Annihilation (I) (2018)
10/10
This Movie Annihilates
28 February 2018
I haven't seen a movie this thought-provoking and slow since I went to see Ex Machina back in 2015. The director of that film shows us once again why to love film. This film is what many people call a beautiful nightmare. I couldn't agree more. Let's talk about it.

From the opening shot alone, I knew that this was not going to be a typical sci-fi film. This film has a beautiful asthetic to it while also balancing realistic portrayals of characters.

In this movie, Natalie Portman and a group of scientists venture into the shimmer, a barrier that cuts off the outside world. Few people return after going into the shimmer, but when Natalie Portman's husband does, stuff goes wild and that's the only plot summary I will give you.

Request: Please don't leave this movie. Several of my audience members did and I felt it so disheartening to see that.

Please support Annihilation. It may not be the most rewatchable movie, but it is worth your time.

With stellar performances, visuals, a great story, and also some action...

I'll be giving Annihilation a perfect A+ or on an Imdb scale, 10/10!
