    So let's see, Annihilation is my #1 movie of 2018, my #6 movie of the decade, and one of my all-time favorite sci-fi movies ever. So yeah, Annihilation.

    I haven't gotten around to seeing Annihilation yet but Baby Driver was mostly meh for me.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    I l really liked Annihilation and voted for it, but if it came down to it, I know it's not in this group, but I would have to vote for Arrival.

    Love them both but I put Baby Driver in the lead because honestly I liked the book better (Annihilation)

    Annihilation is an incoherent mess. An interesting incoherent mess, to be sure, but the director just ran amok the last 30 minutes.

    I loved it. I love when movies leave me with a state of "what did I just watch"! It was totally coherent to me, though, and so engaging. And that score!

    You'll have to give me your line of thinking on that one. I thought the ending was a great thematic culmination of all that came before it

    The Baby Driver score and soundtrack gave it the edge over Annihilation for me. It was a close one.

    Yeah, I agree. The ending completely fits into the film. Everything really makes sense once you see the ending. The purpose of the alien entity is clear at that point.

    The poll has closed tied. Stated votes were:

    Annihilation: 6
    Baby Driver: 6

    We need someone who hasn't voted to state what they would've voted for, or I'll flip a virtual coin again.
