I saw it on Netflix some time back. It's . . . different.
It's not Ghostbusters, it's not Alien 3, it's not Arrival, it's all of them plus more.
It has nice visuals, best for the big screen (it made $40 million @ the box office from a $40 million budget).
Psychologic flick big time, where the mind of each person is wavering into multiple directions...free to interpret and travel.
Overall there is an atmosphere of disconnect, for me, but the intrigue kept me watching in search.
All the best visuals in the world, the CGI effects, the monsters, the music score, tra-la-la, they can only support what the film does to each person in its impacting the brain.
It's tough because this film has no message, no solution, it's a free zone for each person...my perception.
The rating from zero to one hundred is more reflective of the impact on each individual, it is not a mass consensus, here more than other films, I think.
@ the end I wasn't more advanced than @ the beginning. There is an original book from what this film is loosely based on, and a trio of books, a trilogy. I know nothing, I've read nothing, I only briefly checked wiki.
I find that a rating is not a guide on anything but a personal preference or deception.
Overall:
69
Last word: It's a personal journey of mind traveling, without specific destination but escales between.
We follow the actresses wherever they venture, and their acting, convincing, is very important. It makes all the difference in the world, I think. I wasn't convinced.
It's a little too far-fetched @ times, inconsistent in its overall atmosphere, but it has some great parts.
...Very personal. I might revisit it one day, or not. I will not get the UHD Blu-ray.
If someone says it's a masterpiece, I will not object.
If someone says it's a confusing deception, I will not object.
It is that type of film, more so than other films.
Annihilation: Rated R for violence, bloody images, language and some sexuality .
