Like how anytime there is a survival situation, NE always finds a way to bring up cannibalism

For anyone curious, the psychologist is much more important in the book and aids the group in crossing the border of the shimmer by putting them under hypnosis, and there’s an entire arc where the biologist inhaled fungus spores which makes her immune to the psychologists mind control, and she starts to notice some extreme corruption. And in the book, none of the characters have names, they’re just named off of their jobs. Excellent book trilogy, I love it!!

Being a team leader then why did you not bring any different equipment?

"Ohh wait because you're a f***ing psychologist."

Love that part lol.

The Shimmer was a higher dimensional being trying to understand a lower dimensional world. This is why it could teleport. After copying the protagonist, i think it learned what she knew, and so it destroyed itself and the lighthouse after understanding that it had hurt people without intending to. It also healed her husbands clone for the same reason.

I kind of found Jossie's death one of the more peaceful ones there... She knew what was going to happen, she chose to leave willingly, and didn't look like she was in excruciating pain, as far as I can remember.

Y'know if this actually happens everybody is gonna freak out,then you know there's gonna be that one guy who says "Don't worry guys I've watched nerd explains."

the most perplexing part of the movie is how lena is depressed because the guy she cheated on left her

" Ohh there is mutated and alien stuff, let's all just touch it bare hands". That is literally "Homer Simpson liks an Uranium rod" kind of stupid...

Am I the only one who considers the bear section with them tied up to be one of the most terrifying movie experiences ever? Like, you know its the bear even when you dont bc her voice is distorted and on top of that, theyre so helpless that its just crazy terrifying how the bear comes in and murders the crap out of the one girl.

“We don’t know what happened to him”

PROCEEDS TO WALK IN WITHOUT ANY PROTECTION FROM POSSIBLE AIRBORNE PATHOGENS

Edit: I haven’t seen this much stupidity since “Alien: Covenant” where they walked onto a previously undiscovered planet without any protection because “there’s oxygen”.

Bruh half the movie is just him roasting Ventress about being a phycologist.

I always thought that Lina transfered her self destructive nature to the shimmer, as represented by the grenade, and that's why it destroyed itself.

@Harpold 5 years ago

Something important that wasn't mentioned is that most of the humans didn't make it out alive because they already set their mind that they were going to die. Thats how Lena survived so long because she set her mind on returning and maybe her husband came out because he still loved her.

Am I the only one when thinks the visuals in this movie are absolutely beautiful?
That soldier in the pool might have been horrific, but I think it's one of the most beautiful things in the movie.

And that kids, is why the Foundation uses D-Class with a rope around the waist. Entirely expendable, yet oddly dependable.

Edit: Lmao at how many times NE roasts the doctor
