Review of Annihilation (2018) by Jeff G — 18 Mar 2018
What a waste of a potentially good sci fi flick! Besides some slow moving scenes here and there and unnecessarily weird flashbacks about infidelity, I was mostly enjoying this movie. Then the final act happened and I realized that this movie was literally about nothing.
Nothing at all. Their was no real connection with any of the protagonists and no motivation whatsoever for the antagonists, ie the shimmer and the weird mutations. There was no rhyme or reason to this movie and by the end, you'll be scratching your head not out of a lack of understanding but out of frustration that the answers to the mysteries were so simplistic and nonsensical.
I truly can't comprehend why this has such a high critic rating when it is an absolute dud of a movie.
