at the beginning = when something begins (specific point in time)
EX: I couldn’t follow the film because I wasn’t there at the beginning.
The opposite: At the end
In the Beginning = At first, to begin with
ex: In the beginning I found it hard to concentrate, but now it's much easier.
The opposite: In the end
