Annihilation review

Rating: Null/10 (5 May 2020)

Intriguing and intelligent, but also confusing, Annihilation is the kind of film that deserves a sequel or two in order to expand on ideas that sometimes feel only half-formed. Alec Garland's movie features a different kind of alien invasion - one that alters the environment it enters rather than killing those it encounters. Some do die, and in horribly imaginative ways, but it's to the film's credit that its cerebral and physical aspects complement one another so well within a relentlessly ominous atmosphere.
