Quote:
Annihilation is an upcoming science fantasy action horror film written for the screen and directed by Alex Garland based on the book of the same name by Jeff VanderMeer.

The film is scheduled to be released in the United States by Paramount Pictures on February 23, 2018, and released in other international markets by Netflix.


Quote:
A group of soldiers enters an environmental disaster zone and only one comes back out alive, though he is grievously injured. In an attempt to save his life, his wife Lena, a biologist, volunteers for a second expedition into the zone to figure out what happened to him.

She doesn't seem to age well. She is just 35.. I mean wtf..I've seen 40+ women looking much better.

Maybe it's makeup or something.. to make her look older.. Laughing

@4treyu


In some scenes she looks fine, but for instance, here



she looks pretty bad for a 35 old woman.

She needs to start eating more, working out and stop snorting cocaine. Laughing

Yeah, she looks quite emaciated (& undernourished) which I believe is behind her physical appearance.

Goodreads rates it as 3.6, I was hoping for more.

Yeah, like I said, it's not for everyone. I can absolutely see how many wouldn't like it. And the sequels are not at all as good as the first book so.

Judging by the trailers I think the movie is going to end up being better than the book but we'll see.


The first book was ok, even good but second was abysmal shit I couldn't start the third one.
It's like reading this interesting psychological horror and suddenly next part takes place in Pratchett's Discworld.

I read the books a few weeks back because this film looks so good. They were terrible but in fairness the film looks realy loosely based on the first book and still good.

Non-US/Canada/China rights sold to Netflix, so expect it to be yet another straight to video garbage Netflix film.

*safely sets the expectation-o-meter to very-low settings* Razz
They have good ideas and interesting concepts, but those indeed often go down the drain because of the poor writing and/or shoddy directing and acting, it's a shame. Netflix really need to improve when it comes to movies' quality, so far they feel like some sort of Walmart Sad Laughing

Quote:
So far, the reactions are universally positive and are heaping praise upon Garland’s directorial approach, as well as the performances from the mostly female main cast, and the aforementioned “mind-blowing” ending.

Identity politics are making it difficult these days to listen to reviewers.

That it's going to vod on release day... tells me they think it'll bomb. So make money quick by getting a streaming deal.

Movie could still be good. But studio behind it doesn't have financial faith in it. Which is a shame.
