Area X: Annihilation
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.
"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."
everyone else can talk about metaphorical deep meanings and narrative i'm here to beg gina rodriguez to top me
Fifth viewing in under thirty hours: (amongst an array of other themes) a flawless allegorical tackling of the inexplicably self-destructive nature of cancer -- with the bold belief in some sort of existence beyond death; that said obliteration is, in fact, merely an alteration, that dying is a simple change, rather than a conclusion -- as well as the perseverance, and resilience that it takes to overcome such a relentless & incomprehensible disease. I miss you, Dad, but I can still feel your presence enveloping me everyday, in everything.
Alex Garland makes very cool things.
Do not recommend eating dinner during the moving intestines Video.
P.s. there’s easier ways to become a tree after you die
i have no idea what this movie is about i put it on in a room full of 4 people and suddenly we're having sex
This is a rather unique watch but worth it. The films first act is brilliant paced and builds the incoming mysterious setting with major tension. The film excels as it enters its second and third acts, delving into the sci-fi genre with vibrance and fear.
The performances, especially Natalie Portman, are stellar. This is a brilliant watch, full of mystery and questions.
gente, quê?
> destaque: achei bonito que uma das personagens decidiu sobre si, uma escolha poética e que, unindo à outras cenas, revela sutilmente o que a levou até lá.
Nach wie vor absolut bildgewaltiger Sci-Fi-Horror im Geiste Lovecrafts, der in 4K unverschämt gut aussieht.
Can’t get over the acting performances in this!!! Everyone is just doing the business
Took sh***ms for the first time with the bf and we started watching this. Unfortunately we waited too long and the comedown started soon after they entered the shimmer, so we’re shelving it for now. But for the time before that it was fantastic.
This is my favourite movie and I’ve watched it well over 10 times but it felt like I was watching something completely new. Characters’ faces melting and transforming into OTHER faces, plant life seeming to be bursting out of the screen, camera perspective becoming distorted with some shots being way wider or way more zoomed in than I remembered, sometimes even taking on a fisheye lens quality.
And of course the story and dialogue itself provided plenty of material for us to ponder and discuss.
Can’t wait to go back to it this way.
