My comments: A mesmerizing sci-fi movie that left me with many questions, and I've spent a bit of time mulling them over. Now that I think I've figured out what the ending meant, I don't feel a unsettled as I did when I walked out of the theater. I really do enjoy sci-fi, and this one had a bit of horror attached, which was pretty cool actually. I love it when you have to think and think to put things together and wonder why things happened, and wait for the explanation. It's when there's no explanation that I have trouble - especially in sci-fi, because it doesn't always have to make sense. I'm pretty sure that this was based on a book, I'll have to check that out.
RT/ IMDb Summary: A biologist's husband disappears. She puts her name forward for an expedition into an environmental disaster zone, but does not find what she's expecting. The expedition team is made up of the biologist, an anthropologist, a psychologist, a surveyor, and a linguist.
It's been already twelve months since his last covert operation, and the rugged military, Kane, is still missing in action, presumed dead. With his wife--the successful academic biology professor, Lena--still grieving him, an unprecedented phenomenon in the swamplands of Florida will soon have her following in Kane's footsteps, as a member of a strong all-women team. So many theories try to explain the mysterious ever-expanding iridescent membrane which swallows the area; however, none was able to yield facts. What kind of startling biological transmutations lurk behind this bright and colourful kaleidoscope of horrors? In the end, what did Kane see?
