It could have been better.

Rating: 5/10 (21 May 2019)

Annihilation is a movie that is in the middle for me. The strongest aspect has to be the interesting and disturbing story that is a bit slow (that doesn't mean it's a bad thing), but the pacing does get better in the middle and it's great from there to the end credits. Unfortunately the movie does suffer from weak and wooden acting, fake CGI and bland screenplay. Natalie Portman's character is the only one that i cared about, while the others are very uninteresting, even when they start dying one by one you don't feel nothing for them. The cinematography was great in many areas, but there are also weak or very standard shots, most of the music is fantastic and the sound is amazing. The things that the movie succeeds in is where the direction is great, but other than that it could have been better. I will definitely see it again in the future.
