This movie gets great reviews, but IMO, it is another instance of the critics' opinions not matching that of viewers(?)
Apparently, those who liked it hail it as a "non cliche film, that bounds on sci fi and poetry (huh?) and raises important philosophical questions"
<<In my best Butthead impression>>> "Ugghhhhh ....OK?"
here is what I watched:
A entirely Earth based plot that has some type of alien bio-former brought to Earth in a meteorite hit. It is expanding (memories of UNDER THE DOME) slowly behind the "Shimmer"
Once in, everything alive is subject to cellular refraction from the shimmer and the movie bounces from sci fi to horror to love story to deranged buddy flick.
I didn't think it was bad per se, just kind of a waste of time.
Its on Amz Prime

// the only "philosophical" question I saw was just how much Portman's character hand wrings and soul searches over having an affair with a fellow professor. All the while her team mates are being consumed by freaks or walking into oblivion //
