The first part of the ending alien sequence from the 2018 film Annihilation, with its distinctive soundtrack. The scene features a strange, shifting mimic and a surreal visual climax.

Why Hacker News points people here: It is recommended as a must-see scene in threads about unusual geometry and animation, such as Mandelbulb and 4D visuals.

Let me add a couple 100 more to that count. Did you know that netflix doesn't support resolutions higher than 720p on windows/linux? You could subscribe to the 1080p plan (like me) and the players will stream 720p videos to you with no indication whatsoever. The only way of checking the netflix video resolution is `document.querySelectorAll('video')[0].videoWidth`. There are FF extensions but they don't work for every title. link I only noticed when I got to the third act of annihilation. this video
