Unbelievable

Rating: 3/10 (26 March 2018)

The visual effects are captivating, but that is about it. This movie has more holes than Swiss cheese. There are so many questions. There is this "shimmer" that covers a large portion of land in the United States. It has swallowed up a small town, along with an army base. And, it has been in place for three years. If a phenomenon like this actually occurred, it would be the focus of world attention. It would be major. It would be viewed as a possible threat to the planet, and humankind. The United States, which has sent probes to distant planets, and the rest of the world would have employed the most advanced technology on this thing. Scientists around the world would be analyzing the information. Instead, this phenomenon is not even in the news, and, aside from the US government, no none seems to know anything about it? The government has never bothered to fly a drone into the shimmer, or drop a probe? Instead, they just send these small groups of explorers into the shimmer to never return. It's ridiculous. Maybe the book would explain it more, but the book should not be a prerequisite for the film.
