I think the annihilation movie is solid albeit flawed and at times really fantastic BUT now having read the book, while I largely like that the movie and book have so little to do with each other, being able to compare the two now did make me realize how much less interesting marital problems stemming from infidelity are compared to marital distance stemming from an inherent difficulty to emotionally connect with other human beings despite one's persisting loneliness

#when i watched the movie that was the weakest part i found #the relationship between the main character and her husband. i thought too much time was spent on it #and the affair plot felt a little tired. i dont think its impossible to make it interesting but i didnt care for it here #the book had a more interesting relationship between the biologist and her husband i found #more thematically relevant too. although i guess adapting emotional unavailability into film is. difficult #particularly in a current usa film industry that doesnt seem that interested in dialogue?#i still enjoyed a lot of the movie tho. but MAN the biologists character in the book was FANTASTIC #but i like when adaptations are really different from their source to the point of being separate #its like . fuck yeah. two things!!!!
