess that I?m just too unforgiving, but Christopher Biggins?, Oops! I mean David Gant?s character turned me off early on, I was losing the will to live by the middle of the film, and by the end? Well that last half an hour saved it, and yes, I?m glad I resisted that early temptation to turn off. If only so I can say I?ve seen it.
If you don?t expect too much from Beyond Remedy, and you don?t hate the amateurish, over-dramatic acting by Gant at the start then you may well enjoy it.

In 2154, the RDA corporation is mining Pandora, a lush, Earth-like moon of the planet Polyphemus. Parker Selfridge (Giovanni Ribisi) heads the mining operation, and it employs former marines for security. The corporation intends to exploit Pandora’s reserves of a valuable mineral called unobtanium. Pandora is inhabited by the Na?vi, a blue-skinned neolithic species of sapient humanoids with feline characteristics. Physically stronger and taller than humans, the Na’vi live in harmony with Nature, worshiping a mother goddess called Eywa.
Humans cannot survive exposure to Pandora?s atmosphere for very long and use oxygen masks. In an attempt to improve relations with the natives, scientists create human-Na?vi hybrids called avatars, controlled by genetically-matched human operators. The scientists also lead schools for the Na’vi to learn English and to interact with the humans. Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a paraplegic former marine, becomes a last-minute replacement for his identical twin brother, a recently-murdered scientist trained to be an avatar operator. Dr. Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver), the head of the Avatar Program, considers Sully an inadequate replacement for his brother, and relegates him to a bodyguard role.
Jake escorts Augustine and biologist Norm Spellman (Joel David Moore) on an exploratory mission in their avatar forms to make contact with the Na’vi, in order to help establish diplomatic relations to solve the problem of resources and end the constant threat of violence. The group is attacked by a large predator, and Jake becomes separated and lost. Attempting to survive the night in Pandora?s dangerous jungles, he is rescued by Neytiri (Zoe Salda?a), a female Na’vi. Neytiri brings Jake to Hometree, which is inhabited by Neytiri?s clan, the Omaticaya. Mo’at (C. C. H. Pounder), the Na’vi shaman and Neytiri’s mother, shows interest in the warrior “Dream-walker” (their term for the Avatars), and instructs her daughter to teach Jake their ways. Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang), leader of the security forces for RDA, promises Jake his “real legs” back in exchange for intelligence about the natives and what it will take for them to abandon Hometree, which rests above a large deposit of unobtanium.
Over three months, Jake grows close to Neytiri and the Omaticaya and begins preferring the life he lives through the avatar. Jake’s attachment erodes his loyalty toward RDA’s agenda. He is initiated into the Omaticaya, and he and Neytiri choose each other as mates. Jake’s change of loyalty is revealed when he disables a bulldozer’s cameras as it destroys the tribe’s ‘Tree of Voices’. Col. Quaritch disconnects Jake from his avatar and presents Selfridge and Dr. Augustine with a vlog in which Jake admits that his mission is fruitless; the humans have nothing the Omaticaya desire, and they will never abandon Hometree. Selfridge is convinced that negotiations will fail and orders Hometree’s destruction.
