Exclusive Episode 2: Annihilation
🕑 Added 2019-06-13 20:22:52 +0000 UTCThe LFTS team discusses 2018's Annihilation. This film was a mixed bag for us, generally. There are things we liked, but also things we felt missed the mark. In this episode we talk about the aspects that work super well as well as the elements that can leave people walking out of the theater unimpressed.

I know this will probably not be read since I am laaaate to the game but for what it's worth: I had a huge problem with the film from a very different perspective. I watched it with my best friend and at that point we had both finished a bachelor's degree in biology. So we were sitting there like "that's not how DNA works. That's not how biology works. That's not how ANY of this works". It had this weird middle ground of explaining just too much about its science to a point where you couldn't just disregard it as 'movie science' but pretended to be grounded in ACTUAL, real science. And we were just sooo infuriated because it was false on so many levels :D
