Stalker. Russian SF from 1979. District 9 has echoes of it. In this, a meteorite lands and destroys a town, except it might not have been merely a meteorite because weird stuff starts to happen and finally the government cordons it off.
Dark. Grim. Spare. Interesting Wizard of Oz treatment--the regular world is BW, cold, rainy, dirty; once the MC leads his two paying gawkers past the military into The Zone, everything's in color, grass, flowers, birds, blue sky.
I was with it for the first hour-ish. Then it became preachy and a Message Movie.
So. Much. Talking. After taking us step by step through The Zone to the Room, the trip back is a jump cut back to the grim, dirty, dark bar the movie started at.
I'd recommend it as part of the history of SF, but overall I was disappointed. The ending especially I saw coming a mile off.
