Predictable, low-budget, one of those ScFi films that never explains the aliens really...they or "it" simply exists.

Quite a spectacle! I enjoyed it. Beautiful and grotesque little cosmic horror

Decent FX, tho a bit obviously fake-lookng. Script was terrible, but interesting sci-fi ideas.

With all the big military-style guns going off all the time, they should have cast Sylvester Stallone in drag in this; now that would have been worth the price of admission. Nice twist at the end though...

Engaging title which leads to a movie full of DNA aberrations that lead to various new forms of life, plants and animals, coupled with disasters and thrilling events.

Read the book to enhance your appreciation of this movie (they diverge and aren't identical). Enjoyed the idea of humans being caught up and having to face the ideas of self and self destructive tendencies as well as drives for…

Did not live up to the box's hype - not mind blowing at all. Could have been, but fell short. No interesting dialog. Even failed at depicting an otherworldliness.

Interesting concept, but poor execution. I felt like it could have been something great if it had been handled differently.

This movie moves at a slow, glacial pace with too many twists and turns not going anywhere, really... Did not enjoy it and felt is was a waste of my time... The so-called, Bear Monster, in the end looked fake, like a man in a Bear suit. …

I loved this movie. The film adaptation bears little narrative resemblance to the Jeff Vandermeer novel but like its source is a verdant, rainbow colored nightmare, and scarier than most movies I've seen recently. I first saw it in…

Spooky and cerebral.

The book was pretty good and the director made "Ex Machina" so I eagerly anticipated this movie. It was merely okay. It veered into Jurassic Park territory when the team entered The Shimmer and the copycat clone scene was unintentionally…

I read the Southern Reach Trilogy and this book did not do the story any justice. Granted, I'm sure it would be nearly impossible to translate 3 books into a 1.5 hour movie and it's as if they didn't even try! There are so many…

I enjoyed this film a lot. I think if you enjoyed this director's other films you should like this one? If you like science fiction/human psychology type films this should be in your wheelhouse. Enjoy friends

Nice concept to begin with, fails miserably as it progresses. I nodded off twice and couldn't be bothered to rewind to see what I missed (I didn't feel as if I missed anything). Generally acting was poor all around, I couldn't care about…

Movie was like Predator meets The Thing. Instead of Arnie Schwarzenegger or Kurt Russell it's Portman in the role of lead protagonist! Unique sci-fi scenario in this one for sure. I love the way Lena (Portman) takes charge when the mutated…

I recently re-read the book and decided to give the movie a shot. Both were pretty good (the book was better, as usual), but had little-to-nothing to do with each other. The location that about 85% of the book takes place in/around isn't…

Solid movie, loved the cast and characters. The world they enter is fantastic and terrifying at the same time. Definitely more creepy and haunting than I had expected!

With Natalie Portman and Oscar Isaac, this otherworldly film cannot avoid the comparison to recent Star Wars movies. This masterpiece differs, though, through the occasional jump scare, beautiful and awe-inspiring scenery, and scientific…

I had to look up the creative team behind this movie after I watched it because it was just visually incredible. I haven't seen a lot of movies that can cover the spectrum of breathtakingly gorgeous to horrifically grotesque. I'm curious…

We love the Annihilation mutant bear. We love when it screams like a human, don't we folks?

Meh. Just watch the start, keep fast forwarding until closer to the end.

An interesting movie, the images and settings great. It'd been wondeful if the ending was different, as the whole "enemy hidden within, to continue on" thing is old hat, surely something more interesting could have been done? I do like…

Hmmm... Definitely some poor language but not excessive. Weird, and jumps around a bit.
