Review of Annihilation (2018) by Benjamin R — 11 Mar 2018
Just totally misses on so many levels. some poor casting, pacing, color match & continuity, etc. and some of the absolute worst dialogue ever written, like it was written by a cadre of idiot studio execs sitting in a conference room.
shockingly bad dialogue actually. Natalie is always wonderful but had nearly nothing to work with here. Probably the studio execs sticking them all in combat fatigues with guns too. that was poor judgment and denied each character their own distinctive and relatable presence, so became pasteurized and superficial.
Ending credits animation as good as I have seen, best part of the film.
