A clueless, going nowhere, absolutely pointless garbage

Rating: Null/10 (14 March 2018)

Wow, this film is so bad, not just bad, pretentiously bad. The leading female actor in this film claimed as having 7 years military experience, yet in this film, she just looked like a regular woman without any military background. The so-called center piece, "Shimmering" was nothing but a foolish computerized graphic effect. Five women, after several special force teams disappeared behind the "Shimmering veil" , carrying guns(what for?) into the unknown, was just as ridiculous as you may imagine. The screenplay just felt like a half baked pie, most part of it still not baked through yet. If this film was adapted from a novel, then this novel definitely not good enough either. Since this film at the end proved to be just a pointless nonsense without proper answer and reasonable ending, it only showed that the whole project was going nowhere and when a usual length of a movie time was fulfilled, it just ended with a WTF?! a clueless final scene. I don't know how to define this film's genre, a horror film, a sci-fi film, or a mixture of sci-fi horror or, whatever. Actually, it doesn't matter at all.
If you are somehow interested in this kind of movie and the novel it was adapted from, then you should read Patrick Lee's "The Breach", "Deep Sky" and "Ghost Country". This trilogy will definitely blow you away. I can assure you, they are thousand times better than this "Annihilation" crap.
