🎬️ Movie: Annihilation from 2018 🎬️

Back with a movie, or a couple in the next few days. This is a slightly older film from 2018, maybe you've seen it Annihilation directed by Alex Garland and starring Natalie Portman.😃

I like movies based on books and this is, its a visually stunning sci fi thriller based on Jepp VanderMeer's novel. The film is about a group on an expedition in a mysterious place "The Shimmer" where the laws of nature no longer apply. We follow the biologist Lena played by Natalie Portman who joins the group which also includes Dr. Ventress played by Jennifer Jason Leigh. Here they discover a world filled with mutated landscapes and creatures, a bit of action here and there. But what I liked the best was the tension they build up in the film and explore themes such as self-destruction, the unknown and change. I like Natalie Portman a lot and thought she delivered well. It could have been better, but kept me engaded, so its a solid 7.

Here is a trailer.🎬️
