Annihilation

Rating: 9/10 (20 March 2020)

There is a saying that movies can transport to the world what we are seeing and that's what this movie did to me it was disturbing trippy hypnotic trippy hynotic I am repeating myself cause this is the most mind boggling movie I have ever seen. This movie is predictably about an alien invasion which created a shimmer like area which is ground zero for the military and scientist if anybody goes there nobody returns you are getting the sense of other movies yes you are right but that's where the similarities end and the real danger real original concepts starts to kick in. This is a nature vs nurture story and its very allegorical in the sense we are constantly tampering with the nature that's how mutation happens and can lead to fatal disasters it's a plague that can wipe out humanity and the newer ones will take place so that the new renaissance happens that's a dark theory i am just getting from this movie maybe I will be wrong anyone can give there perceptions of this movie. The cells regenarate and can mutate to so much infinite level that we will die someday that's the human flaw that's the start of the movie. So the extraterrestrials happens to come to earth and wants to evolve into something that will be infinite just like the cells but the hybrid of humans and aliens can merge but the cells will have a flaw, talking about flaws it's a story of human tendencies everyone is flawed and that trait drives thoroughout the movie the men never returned cause they get twisted by the shimmer and why the lead returned cause she has a pateince a aim to come home but with her own nefarious tendencies the flawed behaviour and the passion for finding something leads to her victory and eventual disastrous fate at the end. Maybe it's open ending I don't know and then comes the direction this is jaw dropping stuff Alex garland just nails the cosmic horror elements he is a knack for creating disturbing reality which wil feel real for the audience and the vfx is stunning for shoestring budget it's just dues ex machina happened oh right his debut film was ex machina getting it I just gave a referencial element to my review nevertheless this is the best horror sci fy of the decade. You will witness hell for 2 hours. Recommended
