On paper, Annihilation is everything I want from a movie. The film stars a group of female scientists and explorers - a biologist, physicist, psychologist, anthropologist, and paramedic - venturing into an unknown phenomenon dubbed "the shimmer." Once inside the glimmering sphere that blankets a small piece of land in Florida, they reflect on the circumstances that led them each to accept the risky mission and confront the physical horrors that stalk them through the bizarre, mutated landscapes.

Although the detours and sights we see along the way of Valerian are often the most satisfying components, the destination is lackluster.
