Decent action and production. Low appeal to intellect

Rating: Null/10 (17 March 2018)

I can see why some viewers, those looking for action, like this film; while those looking for something that does not insulted the intellect, do not.
The key to understanding this mess is knowing that it is not a science fiction story, where one or two items require suspension of disbelief, but the rest must not. The ending of "Annihilation" requires the audience members to be moron or so conditioned by Hollywood that they don't understand no ending is a failure, not an achievement.
This film in fact is quite simply a horror film and filled with well trod tropes. That is why the principle characters are women who are victims. Having them randomly fire M4s as their are dragged off doesn't change that.
