A slow burn...
Patient build up of tension; the mysteries are interesting and kind of in line with the books; psychological motivations of the characters are a little undeveloped....and fails to drive the narrative in any meaningful way.

Review from the comment
Annihilation is one of those tale of two movies type deals. The first part, while full of its self-importance, is traditional horror movie fare where a team of experts are sent into someplace bad to figure out what is up with the out of this world shit happening there and also where the other teams are who have already been sent in. This part is average at best, nothing to rave about and definitely not as interesting as it thinks it is.
The second part unwinds in about the last 20 minutes or so and is completely batshit. I couldn't tell you what happened or why it happened, but man was it gorgeous. It really is a spectacle in visualization on the highest level. Its funny that I liked the nonsensical part better, but people dig what they dig.
