Interesting concept - doesn't totally pay off

Rating: 7/10 (15 October 2018)

I was really intrigued by this concept and Natalie Portman doesn't ever disappoint as an actress. The story follows a group of female scientists who enter The Shimmer, a mysterious quarantined zone of mutating landscapes and creatures. I loved the tough and brave military women, and it was a fascinating movie where you didn't really know what to expect. The ending, however, (without giving too much away) was a bit murky and not totally satisfying to me. For a concept that was built upon mystery, I would have liked some more answers than were provided. Still, I recommend it though.
