Excellent Sci-fi film with existential themes

Rating: 8/10 (4 December 2018)

I always enjoy intelligent Science Fiction and we've really been treated by a good smattering of one's in recent years such as Arrival and Ex Machina and now "Annihilation". This is a smart Lovecraftian film that really moves beyond the standard tropes of the genre. Really makes you think. It's well acted with a very original story though I did think the characters were a bit boring. The visual effects were BREATHTAKING and the thoughtful pacing deliberately moved at a slow burn to a mind bending climax. If you are into thought provoking science fiction like "Solaris", "Stalker" or "Interstellar" than this is the film for you. Highly recommended.
