Annihilation
2018 · Alex Garland · 115 min · Sci-Fi, Horror, Drama
Annihilation is the kind of sci-fi film that trades easy answers for lasting unease. Garland delivers a visually stunning, thematically rich exploration of self-destruction and transformation that builds to one of the most hypnotic finales in recent genre filmmaking. The supporting characters are underdeveloped and the middle stretch drags, but the imagery and ideas stay with you long after the film ends. It's not for everyone, but for the audience it's built for, it's unforgettable.
