Annihilates most of Hollywood's recent output!

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 2018)

An intellectually challenging masterpiece, that may divide audiences, but those who connect with the film's themes will find much to enjoy and celebrate in a refreshingly intelligent science fiction film.
Annihilation was every bit as good as I'd hoped for and possibly even better than anticipated.
No spoilers, but it was visually sumptuous, with excellent performances all round.
Horrifyingly and equally beautiful, with elements of Arrival, The Thing, Alien, Under The Skin with some Cronenberg body horror thrown in for good measure, but combining all these elements into an original vision-no mean feat!
Another triumph from Alex Garlend, who is fast becoming one of the most interesting filmmakers to watch today.
