Garland does it again.

Rating: Null/10 (23 February 2018)

I saw Annihilation last night on its preview,wasn't sure what to expect,and I walked out at the end in a daze. I have not read the books,I went in because of Garland and Portman,a combo for the ages,and I was very happy with what I saw,and felt. It starts out fairly simply,but by the end your head has been truly screwed with,in the best possible ways,for the most part the visuals are stunning, with a couple of ghastly gory bits that keep you on the edge. The film meanders about,the journey being as important as the finale and you are left with lots of unanswered questions,which I don't mind at all,this is thought provoking stuff. At several points I found myself slack jawed in awe, creeped out and mostly weirded out,WTF was that? It's more 2001 and Stalker than Blade Runner,if that is your thing? Then this is the movie for you.
