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

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

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.

A light six. Close to a five.
"Annihilation" has some great features. The color palette and the production design are all beautiful and detailed, which I admire. The cinematography doesn't have anything extraordinary besides that. It is a good movie nonetheless, I understand why it may be controversial.
The themes are there and it makes an interesting point about the things we don't know and how we always prefer to go with the "they're bad" approach. How not knowing always leads us to fear, to attack and to mean. Basically, I think it's a great argument to explore in a science fiction film.
Can't say that it works. Because it doesn't. There are interesting scenes like they, aliens, use DNA…

Alex Garland's science fiction horror is beautiful, intriguing and wilfully ambivalent. Is it about ecological disaster and the damage we do to the environment? The onset of senile dementia? The debilitating effects of cancer? Garland has created a wonderfully eerie and often visually stunning film which rewards repeat viewings.

'Annihilation' is sharing the same logic problems with 'Alien: Covenant' but at least the trip itself was more enjoyable and interesting. It also is one of the better "all female team" movies by far.
I liked the work they put in the visuals. kinda reminded me of 'The Last Of Us'. It was pleasant to look at everything.
Also liked the soundtrack, which accompanied the pictures and story very well.
The cast was good and everyone played their roles very well. But as i mentioned, the movie is flawed in its logic, which could've been solved very simply but just left ignored for some reason, which is kinda sad.
BUT, if you can leave it out of your head (which i - at first - actually did), you can lean back and enjoy a neat sci-fi... mystery movie.
