Annihilation - An Impossible Movie

Annihilation - An Impossible Movie
I've been looking forward to this film for quite some time. The book is one of the best I've read in a long while, and when reading it I had two thoughts. One was "this would be a phenomenal movie", followed by "I have no idea how they would make this into a movie". Sure enough, it's now been done and I think Alex Garland was a pretty good choice considering he has only Ex Machina under his belt as director. He had a fresh vision to bring to sci-fi at that time and continues to do so here. I was really excited that they got top talent to portray some of the main characters in this movie, as the book does not give the characters any meaningful "given" names. They all had titles, or nicknames, and that was it.I think I'm biased because of my love of the book, but I don't think this really could have turned out much better. So much of the story's context is in the visuals and dialogue, or just the overall emotion of the film. If you watch some of the special features, you'll pick up on this a bit. Of course, I'd highly recommend reading the book series as well for even more depth. The grotesqueness of Area X and it's gruesome nature is really captured well enough to please fans and newcomers alike.The 4K is not the BEST I've watched so far (in my short time as a 4K watcher), but the movie is meant to be seen this way. Considering the source material and the visuals that even that medium presents, it's not surprising that the beauty is in the fine print of the film. Tonally, it jumps around a bit but that's sort of the magic of The Shimmer and the mystery behind the story. I would describe the genre feel of the film to be a psychological monster movie, as the world and its inhabitants really push the movie forward.I particularly loved the score and felt that it fit the movie very well. The audio plays as big of a part as the visuals, and one scene in particular with one of the monsters really shows that. This is one of those movies that will also appreciate with multiple viewings, and there is a lot of subtext and just depth to the movie that doesn't quite appear on initial viewings. This easily could have been butchered and thrown into a bargain bin from the get-go, but a really talented group of entertainers fortunately got a hold of this one for us all.I was slightly disappointed that there were no commentary tracks on the 4K or Blu-ray discs, but the Blu-ray disc contains the special features, in which there are a few gems. It's really great hearing Natalie Portman adore this script/story like the fans did, and even some of the secondary actors really were able to capture what this story was about. Seeing one of the monster encounter scenes put together in one of the features was really interesting to see. I would definitely buy another edition of the film to have a director's commentary with Alex Garland, or even an author commentary with Jeff VanderMeer would be something really special.Overall, I think this film is a pretty safe bet for insta-buy if you're a fan of sci-fi or creature features. It stars top of the line talent, and features an up and coming director in Garland. His crew seems to be very tight per the special features, and perhaps if this movie garners enough attention on stores shelves we can get a sequel. Or perhaps, we could do the whole Southern Reach trilogy! They really understood the visuals that the novel presents, and made the movie in a way that it can stand on its own but also pays it off for the fans.
