Sex scene completely unnecessary


Finally entering the alien field, when suddenly a sex scene during 30 seconds, then back to movie

At that point of the movie, the audience were wondering how dangerous it would be inside the shimmer. The short sex scene challenged our that kind of fixed presumption, because we know that when people are really in a harsh and dangerous environment, it's hard to even fall asleep, let alone having any erotic dream.

Better watch it again then. Kane took the Shimmer mission because he found out Lena cheated on him. Lena is thinking and dreaming about that because it's that guilt that drives her.

Agreeing with the [deleted] account just above and with zeesha. Plus, it was a none graphic scene. In a world where nudity and full frontals are now a common thing on television, I really don't get how a 30 seconds non-explicit intimacy scenes in a movie can be seen as something problematic... especially if it shows us new details about what was going on between characters.
