Annihilation (2018)

One time zeitgeist hitting novelist and frequent Danny Boyle collaborator, Alex Garland, never impressed me with his overrated debut, Ex Machina, but he sure as hell did here (as did Natalie Portman, who is a much better actress than a decade ago). In the end I think I bumped this sci-fi mind bender at the last minute into 2nd place in my films of the year list - but can't remember what replaced it.
