The logline is impressive enough, but a big draw is the fact that Annihilation is written and directed by Alex Garland, who was behind the phenomenal Ex Machina, as well as some other sci-fi gems.
It’s actually an anomaly where the laws of nature don’t apply, resulting in some seriously trippy creatures and events.
Based on the book of the same name by Jeff VanderMeer, Annihilation follows a biologist (Natalie Portman) who volunteers to venture into an “environmental disaster,” to put it lightly.
