I was expecting a generic alien invasion movie, and I was pleasantly surprised

I'd like to watch this and Annihilation again. I've only seen each of them once, both around the same time, and my memories of them are pretty fuzzy at this stage.

Two of my absolute favorite movies. They are both amazing examinations of contact with life that functions completely differently than us, albeit in very different ways

FYI Annihilation novel has the same premise and setup as the movie, but is quite different plot-wise. It's more emotional, introspective, and has very vivid imagery. Much different from what I usually read, but I loved it.

Interesting, maybe I'll read that before re-watching the film. Thanks for the recommendation!

Was fuzzy, indeed.

I'm pretty sure I saw it in a Dolby theater and it kept me up that night.
