Not as good as the critics make you believe

Rating: 5/10 (1 July 2018)

I think Annihilation has good potential based on the story it is trying to tell but in reality this film is much worse than what you may believe.
The plot itself has many holes in it that I could hardly take it with any kind of seriousness. Yes, the highly trained group of military personnel all failed inside the shimmering thus you send a group of scientists, the least capable people in there to investigate? Are you kidding me with this kind of settings? Is that the best the government could come up with?
When I go watch a sci-fi I expect it to be reasonable and logical. If I just want to watch a horror film then yes I can go easy on the plot holes but Annihilation clearly isn't such film.
