CSNY song Helplessly Hoping at beginning of Annihilation

[Cheezmo]

Annihilation wasn't a great movie in my opinion, but the surround mix of Helplessly Hoping at the beginning was excellent. Something that may help put you over if you aren't sure you want to see it. If you have MoviePass you can always just leave after the first 10 minutes, no harm done

I saw it earlier today and it's true

The acoustic guitars seem focused upfront while the vocal harmonies were spread out around the theater. Sounded too good to be a matrix decode. The song factors into the plot, so they do play it several times.

Didn't love the movie though- it sort of plays like a modern version of "The Thing" and then gets ultra-trippy at the end.

"modern version of 'The Thing' and then gets ultra-trippy" . . . you sold me

I loved the movie, and this song definitely played into the story if you pay attention to the story along with the lyrics:

Spoiler

Hey, we can spoiler now!
They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are four for each other
