Annihilation will remind you why best movies are hard to find and why this one still makes into that list

Rating: 8/10 (14 March 2018)

Annihilation is one of those films that keeps on reminding that great films are hard to see and more harder when they pass by without making any mark of their presence. If you have watched the film and then have walked upto here to see other's opinions and reviews then you must know one thing for sure. Annihilation like all other great and finesse film esp. mother!, Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 will have polarized reviews. Great ones will talk about how fine this film is and bad ones will keep ranting how incoherent it is.
Annihilation is the first film adapted from the series of the book by Southern Reach Trilogy by Jeff VanderMeer where this one acts on the first book while others are in the upcoming. The story is about as said by IMDB "A biologist signs up for a dangerous, secret expedition where the laws of nature don't apply." I would not tell about that in here because that you can read it anywhere.
The best part of Annihilation comes in the totality of how it deals with the story and the outcome. The credits goes to the writer Jeff VanderMeer and the screenwriter and the film director Alex Garland for bringing the realism with no nonsensical cinema gimmicks but with sensational background score that is haunting and frightening. The works of Alex Garland has also been previously commendable thus he was the apt man for the screen adaptation. Talking about the performances, I would say that Natalie Portman as Lena makes the best out of what she holds and what he transpires out. She would remind you of Amy Adams as Louise Banks from ARRIVAL. Overall, the film has made the best usage of what it had. The only problem i have is that Paramount pictures have lost a big chunk of money by getting it on Netflix as in halls it would have earned its own repo but during this and next month would not be smart but if they have stepped in June then it would have.
The film reminds of many great and cult films that we have grown up watching which ranges from The Thing (1982), The Thing from Another World (1951), Predator (1987), Alien (1979), Arrival (2016) and many more that falls under this realm. Do watch it as soon as possible because cult goes always before we find them in their becoming.
