Badmouthers seem to miss the plot

Rating: 7/10 (31 March 2018)

Reading some commentary, I honestly, honestly believe the people who rate the 'bad editing' or 'major plot holes' as lacking in this movie, were exactly the people who missed the plot. And most definitely misunderstood the ending.
If you pay attention, every scene-edit makes sense, explaining for instance why Oscar Isaac entered the shimmer in the first place, why he came back to the protagonist Natalie Portman and other pivotal story details. You get to understand it because of all that 'stupid editing' of 'unnecessary flashbacks'.
Yes some characters might be annoying like the woman who goes bananas, or they might not display the most inspiring acting (the point is: the movie isn't about them) besides Natalie Portman, but I feel this movie isn't about special effects and CGI only like some people say at all. It is very much plot-driven
I was entertained, and liked following the story as it unfolded with clues slowly accumulating and was satisfied with the alien at the lighthouse for it was one I haven't seen before.
Is it Tarkovsy's Stalker? No. But should you watch this movie? Yes
7.6 by its originality and captivating quality, but considering I don't want to dilute my other firm 8* ratings, I give this a 7*
