Watch Annihilation For Free

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

I don't normally enjoy nonlinear films anyway, and when I have, it has to be truly engulfing to rival how disjointed the story is. Annihilation is an example of a film so disjointed and jarring, that I truly believe the sole purpose of its creation is to frustrate viewers. I liked nothing about it, but I give it two stars for atmosphere.

So. It seems that its enough to put some fantastical visuals here and there, plus an open ending that doesn't make sense but "it is cool" to make some get a little bit confused about the quality of a movie.This is trash. All the flaws have excuses "we are experimenting the events by an unreliable source""the aliens aren't good nor bad and don't want anything and aren't anything but a reflection"... except when the movie needed them NOT TO BE that to make the movie more entertaining. If someone question this: "We can't be sure if we can trust the one telling the story (unreliable)".Nah.Besides. The movie is just absolutely boring. And the characters half dimensional and BORING.

I can't forget Sheppard's scream in that beast's mouth ...

Typical stereotypical 2018 Hollywood film. Only women allowed. Not one of them is allowed to be flaunting or sexy. The world is threatened and a masculine female leads four women into the unknown. They begin to panic and wet their panties. Yup that makes sense... and the poor shellshocked husband? Well, he is as relevant as the beefcake in Ghostbusters 2016 or the men in the female Mad Max. Keep on making all-ugly female movies like this and The Last Jedi...PS: Half a dozen reviews tell us that there are all these hidden messages, allegories, metaphors and deep deep philosophies in this film yet none of them would tell us what they may be. Could they be referring to the idea that the end of civilization is here and they have an EMS nag and a masculine cross dresser go seek answers?
