"Annihilation": Tear it Down and Start Again

Rating: 7/10 (8 June 2019)

What if the human race got a do-over? This seems to be the overarching premise of the fascinating and fantastic sci-fi drama "Annihilation".
What is indisputable is that the five actresses who play the leads in this film are individually and collectively exceptional. Don't call them bad ass babes. And don't you dare call this a "chick flick". What these ladies, in real life and by way of their fine performances, SHOULD be called, as a wise man of few words, my beautiful father, would say, is "substantial".
And Dad would mean that as a supreme compliment.
