If you've ever wondered what Lost might have been like if the writers actually knew where they are going, this might give you an idea. It also feels like a version of Roadside Picnic with more attention paid to the biology and ecology of the region, and the melancholic inner lives of the humans trapped in its orbit. I'm intrigued to see how Annihilation is adapted for the big screen and if it draws from the rest of the series or takes its own path.
