I've read the book version of 'Annihilation' and seen the movie. The
movie was a low quality mess. The book was orders of magnitude worse
and the second and third books in the Southern Reach series were in a
full power nose dive from there.
I haven't read the book, but the science in the movie was pretty bad. The idea that the book was much worse is bothersome.
The series was not a science fiction series. It used a vaguely SF
background to do deep soul searching philosophical ponders. For three
books. By the end of the third book I had lost count of number of
"gazing into one's own navel's navel" iterations it had gone through.
