An okay Sci-fi thriller that you might say was pretty good

Rating: 7/10 (14 March 2018)

If you liked The Thing (2011) and Solaris (2002) you should like Annihilation.
What made this movie different than most are the strong female roles. I felt this was a plus. All the roles could have switched genders and been more mainstream.
Another difference is the modest use of ACTION. More of the screen time was devoted to exploring the characters and the zone inside the shimmer rather than guns blazing. I felt this was also a plus.
All around it was a good movie except for some decisions made while exploring inside the shimmer. Many american movies have characters do dumb things so someone can die. You get that here too. I tried to explain it away but it was difficult. Even so I did enjoy Annihilation.
7/10
