kaiFeb 27, 2018my only criticism about the ending is that the shimmer is a lesbian icon who did nothing wrong but she still gets destroyed ... ugh hollywood sure loves to bury their gays 🙄

This is one where you have to Google ending theories
nic likedAnnihilationDefinitely had to look up the ending and what the film was supposed to represent in general, but it still has you hooked with an interesting storyline & incredible cinematography. My favorite theory I’ve read was that the film represents the destructive nature of cancer!
Izaak Whisler lovedAnnihilationMe the whole time watching this movie: Wow this ultra dystopian landscape with ungodly horrors beyond comprehension sure is spooky. I hope they don’t blow the ending. Me after witnessing the third act: 😳
- Simon Olson likedAnnihilation
Yeah this is really good and definitely a movie that makes you think a little deeper. The entire movie is almost a metaphor and this sort of battle between destruction and construction and how that plays into each other. I think when I rewatch this at some point I’ll be able to catch more details…
Allie M lovedAnnihilationThat damn bear scene will go down as one of the scariest scenes I’ve experienced in a theater… and also one of my favorites.
Puff Cheeto likedAnnihilationi’m so confused, but it was very entertaining and aesthetically pleasing
- Buxop is "meh" onAnnihilation
5/10. I think authors only had a main concept of the movie and couldn’t get any further. It isn’t sustainable. All the characters except the main one are plain. I recommend watching only first and last 20 minutes. Everything else is a waste. Arrival is similar but much better.
Pennywise lovedAnnihilationI hate that it took me so long to watch this movie. I also thought it would be way more confusing than it was, 10/10
Natalia dislikedAnnihilationwhat? it was so strange... and learning about annihilation at physic didn't help... we had even more crazy theories

It was like an LSD trip into the unknown.
KCKate CapuanoI am still whirling and trying to figure out what to think. It was really good. It was amazingly creative and very different from almost anything I have ever seen. Wow!
ACAaron ClowAfter I saw this in the theater, it was such an experience I had to go see it again. it isn't perfect, but it is definitely the kind of sci-fi experience that you only get once in a decade. It's a beautiful and intense mix of Alien and Arrival. I know I will be thinking…

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…
DRDuberto RodriguezMovies was very original. Felt like it took me to another dimension.
VBValerie BishopNothing like the books! Really no plot at all! But it was visually stunning and there were some scary scenes.

My husband liked it but I found it very predictable.

Liking Ex Machina is no guarantee of liking Annihilation or vice versa. In terms of tone, Annihilation is a close cousin to Arrival. There’s the same dark atmosphere and bleak sense of discovery.

Portman is eminently watchable as Lena, who slowly realizes that she’s in way over her head. And “Ex Machina” star Isaac virtually redefines creepiness.

Yet the most striking, shaking moment in Annihilation has nothing to do with Area X or the perverted flora and fauna within it. Rather, it's when the film's spare score is interrupted by the folksy strains of Crosby, Stills Nash's Helplessly Hoping.
