Serious waste of my time

Rating: 1/10 (4 June 2020)

Sorry but I can't say anything good about this Beyond the mild interest of (painfully waiting) to find out what will happen when they enter the shimmer (pretty pants name too if you ask me). Then they do enter (By the way, take it nobody tried walking in and then walking straight back out again - you seem to be able to see them on the other side once they have walked through - despite the rather unexplained time distortion - good old refraction again I assume! ) and it's all downhill from there.
Decided to expand on my review after reading some of the other reviews. I'm dictating this so apologies for any typos or misplaced capitals. I don't really want to take any more time correcting a critique of this poor film (in my view). I do feel I need to express my opinion on this however which probably sums up how much I resent spending time watching it.
Maybe one day I will find that I am missing an artistic viewpoint of some kind. However, for the time being I just don't understand how anybody can find this film enjoyable in the watching. I would also add that those who feel the need to abuse other film genres To elevate this particular film in their reviews presumably have an axe to grind And I'm not sure why that is relevant in the review of any given film - removes some credibility if you ask me. Surely it's A significant generalisation /narrow minded to write off an entire genre of films anyway?
Plot: even those Who seem to have enjoyed this film appear to concede that the plot makes little to no sense at all (to me it makes zero sense). Its generally chockablock full of holes/nonsensical. A prism that refracts everything in it including DNA??? This makes absolutely no sense to me at all. If there is any scientific basis behind this presumably there are only very few people With the scientific knowledge who are actually going to be able to make any sense of it. If there isn't, it seems like a fairly meaningless/Unconnectable concept.
Mood/atmosphere: I can't think of any word to sum this up better than "miserable". Depressing might be another adjective I would apply however. Without substance. Contrary to normal human reactions there seems to be no sense of anticipation or wonder about this phenomenon From those involved. They all seem to defer to being miserable instead.i.e. It seemed considerably lacking in the range of human emotions. Trying to recall if there was even one joke? Even in most war films where everybody is dying there is some humour. We are humans. Basically a group of rather depressed people wander into a shiny bubble where everything in it is mutating at a cellular level e.g. people becoming plants and animals. That description however probably makes it sound a lot better than it actually is. It's slow and dreary with the music to match. While as usual I forced my self to pay attention through most of the film at times I was multitasking using the Internet and sending a message to my brother about better quality television. I didn't seem to miss anything however as a result. I had to force myself to get to the end of the film ( I thought about turning it off) and was hoping that there might be a big reveal of something mildly interesting/logical. There wasn't. I saw the word visceral to describe this in some of the reviews. This bamboozles me somewhat. I had no natural reaction to this other than boredom. I didn't find it suspenseful, scary or compelling. I would suggest to people if they're looking for that type of reaction within themselves, relative to this film, you would be better just listening to some pink floyd with some disco lights Or a lava lamp. I also saw some comments about graphics. I think there are obviously some talented drawers associated with the film. I'd perhaps prefer 'flower people' a lot of the time! However I didn't find the CGI that different or particularly special.
It's great if some people enjoy the film. However, despite having a rather wide ranging taste in films, I'd sum this up as - woeful
