An intellectual movie with stunning artwork and intriguing concepts.

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2020)

This movie stands out from most movies I've seen before, to the point where it doesn't necessarily NEED to feature the certain requirements of story telling: A reason, a cause, or even a resolution.
At the end of the movie, the basic reasoning behind the Shimmer is told to the watcher; telling us that it isn't really there for a specific reason, not being either friendly or malicious, it's just there creating a new environment.
I personally, really enjoy this as an outcome for the film, as again, it's different to most other movie endings; each day we're surrounded by people wanting to know what, why, when, where, who?.. But with this, you don't really get any of that, it presents the audience with the concept that not everything needs a meaning behind it, and that this is just how things are.
Watchers that don't understand the movie will likely feel as if their time's been wasted, or mildly irritated by what they've just seen; however that reaction is simply one of someone who feels as though their intelligence has been insulted by something that's just gone over their heads:)
