From another world/universe....
Alien in quotes
Its alien from Earth but its not some alien like E.T
Its not there to take over Earth or anything

I thought it had its moments, the mutant bear was creepy.
The ending was not very good, and what happened to Raddick (valkyrie from Thor). She just wanders off and turns into a plant?
I think it was like a child playing with an insect, unaware that the insect is being damaged.
It was the best representation of something "other" that I've ever seen on screen.
We don’t know that for sure, but I’ll allow it.Alien in quotes

We know it's bad for us.
Ebola just wants to live but, you know, fuck Ebola.
The shimmer was expanding and the characters expected it to consume Earth. Does that count?
But was it taking it over, or was it doing what it does naturally?
Was this a remnant from the origins of life, or a weapon from the Engineers?
Oh, interesting. I heard it wasn't that good, but have been meaning to watch it. It's a contender for best "other", you say...
Not much matters to us, tbh.I dunno, but that distinction didn't really matter to earthlings.
This movie was awesome.I liked it but would never, ever recommend it.
The film is like a bad morphine trip.
Not sure I'd consider it a contender, I think many films have creatively expressed something other than human.
Because everyone who entered the shimmer died.
Maybe evil wasn't the right word. Dangerous might have been more accurate.
But the thing is the alien wasn't even really an alien and just a copy of Portmans character. Eventually it would've fully evolved into Natalie Portman. As we see towards the end of the lighthouse scene
Dangerous maybe but def not evil. Here's the thing, nature is dangerous in general so I don't think the shimmer is any more dangerous than being alone on the African plains or in a rainforest jungle.
I think it was a dangerous situation for her, like when she was pressed against the door, but I was really feeling afraid because of how alien it was and the unknown potential for danger.
