Annihilation Ratings & Reviews
- Pascal Bollier2 days agothis movie deserves an attribute that i handout very rarely.....it is both interesting and intriguing. while i will never be a fan of nathalie portman, she is at least not annoying in this one. the rest of the cast, even valkyrie, are pretty good. however, this is not about the performances. its about the story. and the story keeps you guessing, it does not hold your hand and it does not give you a nice, everything is resolved kind of an ending. it's challenging. and there must be room for movies like this.
- Ahmed Siddiqui14 October 2025A great movie that has hidden depths that won't be easily understandable at first blush. Because of this, it's not a movie that will be liked by everyone. If you're the movie watcher who likes to sink their teeth into a piece of media and likes to understand the deep metaphorical meaning behind things you may have missed while watching the movie for the first time, you'll find a rewarding story about topics like dealing with trauma and how relationships can evolve. If you're not that type of person who wants to do the work to understand a movie, and like your message to be more neatly presented to you, then you'll find this movie to be, on the surface, a slight letdown.
- Robot Monster28 December 2025I love a sci-fi/horror film that leaves me thinking. Annihilation does this along with some excellent visual and audio effects without it being a soup of CGI. The ending forces you to think it out as well and makes it a solid choice for a second watch. The cast is strong and there is very convincing tension befitting the crisis being portrayed. And unlike so many crap films that pander to audiences simply because the leads are female, here is a genuinely interesting and creative sci-fi film that happens to have a very strong female cast.
- lvl1adult7 December 2025Stilted. Never really found its why.
- ananya18 October 2025the soundtrack was scarier than the actual plot
- Ian Filo21 November 2025A creepy and thought provoking science fiction thriller. Has a stacked cast too.
- Zeus_theBanker27 October 2025Not great, not bad. Visually reminded me of the video game Expedition 33. If you HAVE to watch all the Natalie Portman films because you’re a huge fan go ahead, otherwise this was a waste of time tbh. Story is meh at best.
- tellum17 August 2025Wild supernatural body horror movie that somehow stars Natalie Portman.
- Brian Borgatti18 October 2025Color out of space, but taken to the next level. Definitely worth the watch. Great practical effects and keeps you guessing right till the end.
- Austin Goh5 October 2025Had some cool moments
- brossa030 August 2025Keeps you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out what is going on, and then never tells you what's going on. It started off interesting then ended with a grand 'ol meh.
- mickerdoo28 August 2025Slow burner. But very unique. I guess it is a little like Evolution but the total tonal opposite. Little too slow and strange for me.
- SadrioLaVonta28 April 2025Mind blowing. Would definitely recommend giving a watch.
- Stairwaytothestars12 August 2025Despite great visuals and acting, the movie is a bit of a misfire, perhaps do to it's slow pacing and disjointedness.
- pipanni9 August 2025Awful movie. Starts out ok but slowly descends into a chaotic mess. And by the way that scene with the zombie monster (a bear, I think) is stolen from an old Dungeons and Dragons "choose your adventure" book. That alone pisses me off. Anyway this flick is definitely not for me.
