The most egregious example that I encountered recently was in Annihilation. What specifically annoyed me was the scene in which a member of the Shimmer team who rows in the same boat as Natalie Portman’s character tells her something to the effect of, “We’re all damaged goods.”
She then proceeds to provide Portman’s character a straight up list of the internal struggles that each of the team members face.
Breaking the “show, don’t tell” rule. In a similar vein, exposition dumps bug me.
