You might like Dual (2022)

Not quite as heavy with the symbolism and not super-duper about dealing with terminal illness & loss like Annihilation (though… it does have more than a little of that going on). Similar feel otherwise. Also sci fi.

Maybe The High Life (2018).

Another sci fi. I haven’t sorted this one out as well as I have annihilation, but I’m pretty sure it’s also best read entirely figuratively.

And of course everybody who likes brooding symbolism-heavy films really must watch The Green Knight (2021)

(That one’s not sci fi)
