Can't bash it too much because i was entertained, however...

Rating: 7/10 (20 March 2018)

I think the movie took itself way too seriously if you take into account the actual content of it..I was looking forward to watching it and to be honest it started off pretty amazingly and i was really into it as it kept suspensefully teasing you about what you would find in the shimmer and what was the purpose of the whole thing being there (not that it need to have a purpose i just feel like it made that sort of "promises". But as soon as they start prepping to go in there it just gets silly and worst of all , empty. The prepping is so silly as someone said above why would the governemnt keep sending people in if no one had ever come back and there was no way to communicate with the unnaffected world, but to be honest this would be ok had the rest of the movie not been a let down. I was expecting to find mind bending ideas and characters and aspects to make me think about and get into but what I got was really should some half assed "scientific" explanation which was totally unnecessry and the only idea the movie had was dna refractss and things change and then that's all it was 50 times. On top of that we knew before hand the other characters would die so the movie just got rid of them in a rather uninteresting way. Everybody is going on about the bear scene which was cool at best not like scary and creepy like everybody is saying , such an interesting concept should have been worked with so much better than it was. I'm no film expert but thought the movie was reallly dull in comparison to what it could ve been so now Im going to watch stalker that people keep prasing. Tnhis being said the movie is not bad , it's actually pretty ok just i couldnt really enjoy it over my disappontment with such wasted potential. Felt like event horizon (but considerably better)
