Review of Annihilation (2018) by Cheezers — 21 Mar 2018
Maybe I just didn't get it. Maybe I'm just not a fan of these types of sci-fi movies. Either way, I left the theatre confused and questioning. That was the point of the movie, to have people confused and talking to others about what they thought of the movie.
I'll give the movie credit for being visually impressive and achieving it's goal, but I don't think it's a fair excuse to say "well the movie is supposed to be confusing," to justify a film which has very little connections from scene to scene and did not really elaborate on the mysterious and vague moments it offered.
If you're expecting a sci-fi action film then you'll probably walk out a little disappointed. All that being said though, I was never bored, and I liked how the movie kept trying to have me make sense of things to just later throw all my logic out the window.
Overall, Annihilation was fun but not the "What a fantastic movie," kind of fun, more of a "I wonder what weird thing is going to happen next," fun.
