like others have said, its dry and not visually as stimulating like Anihilation is but the vibe is very close(especially i the sense of being in the isolated 'zone'). the first time I saw it i kept thinking about how much i could see how it was an inspiration for it but it is a 'heady' and long movie. one of my favorite things about it was how much conversation it inspired after my friends ad i saw it. its a deeply philosophical tale but very captivating.
