1. Why didn’t they just drive to the lighthouse? Wearing bio suits? Surely there was a road leading to the lighthouse.
2. You mean, no one ever walked into the shimmer a short distance ... with a rope tied around their waist ... took samples ... and then walked (got pulled out) out?
3. You mean, no one ever reached the lighthouse, even when the shimmer was real small?
4. You mean, they couldn’t have dropped a smart bomb on the lighthouse, since they
knew it was ground zero.
5. You mean, they kept building those permanent concrete structures when they knew that they would have to soon be abandoned when the shimmer engulfed them?
6. Hey, how about we stack a bunch of human bones outside the lighthouse for no reason, just to befuddle the audience. Audience theories should be fun to read.
7. The Natalie Portman character unloads a full clip at an alligator at point blank range, and the other characters are impressed with her ... marksmanship?
8. So, every interesting development was revealed in the trailers. No surprises, no sense of discovery for the audience. And the big payoff at the end was that silly mime routine at the lighthouse ... by a goofy alien entity that may or may not have been sentient?
9. Oh wait, the big payoff at the end was the glowing eyes ... indicating a sequel if this movie is successful. (Looks unlikely)
I grow tired of this sort of movie where the filmmaker can only provide the style and makes the audience concoct the substance.
