Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Annihilation (2018)

Biologist widow's soldier-husband arrives at their home months after his presumed death, but he doesn't seem quite right. Soon she's recruited for the same mission he'd been working on: go into the mysterious "shimmer" and figure out wtf is going on.

We get a "kinda" idea of what is happening through a few lovely effects but it boils down to basically the shimmer being the next step in evolution. But it's in a big damned hurry.

It's basically a midfuck of a movie and there's not enough good to recommend the whole.
