Review of Annihilation (2018) by James O — 16 May 2018
Annihilation is a rare treat for those that love exciting and intelligent movies. It is full of beautiful imagery, bad ass women, and perhaps the most terrifying antagonist I have ever seen. Just like the primordial soup that gave birth to life on Earth, the "shimmer" has arrived by accident and is driven without logic or meaning towards a will to live.
The expression of this idea is marvelously executed and a feast for the eyes. I've seen it twice and both times the theater was nearly silent. Everyone was glued to the screen and waiting with bated breath as the story unraveled chaotically, mysteriously, perfectly in front of us.
