Review of Annihilation (2018) by Goldyray Y — 22 Mar 2018

This movie's trailer is very misleading. I would describe it more as a thoughtful sci-fi adventure. It was both beautiful and creepy in almost a Lovecraftian way. This isn't a straight up horror movie though, don't expect jump scares or ghosts or anything.

It's more alien than that, and I mean that in the sense of the environment. Basically something hit a lighthouse and it's growing shimmer that nobody's come out of and that won't ruin anything.

That's the beginning to give you an idea. I was captivated the whole time and can't believe that some of the ideas in this movie weren't thought of before.
