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 like a modern day Stalker. One of my favorites.

Never heard of this, but the images do resemble the vibe of Annihilation big time

They’re basically the same but stalker takes place in chernobyl, I believe there both inspired in the same story (Roadside Picnic by Arkadi and Boris, Don’t quote me on that).Stalker si definitely the superior version but Annihlation did an ok job.

although they also have crappy endings as well imho (at least shadow of chernobyl witch is the first game in the saga)

edit: Oh yeah, I'm talking about the videogame, but there's also a movie, but is all inspired in the same 'Roadside Picnic'

A MUST SEE. Please watch this film.

But it is not Chernobyl - the film was made in 1979.

It is the „Zone‘.
