Customer Ratings & Reviews

This movie creates some stunning set-pieces and introduces some thought-provoking ideas. It doesn't spoon-feed answers and leaves you to interpret many events on your own, which is refreshingly real. We don't get to know everything in life and the mysteries are what make the universe simultaneously magical and terrifying. This movie captures that perfectly.

Totally forgetable. Had to watch the trailers to remember anything about it. Pass on it.

This movie was okay for about 75%, then it turned strange. The 4k quality is good though!

This movie is a wonderful parallel universe type story. It uses the bond of a husband and wife to show the driving motivation behind the willingness to face all kinds of dangers to save the one you love and others as well. The movie has heart, stunning visuals, and interesting sci-fi elements that keep you engaged all the way until the end.

One of the things I like about A nihilation is its premise of humans encountering aliens - and the idea that aliens will be unlike anything our science can extrapolate on based on our knowledge of Earth and the universe we have amassed so far. The movie looks great on 4K video, as the movie was actually shot in 4K. So it really lives on home video.

I didnt like this movie the first time I watched it but I liked it much more the 2nd time.

As a huge Alex Garland fan I was not disappointed with this film. It has some great concepts and storytelling. I can imagine some being turned off by the conclusion, but I found it interesting. Some genuinely terrifying moments were a nice surprise. My biggest complaint was the CG. Some shots with artificial lighting were an eye sore.

This movie definitely has its kubrickian moments. I found it similar to the Russian movie Stalker, and the movie The Astronaut’s Wife, even though those are two completely different movies from each other. Parts of this movie will stick with you for awhile. I read that the studio wanted to change the ending to make it more conventional, but the director stuck to his guns. It’s good to see a stand-alone sci fi movie that hasn’t been watered down to the lowest common denominator, in this age of the movie franchise.

Not a bad movie but not a great movie. Really makes your think while watching it

Interesting venture into horror/sci-fi. After The Thing and Aliens of course.

While Black Panther shot across the cinema world like the Flash, this film suffered for lack of attention and being sponsored by a company that normally does stuff for tv like HBO. Well paced and led by mostly female parts this film had me from the get go. Look out for the "bear scenes" later in the film.

Worth watching but difficult to follow. Recommend viewing with no distractions.

Good entertaining movie, not something you see all the time. Weird and unique.

I have no idea what the point of this movie was. Lots of visual effects though

My husband and I have watched this movie and we both thought it was very weird

Although there was some good action in the movie, it just didn't do a lot for me.

These handful of chicks enter a 7 mile radius alien parasitic area that's increasing progressively. They run into a mutated alligator, then a mutated bear... Enter the lighthouse where the alien is at. The main woman protagonist takes it out... Decent movie, but starts off a little slow until the suspense kicks in.

I expected a little more from this movie, especially with this cast of actors.

Biologist and former soldier Lena (Natalie Portman) is shocked when her missing husband (Oscar Isaac) comes home near death from a top-secret mission into The Shimmer, a mysterious quarantine zone no one has ever returned from. Now, Lena and her elite team must enter a beautiful, deadly world of mutated landscapes and creatures, to discover how to stop the growing phenomenon that threatens all life on Earth. The film also stars Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, and Tuva Novotny.

Annihilation was an unexpected gem. Yes there were a few holes in the plot, but overall I came out of the experience wanting more. Don't let the trailers fool you, it's not about pretty animals and shiny objects, but a much deeper, richer story as told from the perspective of a woman mourning her husband's death.
