That screeching synthesizer score and the eerie mutant flora lingered in my head long after watching this. The expedition pacing gets a bit hit or miss around the second act, but the atmosphere inside the Shimmer remains genuinely unnerving. A solid, cerebral sci-fi trip that completely pulled me out of my daily grind.

Putting down thoughts on this way later than I should have, but the world-building still holds up completely. The sound design during the snowy battle and asteroid chase makes you forget any real-world exhaustion. It sets a gold standard for script pacing in sci-fi.
