Review of Annihilation (2018) by Arielprime — 24 Feb 2018
Annihilation, directed by Alex Garland is the most intriguing sci-fi film I’ve experienced in a long time. It’s really obscure to describe, but its about an alien meteorite that crash lands in a park on earth and it proceeds to bizarrely affect the environment flora and fauna.
Natalie Portman delivers a solid performance as well as Gina Rodirguez and Tessa Thompson. To be honest with ya’ll there were plenty of times that I was just looking over to my girl saying “what the hell is going on?” but don’t take it negatively, we were extremely invested.
There’s plenty of ambiguity, it really made me think. It’s the kind of film you see and will likely speak for 30 minutes or more about it after watching it. I love that, especially in the sci-fi genre, a film that makes you think.
Overall Annihilation is the best sci-fi film I’ve seen in a while, it made me think, beautiful cinematography, super trippy, it made me ask what the hell is going on, and it a visually engaging.
