Annihilation
Lena, a biologist and former soldier, joins a mission to uncover what happened to her husband inside Area X -- a sinister and mysterious phenomenon that is expanding across the American coastline. Once inside, the expedition discovers a world of mutated landscapes and creatures, as dangerous as it is beautiful, that threatens both their lives and their sanity.

Paramount executives were concerned Garland's movie was "too intellectual" and "too complicated" to appeal to wider audiences. What rubbish - Annihilation is the thrilling, smart science-fiction movie you need in your life...March 12, 2018
Portman's high-tension acting, her inability to relax, suits the material down to the ground. It's one of her best performances ...March 11, 2018
Quietly, pervasively uncomfortable.March 12, 2018
A spectacular work of science fiction that not only gets under your skin but it becomes part of it.February 26, 2018
Annihilation is some heady nightmare fuel, but its most striking quality may be how little it has in common with the current trends in mainstream science fiction.March 12, 2018
It's one of the most stunning displays of directorial vision in recent memory, sure to be a classic of the genre in the years to come.February 26, 2018
In this numbingly ludicrous science-fiction drama, written and directed by Alex Garland, a talented cast of actors play undeveloped characters delivering leaden dialogue in a haphazard story that's filmed with a bland slickness.February 28, 2018
Making movies steeped in vagueness these days is proving to be an excellent way to earn critical praise, but being artfully ambiguous strikes me as a way to cover for not being able to finish the job.March 12, 2018
The movie's tug-of-war between thrills and fuzzy philosophical waxing results in something much too close to a zero-sum game.February 27, 2018
Annihilation's commitment to older psychoanalytic (and deconstructionist) models for the self and its inexpressible shadows makes this a readily accessible drama of emotion.February 23, 2018
This movie, unlike something produced for mass audiences, is about what happens in the calm moments between the loud, splashy sequences.March 02, 2018
Garland's version is a worthy mutation.
