The first half SUCKS, the second half picks up and then buckles under itself

Rating: 5/10 (13 March 2018)

-Lonely Biologist thinks her husband is dead and is torn up about that, but is more upset with herself that she cheated on him with a colleague before he died (that's a bit of an assumption, but the whole afffair makes it seem like he is alive, just never there). This is quite an okay idea, cliche but needed to be more fleshed out I personally think.
-She just so conveniently happens to be a biologest who understands everything that happens to
-When she gets to the army base outside the shimmer, she is confronted by only a psychologist, rather than probably what would be an array of people higher up than a psychologist who just seems to be able to do whatever.
-They just walk straight into the shimmer, with absolutely nothing protective despite every other thing that has gone in there has not come back, like not even a hazmat suit or gloves for christ sake. There's not even people around to see them off, they just walk in like "yeah cool let's do it" also her husband manages to escape from it and walk home, like these people are super incompetent at holding a perimeter
-The government don't seem to be controlling this MASSIVE perimeter very well, also it somehow hasn't been discovered by apparently everyone as it takes them 8 days to reach the center, so unless they walk incredibly slowly this thing is pretty massive.
-Lazy writing, tries to give the essence of mystery but just comes off as super lazy writing.
-Somehow when Sheppard gets eaten, the other 2 don't see the monster that just ate her at all, despite them being there about half a second after it occurred. This leads to 1 of the 2 who did not observe what happened to believe that the 2 that were there, were responsible. Also it looks so comical when it does get her, like we're talking sharknado level of bad.
-The idea that the shimmer takes genes off of everything and expands from that, seems pretty cool.
