Rating: 6/10 (19 August 2018)

The Film feels like an allegory for itself. In the Shimmer, the closer you get to the center the more messed up everything gets. This movie is good on the outside, whimsy, smart, thoughtful. But once you start to peal away those onion skins and get closer to the center the less everything makes sense...
I'm always for some crazy science fiction movie that is honestly just out there in it's concept. So I was quickly hooked by this "Shimmer". I actually thought the special effects would look worse but to be honest they look quite beautiful at times. It comes of as both whimsical and creepy in it's conception. For the most part the creature designs I found to be memorable and very nice to the eye. Simple and nothing totally over the top. The bear incorporating the screams I thought was also a cool idea. Although...
It's established the Shimmer is a giant prisms that refracts everything. Yet somehow I can't get over the idea that someones screams get refracted into the bear? The more you think about it the less it makes sense which goes for the rest of this movie.
Would I recommend this movie? Sure, as long as you don't think to hard about it. Even so, it's still an ok sci-fi flick I wouldn't mind watching again.
