I'm sure after reading a couple of user reviews you'll see that there is very little mid-ground on this movie. No gray, if you will.
It seems you ether LOVE this movie or you undoubtedly HATE it. If I am being perfectly honest, I nether love nor hate this movie.
I gave Annihilation a 7 out of 10; firstly, because the visuals of this film are phenomenal! Second to none, this movie takes you to another world. A world where everything is beautiful or terrifying!
I'd have to say Annihilation was much scarier then I thought it would be so if you're not looking for scary stay clear.
This movie is also extremely physiological so stay clear if you don't like movies messing with your head. I personally love thought provoking movies that's why I saw this.
Natalie Portman and Oscar Issac are flawless in this film, convincing me that this is real and giving me a connection to their characters on an emotional level. However, where Portman and Issac are amazing I am truly let down by Jennifer Jason Leigh as her part seems uninteresting and useless to the plot but her acting is quiet, shy, and not convincing in any way. 7 out of 10, 2 of those lost stars belong to her and the poor script.
The last fallen star belongs to some of the slowness of the film. There are 2 scenes that seem like they're lasting forever and nothing is happening.
All in all, a pretty great ride with few complaints.
I would not recommend this movie to anyone who is not physiologically sound as it tries hard to play with your mind.
Also, there is some very disturbing images that make this film have the R rating.
