Notable Score & Sound Design!

Rating: 7/10 (20 January 2020)

The score & sound design push Annihilation from a mediocre telling of a really great script to a worthwhile watch. If you don't know of Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow then get to know their unique scoring work pushing newer sound design techniques into the score of everything they touch!
Overall the concept is great but the execution is spotty at best, there are 3 absolutely solid scenes in this film that just have to be respected... The rest... not so much. I do like the early subtle hints in the script at what is to come, with a few not so subtle hints throughout. Other than that it's just the soundtrack that kept me watching.
Solid 7.5/10 - Or a 5 without the brilliant sound design.
