Annihilation - Alex Garland
Sci-Fi & Fantasy / Action & Adventure - R - 2018
From the mind of writer-director, Alex Garland, comes another visually stunning sci-fi adventure. Much like his previous film, Ex Machina, (One of my favorite films) Annihilation is an exploration into what it means to be human. While presenting different themes, I find it similar to the 2016 box-office smash, Arrival -- so if you enjoyed that film, it's safe to say you'll like this one too. Featuring strong performances from a mostly-female cast, Annihilation is a thought-provoking story that tackles various issues like depression and self-destruction. Not only is it filled with action and suspense, but it also takes a delve into what occurs in the calm moments surrounded by intensity. Annihilation is a movie that may warrant a rewatch to pick up on certain themes but overall emerges as a visually stunning and epic tale of human emotion and strength.
