Young son talked me into seeing the movie "Annihilation" this past Saturday. I must admit I was cool to the idea of seeing it as I had seen the trailer for it previously and it seemed like the usual monster chase/women in distress/science mumbo-jumbo type of movie.
I was wrong.
The movie is a very thoughtful yet suspenseful movie that will require you to pay attention, connect the dots, and understand why things are happening in the movie.

It has gotten great reviews and has resonated with people who see different meanings in the purpose of the movie. One blogger feels that it is an analogy for the experience of cancer in people. Another sees it as a metaphor for emotional depression.
Don't let the trailer fool you - this isn't a monster horror movie (although there are some scary parts)
I must admit that the main character greatly shocked and disappointed me in a personal choice she made in her life, but that choice was integral to her motivation. Pay attention - the clues will be there as the movie unrolls. I missed them until the choice was revealed.
A great movie and one that I will keep in my emotional collection of great flicks. Go see it.
4 out of 4 stars.
