Streaming and DVDs Was Annihilation too brainy for the box office?

Rating: 2/10 (21 March 2018)

No, No it was not. And here is the reason why. It was boring. Not in the sense of boring movie you let run as background noise but at best one you show off at a "Bring your favorite bad movie-Night". You'd expect from a "intellectual" Movie they'd work the same way. But watching Natalie Portman using a portable Microscope in the middle of the night without an external light source was the beautiful cherry on top of a pile of illogical events and ripped off visuals. It seemed like they used the left over Probs from various movies like Prometheus and asked Rockstar to use the Undead Bear from the Red Dead Redemption DLC Undead Nightmare.
On top of that a completely unnecessary sex scene where we learn that Lena cheated on her husband, what seems to be reason enough to go on a suicide mission.
Not a single time in this Movie did we learn why Lena wouldn't use gloves to collect samples, why the group wouldn't wear masks to avoid contamination, why they aren't accompanied by the army while it seems to be a military operation. Watching the female cast stumble around in the woods with useless and superficial forced conversations and one or another gore element to wake up the audience has nothing to do with intellectual movie making. Visually worth 2 stars. No more or less. It takes more then a 10 page script ripped off from a good Book to make a "Brainy" movie.
Therefore the plot of the script seemed recycled from Arrival apparently they worked in the same building.
