Visually Stunning

Alex Garland directed an adaption that was unadaptable and I loved it.
I'm not a huge sci-fi fan but this film was amazing. This film is the definition of cosmic horror with its Lovecraftian elements. It's like a dream.
I don't believe a film should appeal to audiences just because it's on mainstream screens but rather it should appeal to it's true fans of the books. This film is an interpretation of the book and not necessarily a summary like many adaptions.
Annihilation is about m self destruction which is a normal part of growth. The ways people self destruct, the hidden ways and the obvious ways.
The film has a hallucinogenic atmosphere which leads to a sense of dread towards the end. The soundtrack is amazing which makes everything feel dreamlike.
