Was I watching the same film?

Rating: 1/10 (21 October 2018)

I had no idea I could write a review on IMDB, that's how moved I am having just endured Annihilation. I doubt I add much that hasn't already been said, but it's appalling.
My lone star is for great visuals. I am convinced each scene was created by a different director, in isolation. The characters changed mood spontaneously between scenes. Why were there helicopters just pointlessly hovering over the base as the Girl Guides went to save the world?Why were they drinking beer, 400m from the end of the world? Why were there 20 people is Hazmats silently watching Natalie get questioned? Why was a Government organisation leaving one person to decide the fate of cities, without committees or discussions and allowing unstable individuals into the Shimmer? Why didn't they tie a rope around one of them so they could drag them back out?
I saw nothing intellectual in the film. I thought it was rubbish and I now understand it's limited release. The actors trapped in the shimmer are far better than this.
