Good concept, poorly executed.

Beautiful, moving film.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

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

This movie is probably one of the best from 2018. It won't be to everyone's taste but it is well worth a watch. The concept is original and the design and execution is fantastic. The soundtrack, acting and editing all add to the atmosphere. It is really quite unsettling at times, the fear of this great unknown. To some viewers the movie would feel slow and dull, but imo the pacing was just right. There were also a couple of genuinely quite scary moments! It's a great independent movie to watch

I watched this movie mainly because I haven't seen it yet and sometimes have trouble finding something new to watch. I had no expectations and no knowledge of the movie going in. The acting is good, the story is good, the special effects are cool, it's a little creepy in places but not unnecessarily gory and there is no bad horror. My only real issue with this movie is that there is a slight sidestory that seems totally unnecessary and doesn't have anything to do with the main plot. Other than that, it's a good flick. This movie does end with questions however so don't expect everything to be there up in a neat little bow at the end. Enjoy.

Ex Machina and Annihilation are both directed by Alex Garland, and both dissect the delicate relationship between man and mystery. While Ex Machina investigates the relationship between mankind and machines, Annihilation investigates man and nature. The parallels between the two films are striking, but Annihilation falls short in comparison, despite having two strong legs to stand on. Some of the scenery felt cheesy, but the story was satisfying.

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?
