This is what it feels like to chew 5 gum but in hell

I really like this film. It's bold and beautiful. Color scheme and production design are top notch. Doesn't feel the need to answer every question.
I hope this does well at the box office because Garland is trying something different here.

Saw it on the big screen at the DGA in LA.

the last 15 minutes of this movie are scarier than anything I’ve ever seen in my entire life

ANNIHILATION is like if Björk directed a remake of THE ABYSS.

...that’s obviously an endorsement. how *much* of an endorsement I don’t really know right now.

but yeah

"the silence around it is louder than usual."

very close to, if not pitch perfect cinema;

entirely encapsulates Our grief, Our dejection,
Our self-loathing, Our distrust, Our vulnerability
to the Natural, the Artificial; Our fears, Our desires.

both Our everyday interactions, the importance of
the Terrestrial, as well as Our curiosities, Our need
to know exactly what is lurking behind the curtain,
the dark hiding in secrecy, away from public view;

or if that curtain is simply the curtain of Our psyche,
Our identity, mutated, melted and metamorphosed.

"it's a trick of the light."

the cardboard cutout of oscar isaac i have in the corner of my room is very unsettling to me right about now

A film so visually beautiful and it haunts you to the core, but where its lacking is with some of the characters and the interrogation scene ruins the tension and mystery of what will happen to these characters. If it never cut back once to the interrogation you would be trapped with these characters in the complete unknown with all these terrible things happening to them as they slowly lose their minds, I feel that would be more effective.

Still has one of the most unsettling endings I've seen and Natalie Portman is fantastic with incredible directing coming from Alex Garland behind the camera, I cant qait for what's next.

Netflix

is this what it feels like to be on an acid trip

Strange.

this movie fucked me up so bad i’m still shaking. the lighthouse scene! that ending! what the fuck!!

film #13 of my 100 actors, 100 movies challenge

An ambitious mind fuck

So I had to read an article after watching this that explained the ending and it kind of made the whole film better for me because now I can have my ‘ohh’ moment. This was deeper than I thought it would be.

Bitch, what the actual fuck

Having figured out the film’s central metaphor, I like this film more!
