Loved the visuals and music, but confusing as HELL

Rating: 7/10 (5 August 2019)

I love movies where the scientists save the world. I watched this movie for that sole purpose and was blown away by the visuals and entranced by the music. However, I DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE END AT. ALL. And that is important for a satisfying movie, in my opinion. I'll use Arrival as an example: amazing visuals and beautiful music - it was kind of confusing as it went along, but all of it made sense in the end - my questions were answered and I was satisfied. In this movie, I couldn't even begin to tell you what happened. I feel like all of the characters in the movie do when they leave the shimmer: confused and a bit frustrated.
