Review of Annihilation (2018) by Eludiumq36 — 13 Jul 2018

Great concept and some of the execution was really good, but much of it was kind of dumb. Take for instance the all female team sent into The Shimmer. That's a bit too much grrl power and ultra-feminist to be plausible.

The pace of the film and the wait-till-the-end-for-the-payoff was very similar to "Arrival" which I also didn't like, but wanted to. Look, I'm biased to like these sci-fi films but they keep failing to deliver and that's borne out in its revenue, only $32M domestic and not even released internationally.
