Pella Kagerman's and Hugo Lilja's ANIARA (2018)

A Bergman film in space, reviewers say,

Yet I think Wheatley's High Rise might compare

More accurately to this chilly play

On tragic commons, time and human cares. 

A spaceship goes adrift and all aboard

Are all they've got. The story as here told

Is not of character. It's how a horde

Of people change their folkways. Growing old

Aboard a space bus was in no one's plan,
And once the holodeck-oid suicides,
There's not a lot to do, but, man oh man
The sexy cults! The false hopes! As long rides
Might go this one is rough. I must say, though
I love it when an old broad steals the show.

Alex Garland's ANNIHILATION (2018)

If he was never Kane, then what was he
A man asks towards the end. And what was this?
A riff more than an adaptation, we
Who've read the book will notice. We may miss
The strangling fruit, but who could bring a thing
Like that to cinema? Instead, refract
The story through your prism, Garland, bring
A clarity to what was so abstract.
A tour through Ballard more than Vandermeer,
Perhaps, is what we're given. This is fine!
Tarkovskyan its weirdness, and its fear.
It's left the lighthouse keeper on the vine
And made a film that tells a story more
Through sight and sound (especially its score!)
