Best Films of 2018 (75 movies items)" Director: Alex Garland His 2nd movie My 2nd movie watched from the director This is a movie I needed to see right away, but it strangely eluded me again and again. There was a part of me that was worried it wouldn't be good because of the general lukewarm reception. Well, I was only slightly disappointed by this point. It has some really interesting themes and and character development and world-building and mystery. It's beautifully crafted and the nearly all-female cast is excellent."
Slant's 100 Best Sci-Fi Movies of All Time (100 movies items)"Many modern film adaptations of popular novels are slavish to their source material. Admirably, writer-director Alex Garland doesn’t so much adapt Jeff VanderMeer’s 2014 sci-fi bestseller Annihilation for the screen so much as he riffs on the novel’s trippy happenings, creating something almost entirely his own. Garland has the genre bona fides, and the writer of Sunshine and writer-director of Ex-Machina handles Annihilation’s hallucinatory setting with an appropriate and compelling sen"

Watched in 2019 (96 movies items)"May 20th Visually impressive in terms of settings, lighting and colour but it bored the shit out of me. Atmospherically it lacked a bit of menace that should have come with the unknown alien entity."

Seen in 2019 (102 movies items)"Watched half of this with a one friend as we were waiting a third one to come to a meetup. Might have liked this a bit more than in the first time seeing it. The bear is still creepy as the visuals are beautiful. Now that I knew what to expect out of the ending it worked better too. The score is also a great(started listening to that as I was writing this)."

Favorites Diary (2018) (13 movies items)" There where certain parts of this movie that where almost formulaic: any knowledge of traditional ensemble thriller or horror films lets you see the order in which all the characters die and will telegraph their deaths minutes ahead of time. The characters themselves are more a series of tropes thrown together than actual, developed characters. Fortunately the great things about the movie don't rely on those things I mentioned above. The beginning of the movie spends all its time developing N"
Películas Vistas en 2018 (79 movies items)"Innovar es la clave para ser una buena película, no tiene que ser algo gigantesco solo unos cuantos cambios y se sentirá como algo nuevo. Annihilation logro eso pues es una película de invasión alíen pero su truco es que esta no es como las otras que se vuelven escusas para la acción, esta tiene esa invasión como base para crear tensión a través de plantaciones científicas que pueden ser resueltas prestando atención. Pero esto mismo es el punto flojo de la película pues el desenlace "
Watched in 2019 (126 movies items)"6.1. Mikä tämä Netflix-elokuvien kerronnallinen obsessio on aloittaa elokuva tavallaan sen loppupisteestä ja siten spoilata ainakin osa sen tapahtumista plotarmoureineen? Sekä Annihilationin että Bird Boxin tapauksessa voidaan toki puolustella, ettei ensiotoksilla nyt liikoja spoilata, mutta silti - tässä on nyt jokin idioottimainen kaava. Elokuvassa on oma mystiikkansa, mutta paikoitellen taas tuntuu, että mystiikka on täysin kateissa. Päähahmojen dynamiikat toimivat mallikaasti."
