A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Utter crap! What a complete waste of time. Pathetic attempt at being artistic and failing!

So. It seems that its enough to put some fantastical visuals here and there, plus an open ending that doesn't make sense but "it is cool" to make some get a little bit confused about the quality of a movie.This is trash. All the flaws have excuses "we are experimenting the events by an unreliable source""the aliens aren't good nor bad and don't want anything and aren't anything but a reflection"... except when the movie needed them NOT TO BE that to make the movie more entertaining. If someone question this: "We can't be sure if we can trust the one telling the story (unreliable)".Nah.Besides. The movie is just absolutely boring. And the characters half dimensional and BORING.

Unlikehis debut venture, Annihilation is not everyone's cup of coffee. It's an adventure but with so many possibilities, which is either way ends with confusion and This movie exactly did that. For it's complicated structure the movie tanked at the box office but who cares! Garland and his team delivered one of the best movie of this year.
Direction, Performances, Cinematography, Score, Sound Design, Production Design, Visuals, every goddamn thing was perfect & special credit to Sonoya Mizuno for her terrifying motion capture performance as an Humanoid.
It was worth my time & who loves Andrei Tarkvosky's Solaris and his other features, I guaranteed you'll not disappoint.

Ex Machina and Annihilation are both directed by Alex Garland, and both dissect the delicate relationship between man and mystery. While Ex Machina investigates the relationship between mankind and machines, Annihilation investigates man and nature. The parallels between the two films are striking, but Annihilation falls short in comparison, despite having two strong legs to stand on. Some of the scenery felt cheesy, but the story was satisfying.
