I never thought I would give a movie 1 star!

Rating: 1/10 (15 June 2018)

Some random internet guy suggested this as a good movie. So I went for it.
It starts well. Decent cast, decent mystery, and even the biology lessons in the beginning were pretty accurate. I can buy that a weird energy blanket expands and it's about to consume everything. Sure, soldiers and drones sucked into it never return. Interesting premise.
And then the nonsense starts. The military keeps secret that world ending threat (for no good reason) instead of sharing it with the scientific community. 5 women get there without protection suits and masks. The "blanket" is just for show, it's immaterial and anyone can get in and out without problems, so telling us that nobody ever returns is a lie. Helicopters could get in without problem and yet, these women have to walk for 8 days to get to the center.
The movie trolls you with irrelevant flashbacks just after chapter titles invade your screen. Instead of the women going back to report what they found, they just keep going further. There are many ways to solve the radio signals goign out of that blanket. Try wires for example! The whole procedure is very amateurish for a world-end scenario. They dont even leave a trail behind them.
It's laughable that they have maps but they dont know where they are going even though there are distinct landmarks, like lakes and houses. They dont even have clocks and calendars, so they need to count their food to know how many days are in there. They know that nature is messed up and yet they touch contaminated water and they never do anything smart. I'm not a smart scientist as them but it took them 8 days to figure out the problem that it was obvious from the first 30 minutes!
In the end, they whole story could end withing hours, if anyone with a helicopter could go in there and throw a grenade into a hole. And as silly story have it, if you kill the source who caused all evil, then everything wrong returns to normal. Just like that SouthPark episode where they had to kill the original zombi to save everyone else. Only this movie wasnt trying to be satirical.
Needless to say, even the title is misleading, since there is no annihilation, just the threat of it. Just like in Geostorm.
