Something quite original

Rating: 9/10 (14 March 2018)

Annihilation received completely mixed reviews and in my opinion there is nothing better than that since it only makes you want to see it more and find out what certain people did not like at all and why it also received quite a lot of praise.
I believe it is quite an original film. Slow paced but never boring with lush photography and solid performances. It will probably appeal to fans of films with a dark and ominous atmosphere and beautiful visuals with mild elements of horror. But if you expect a full on action packed sci-fi than this is probably not for you. There have been some complaints that it does not make much sense. It is true that a lot is left open but the film was obviously deliberately made that way. It actually makes you think about what you have just seen and you have to make sense of it. Not many films these days actually do that and offer something a bit abstract.
All in all, since the reviews are so mixed, I suggest you see it and make up your own mind about it.
