Annihilation Review


Annihilation is an extremely weird sci-fi movie and I absolutely adored it. This movie is about a biologist who joins a dangerous expedition into a place where the laws of nature do not apply. Natalie Portman gives possibly the best performance of her career. She plays every aspect of her character perfectly. Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez and Tessa Thompson all give fantastic performances as the rest of the team. Oscar Isaac and Benedict Wong also give great performances in small but crucial roles. Director and Writer Alex Garland did an incredible job. The script constantly keeps you intrigued and he builds the tension extremely high. Rob Hardy did a great job as cinematographer. This is a truly hauntingly beautiful movie to watch.  As for flaws, the first 20 minutes moved a bit to slow but after that it moves at a perfect pace. As a warning I will say this movie does include some extremely disturbing imagery at times. Overall I adored Annihilation and I highly recommend it for hardcore sci-fi fans.
9/10
