I brought the blu ray version and didn't like my blu ray copy. I brought to upgrade to 4K. I'm happy i got the 4K version.

Really a 4.5... thrilling story excellent performances

I think overall this was a good movie and worth checking out it’s 4k presentation with great visuals and audio.

Annihilation's first 10 minutes are strong and build the mystery and suspense. Soon after that, the characters begin to make decisions to advance the plot, and the movie begins to go downhill. The movie will entertain with spectacle, lots of CGI and color to keep the simple part of your brain entertained. Every now and again, something happens truly interesting that keeps you watching, and you are expecting to understand by the end. But at the end, everything that happens is basically called space magic (heavily simplifying to avoid spoilers) followed by an ambiguous and contradicting final scene. I would say if you are looking for a slow burn CGI spectacle, watch Annihilation. If you are expecting a thought-provoking story, skip this one. Only gave 3 stars for the visuals. 2 for the plot.

This movie is great, has amazing FUNNY lines, fast action, really sets a nice pace. The sound is great, can't say enough good things about the sound, it has what you expect for the money you spend on a disk of this magnitude, the money they spent was well placed. You get high quality content. The CGI is so realistic you forget its CGI and just fall into the story and lose yourself in the emotion and staging of the drama and action.

I can’t say enough about the story and the soecisk effects of this movie in 4K o. My 4K hid tv

Excellent syfy movie with nods to old school style suspense with mind blowing special effects.

Sci-Fi Terror and Horror is on Steroids Now and it is Totally worth the watch and it is Cinematically, Realistically and Aesthetically Grimm For Horror Cinema in Speculative Fiction.

Annihilation is a must see movie for science fiction fans. The film is directed by Alex Garland, who made his directorial debut with 2015's Ex Machina. This is an intelligent film, posing serious questions to the audience and not bending over backwards to deliver easy answers. It has a great cast, headlined by Natalie Portman and featuring Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, Tuva Novotny and Oscar Isaac. It is based on a popular book series, Jeff VanderMeer’s best-selling Southern Reach Trilogy, but the movie really stands on its own and is not entirely beholden to the source material. The 4K disc version is exclusive to Best Buy, so don't go looking for it anyplace else. The 4K is definitely worth buying, as the film offers some really fantastic visuals. The package also comes with the standard blu-ray and a digital redemption copy. Don't miss out on picking up this film. Fans of Garland's work won't be disappointed.

Alex Garland is one of the most exciting science fiction filmmakers working today. Look at his resume, he wrote 28 DAYS LATER, SUNSHINE, SUNSHINE, and DREDD. He made the jump to writer/director with the smart and chilling EX MACHINA. His latest effort pulling double duty, ANNIHILATION, is an ultimately humanistic look at the alien first contact and alien invasion genres. With top-notch performances, effects, and music, it’s a must see for fans of brainy sci fi. Natalie Portman plays a damaged and lonely biology professor who’s also ex military. Her husband, played by Oscar Isaac in what amounts to an extended cameo, is a covert ops soldier that’s been missing in action for a year. When he appears back at their house out of the blue, it sets in motion a chain of events that will show us what happened to him and allow us insight into their relationship. See, a meteor crashed into a remote barren swamp, creating some sort of weird expanding field around the site from which no one has returned except him. To go into any more detail than that would be to ruin some of the pleasures the film has to offer. Based on the first novel of Jeff VanderMeer’s SOUTHERN REACH TRILOGY, the mystery of what’s going on within “the Shimmer” is one of the key elements that helps give momentum to the somewhat languid pacing. Additionally, the surprising musical choices and flashbacks break the creeping tension of the events occurring within the bizarre landscape while providing humanity to the otherworldly tone. Jennifer Jason Leigh and Tessa Thompson deliver strong supporting performances as members of the exploratory team. The special effects, ranging from subtle to exuberant, are excellent. Sound design, something that many audiences take for granted, is outstanding. At times flirting with body horror, the picture delivers some shocking imagery in spots. Do you like smart sci fi? If so, don’t read anything about ANNIHILATION, just see it. The most immediate comparisons I can think of would be Denis Villeneuve’s ARRIVAL and Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A SPACE ODDYSSEY in terms of tone and approach. Fair warning, the ending is very much open to interpretation. This isn’t a story that’s spoon fed to you. Though highly humanistic, it’s also very symbolic and introspective. Additionally, my favorite comic book writer Alan Moore is name checked in the special features. Keep an eye out and see if you can spot his influence on the picture. I watched this on 4K UHD and it looked and sounded excellent. I will continue to watch anything Alex Garland makes, as he is becoming a master of uncompromising and intellectual science fiction.

I waited to get this one. Was worth the wait! Great sci fi and actors/special effects.

Interesting movie. Wish it was longer and didn’t end so abruptly. They should have developed the story further. Otherwise, it was a well done movie. Jennifer Jason Leigh and Natalie Portman were great. Cool movie but felt somewhat rushed.

Words cannot accurately describe this film. It’s so hard. It’s a painful film. An allegory for depression, and all that come along with that. It’s visceral, in tone and visually. It’s beautiful; delicate at times in scenery, but also macabre. The unknown is not evil, it’s just existing, and just so happens to be affecting those who come in contact with it. Please see this film. It’s fantastic.

This movie is a psychological thriller and keeps you engaged at every turn.

Great movie. I watched it several times so it's nice to have on BluRay.

Yet another 'thing from outer space out to kill everything on the planet' movie. It's not bad to watch if you have time to kill - some parts are good, but the ending leaves a bit to be desired.

Annihilation is a visually stunning movie based on the trilogy book series.

This film is great and I'm glad I could find it with the slipcover.

An absolutely visually stunning movie, natalie portman is awesome in it!

The script for this movie is not conventional. It's one of those movies that sits with you for 2 days after watching it. It's a cerebral film and doesn't really fit the mold of a horror movie, though it is quite disturbing. This film takes the uncanny valley to a new dimension and it's riveting. Absolutely worth owning but it might not be for everyone.
