the flaw at the heart of the annihilation movie is that natalie portman’s Biologist character is really actually having a sexual affair and not doing what she does in the book (going to a parking lot for hours and staring at lichen)
I love both the book and the movie, even if they’re wildly different. But the book made me turn on all the lights in my apartment with tears in my eyes because I was so scared.
I haven't seen the movie, but I know I will prefer the Biologist from the book, you just can't beat a hypercompetent girlfailure with one special interest that shapes the entirety of her perception of the world.
