Annihilation 2018

I loved the visuals and the soundtrack of this film but was disinterested with the other elements. Everything was predictable, even to the very last scene. Perhaps I have watched too many similar movies that I can now guess what's going on, not sure.

Some of the 'mind-blowing' plot elements my friends thought at the end, were clearly visible throughout the film, and semi-obvious.
The lighthouse scene was visually stunning and not too haunting, which I personally appreciate. Although the second I saw Dr. Ventress, I guessed the next 5 minutes-the end of the film (it would clone her, get out, etc.).
My favorite scene was that void that Natalie Portman looks into. The visuals and sounds were impeccable.

Overall, this averages out to be an above-average thriller, with something to think about afterward.
