Annihilation's reviews
Media reviews
Indiewire
At once a gripping jungle survival thriller and an alluring sci-fi puzzle, Garland?s heady gambit confirms he?s one of the genre?s best working filmmakers.
The Hollywood Reporter
To be sure, the climax delivers copious amounts of blood and guts and tension and look-away temptations. But there are enough interesting surprises, in addition to the narrative promise, to provide for the presumed, and now quite desired, sequels.
Variety
For those willing to put in the effort, 'Annihilation' achieves that rare feat of great genre cinema, where we are not merely thrilled (the film is both intensely scary and unexpectedly beautiful in parts) but also feel as if our minds have been expanded along the way.
The Wrap
A psychological mystery laced with environmental disaster and alien-scary juju, Alex Garland?s elegantly unsettling Annihilation is here to shake up your night at the movies in the most mind-bendy way possible, but without foregoing the pleasures of an ambitious sci-fi entertainment.
