The verbal confirmation of what was already in my mind always a pleasure. The acknowledgement of our recognition only further substantiates his talent, at least, it does to me.
Saw this film early today. Man, trying to remember it all feels like a dream. He definitely made it feel unnatural and unworldly in a strange and beautiful way. Have to go for another viewing:)
I just saw the film and I LOVED it. What a movie; visually stunning, excellent musical score, great storyline, wonderful acting and entirely thought-provoking. Thank you.
I saw this movie three times in theaters before it went out, and honestly I wish I would've seen it a fourth. There's so much to pick up on and think about even after viewing - it's definitely become one of my favorites. Can't wait to buy it on blu-ray.
Even though it was taken down from (most) cinemas, you can tell that Annihilation is picking up momentum thanks to the word of mouth. Saw it on Netflix, but Im picking up this scifi-gem on bluray - this belongs in my movie library.
such a shame that it isn't getting a theatrical release in a lot of places, it is a gorgeous film. Also, does anyone remember that awful Lost in Space movie from the early '00's? this movie is kind of that last bit with the time bubble, but better. Or maybe what Jane did after dumping Thor.
It was released straight to netflix here... I wish i saw it in cinemas as the soundtrack would be make the movie so much more intense on a big sound system
why does he tilt his head like that? and why is his head shaking when he does it? Reminds me about that explanation Blair Brown gave in Fringe about the observers...
I FEEL SORRY FOR NATALIE AND THE CAST THAT HAD TO BE PUT THROUGH THIS. THERE IS JUST NO DEPTH TO IT,BAD EDITING,BORING STORY LINE AND JUST VERY DISMAL AND HORRIFIC BLAND SHOTS THROUGH OUT THE FILM . NATALIE AND JENNIFER DESERVED TO BE IN A SCI FI FILM THAT WAS AS INTENSE AS THE ORIGINAL BLADERUNNER,ALIEN,ICHI THE KILLER,AND THE MATRIX ON AND ON. MOVIES THAT MADE A TRUE SCI FI IMPACT. THIS FILM LOOKS LIKE A FIRST YEAR NOVICE DIRECTOR AND WRITER WITH A 70,000$ FOR BUDGET FOR TV. I CANT GET OVER HOW BLAND IT LOOKS COMPARED TO WHAT A TRUE INTENSE OUT SIDE OF THE BOX DIRECTOR COULD HAVE WROTE AND DIRECTED A FILM THAT WAS TRULY WAS CAPTIVATING FROM BEGINNING TO END. ANNIHILATION IS STALE.... AND THAT'S A SHAME HAVING NATALIE AND JENNIFER IN A SUCH LAME STORY LINE WITH NO REAL ACTING FROM TWO GREAT ACTRESSES THAT NEEDED A DIFFERENT SCI FI FEEL ALL TOGETHER AND A DIRECTOR TO PUSH THEM TO GET THE BEST OUT OF THEM..... ONCE AGAIN NATALIE AND JENNIFER YOU DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER. THEN SOMETHING THAT LOOKED LIKE A LATE NIGHT PUBLIC ACCESS 2$ MOVIE... I HATE BEING HARD ON CREATIVE PEOPLE FOR WHAT ALL IT TAKES TO MAKE A MOVIE BUT THIS WAS JUST EMBARRASSING I'M SAD TO SAY.....
Dude, that's exactly my thought, the whole movie is about that fucking point. Has to be, the very last graphics with those eerie DMT crackles and spiraling fractals gave it away, but only people with an ego death psychedelic experience will get that and thus get the real point of the movie, love it!
the last question was the best! I'm glad he mentioned Stalker
Federico Balducci what's that

A 1979 Tarkovsky film. And he's right, anyone who's seen it will think of it during Annihilation.
I was so glad too! I knew it was inspired by Stalker after watching it.
Antonio Díaz Me too! I am glad that many people recognize that and that we turned out to be right!

This man is a brilliant filmmaker that is very articulate in relaying his ideas to the audience. So glad he doesn't think the audience are all idiots!
Loved this freaking movie. Saw it twice.

It's like doing DMT and shrooms at the same time.
