Last 30 minutes were pretty bad-ass...male actor/Portman's husband sucked. Poor casting on that character...

Could have almost done away with the marriage/affair sub-plot all together...could have developed a different angle to get Portman to the "shimmer".

It was a cool movie...for sure. Tons of hermetic influence..especially the lady shooting fire out of her mouth/dissipating into 1000's of little energies.

People didn't know what to think when they were leaving...which was amusing.

Hollywood needs to make more movies like this...

I'm not one who usually feels scared or terrified when watching any kind of film, but

Mentally this had a similar effect on me as Mother! did, where I just sat for a few minutes in my seat after the credits, devoid of most thought just soaking up what I had seen.

The character's story is lacking, but overall it is an enjoyable film for sure. ****ing beautiful.

Your post inspired me to see both movies...and I agree. You do sit there for awhile as the credits roll trying to digest and comprehend what just happened. That's rare nowadays and I love it

Haven't seen the movie (yet). I read the book and didn't find it all that interesting. Maybe it's just too far over my head. The reviews I've seen are fairly positive and indicate that the book and movie are similar in that there is an area where strange things happen to life forms at the genetic level and the group going in are women instead of men.

I wasn't crazy about this one. I can see why the studio dumped it.

Cool bear though.

I enjoyed this and good follow up to Ex Machina.

One issue I had with the latter parts

Just watched it last night.

WTF did I just watch????? Trippy as hell....

I really liked it.

Had to watch it twice. I couldn't decide if I loved or hated the ending. I finally decided I loved it.

Oh, and for all the "wamen's need more representation" and "finally a wamen's so and so" this film didn't get much love. Pretty much an all female cast and they did an excellent job IMO. Nothing was forced or contrived it just happened that way. Why wasn't this flick celebrated as pro woman and all the rest?...

What I don't get is there are flicks like this one and Arrival with excellent female performances and the more-wamen's crowd pays no attention.

I guess if they admitted they already can find exactly what they want they wouldn't have anything to bitch about anymore.

But Ghostbusters was touted as the ultimate SJW victory lap before it bombed (technically - it looked horribad to start).

I think the real deal is there isn't a male comparison. Ghostbusters had a good Ghostbusters. Wonder Woman has Superman. Captain Marvel has Thor or whatever.

Annihilation doesn't have an male counterpart. So even though it is a good movie featuring women and should be touted as such, it's not because there is nobody's face to rub it in.
