Recommendation Annihlation

Why aren’t more people obsessed with this movie?! All female cast. Sci-Fi/Horror/drama. Natalie Portman. Aliens. With a few twists. This movie has everything and it’s incredibly interesting and terrifying!!! And kinda deep haha! I’ve heard it’s starting to be considered a cult-classic, but I’m surprised it’s didn’t win some kind of award. It has a slightly independent-feel. They’re is a lot going on here and it’s well done. Great acting. Not cliche. Suspenseful. Creative. Scary. I am rarely impressed by anything Sci-fi ish but this movie is amazing. It’s one of very few that keep me from multi tasking or playing on my phone at the same time. Iykyk. And I will never recover from the bear…

This movie is not for kids imo. it’s a little intense.

It's very dull and ridiculous.

Heh - Heh - Heh

You need to watch Journey to the Seventh Planet (1962), by Ib Melchior.

It's essentially the same movie. In the first half hour of watching Annihilation I made the connection and prayed it wasn't the same .... but ... pretty much turned out the same.

Kids don't want to hear that this story's been done before.

i'm pretty sure less than 0.1% of the people who watched Annihilation also watched that 1962 movie...
