Disappointing movie. Strange dialogue and oddly handled subject matter. Felt like Hugh Grant's "Mr. Reed" has just finished reading Charles Dawkins' "The God Delusion" and then felt compelled to proselytize those nice Mormon girls into his warped faith.

Annihilation 2018
Very pretty visuals and a bunch of really tense scenes accompanied by a great performance by Natalie Portman. Major Roadside Picnic/S.T.A.L.K.E.R. vibes.

Remember when the world ended in 2012?
