ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Based on the novel by Jeff VanderMeer, ANNIHILATION is a stunning adventure directed by Alex Garland (EX MACHINA, 28 DAYS LATER, NEVER LET ME GO) about a team of a biologist, anthropologist, psychologists, surveyor, and a linguist on an expedition through uncharted land where the laws of nature no longer apply. “ANNIHILATION” stars Natalie Portman (BLACK SWAN, V FOR VENDETTA, LEON: THE PROFESSIONAL), Jennifer Jason Leigh (THE HATEFUL EIGHT, SHORT CUTS, SINGLE WHITE FEMALE), an Tessa Thompson (CREED, THOR: RAGNAROK, PASSING) in this all-star cast. USA Today raves, "On one hand, it's a brainy take on horror tropes, and on the other an empowering female-led mystery with an underlying roller coaster of weird leaving nightmares in its wake.”

SYNOPSIS

Lena, a biologist and former soldier, joins a mission to uncover what happened to her husband inside Area X - a sinister and mysterious phenomenon that is expanding across the American coastline. Once inside, the expedition discovers a world of mutated landscape and creatures, as dangerous as it is beautiful, that threatens both their lives and their sanity.

ANGELIKA’S NOTE
SYNOPSIS

"Mr. Garland has a talent for unnerving you with quietly dissonant notes and an occasional grotesque flourish."

New York Times

"Alex Garland's bracing brainteaser has the courage of its own ambiguity. You work out the answers in your own head, in your own time, in your own dreams, where the best sci-fi puzzles leave things. Get ready to be rocked."

Rolling Stone

"On one hand, it's a brainy take on horror tropes, and on the other an empowering female-led mystery with an underlying roller coaster of weird leaving nightmares in its wake."
