A mind-bending film that leaves you questioning everything you just watched

Rating: 7/10 (8 June 2018)

A unique outlook on an "alien race" whose who goal is to create change, to mutate what is already here. A mind-bending story that keeps you wondering what is controlling this all, and then when you find out, you're left with even more thoughts and ideas.
Inside the shimmer, as it is know, this "new world" creates new nature that is mutated from the nature that we know. From deer that have flowers as antlers and bears that scream as humans, the shimmer is the coming of a new world, based on ours, but new all on its own.
With a Natalie Portman film, comes the pro-women side as well. Annihilation offers up this team of women to save the day where the team of men have continued to fail. Not really a huge distraction for the film, but just knowing Portman she fought for this and would have it another way. The all women team did bring up an interesting side with your less standard how everything will happen, that added another layer of "what's going on here".
