Within First 30min You Will Be Clued Up To How Bad This Is

Rating: 1/10 (13 March 2018)

Maybe like me you were fooled into watching this because you thought "how bad can a move by director of Ex Machina can be?" I am now learning that producers put this line on the cover when a movie is especially BAD.
US movie makers have been going through a lot of forced changes since early 2016. A breed of reviewers calling themselves pop-critics wanted more women in movies just for sake of being a woman, not talent or skills. You know who they voted in 2016 US elections.
This lack of good acting and talent cannot be more apparent from watching Natalie Portman's from very beginning of the movie. Why would anyone hire this bad actress beggars belief. Then she meets the director of the exploration team - a woman. And before the mission, she meets another 3 other female biologists (in a scene where I counted 7 women and 3 men). You cannot make this type of blatant discrimination up. Somehow you the viewer are being brainwashed to believe that these women will succeed where trained military and male scientists have failed! I now understand what was meant by "where laws of nature don't apply anymore." This movie is in same category as all-female Ghostbusters and latest Star Wars by JJ Abrams. It is about pushing an ideological agenda rather than a story.
But let me go back to the beginning. The first few scenes of this movie is a right rip off of the great movie "The Signal," a movie I thoroughly recommend you to watch to come out of the depression and coma that Annihilation will induce you into. I am giving this dull movie 1 out of 10 as it lacks all manner of credibility, passion, action and good acting. Get your money back.
