This movie has some of the best designed experimental scenes I've ever seen in a sci-fi. Props to the soundtrack too.
Cosmic horror done correctly.
Yeah too bad most anons got filtered by the black guy so they disregarded the whole movie. It has some flaws but there's a lot to like about it
>>216513908Is it worth to re-watch?Seen it when it came out but not sure if its worth to go at it again
>>216514460Chuds throwing a fit over 30 seconds of "Jews love British Broadcasting Corporation" is really something, huh?
>>216514562shalom
>>216513908>experimental sceneslol what
>>216514583I'm not a chud, so no need to shalom me.
>>216513908You know that image of the anon with the bell they ring when they're triggered? I had that experience with this movie and a friend. He just bitched the whole time about how much he hated women.
>>216513908Boring.
>>216514626Yeah, it's major effete energy. You'd expect that bell image in particular would be used to mock the crybabies, not that they proudly post it themselves.
>>216513908What interesting idea did it even have?>uhmm like the the cool alien design and stuff was like really original
The scariest part about the shimmer is there's no malice at all in the alien threat. It seems like a being from a higher dimension that is attempting to communicate with beings from our dimension without any understanding of what things are beings, what if anything is analogous to it, and what is even comparable to communication for them.So fucking terrifying and so compelling.
>>216514899this. this movie just leaves you with a pit in your stomach. definitely a movie that was still on my mind long after I watched it.
>>216514791Ambient genetic recombination is a cool body horror concept, and like >>216514899 says, a neutral but incomprehensible alien mind is much spookier than a violent invader.Unfortunately the movie loses points for having the women explain everything on a 3rd-grade level. They're supposed to be expert scientists, they should be talking in jargon to put the viewer in the same "what the fuck is this?" mindset
Complete piece of shit movie
>>216513908>Stars the most annoying cunts in nuHollywood
I like the part where the ugly Jew says the title of the movie and then dies

>>216515462I didnt understand what was happening in their interiors.
It was a lighthouse. Why didn't they take a boat? Why didn't they pararachute jump, or just take a chopper?
>>216514460I've seen this movie twice and I don't remember any black people
>>216515719All the elite special forces were on their period
>>216514626>>216514671What the fuck are you dickless faggots doing defending that movie?
what do you understand by "experimental" in this context anon
>>216515815>muh dickYour performative macho act is gay as shit, nigga. It's an audiovisually outstanding movie. A chilling walk through Entropy Valley. Why the fuck are you so dense?

>>216514619Shalom
>>216515881The Lighthouse scene.
>>216513908I feel the visual approach at times was a little to grab-bag like in that there was a focus on cool yet barely related visual set pieces rather than a more consistent but equally strange and disturbing visual approach. Like the initial dead body skeleton that was growing like a fungus was good, and the bear of course was great, but random crystal trees, flower branch deer and people turning into hedge sculptures didn't really make sense to me given the premise. I actually would have expected more of the general environment to be closer to the fungus skeleton; more moldy, soupy in structure, and just completely twisted beyond recognition. The fact that normal grass and plants were just still around, even when they were close to the crash, seemed out of place and lacked that sense of build up towards the climax of the film.
Natalie Portman is made for MBC, mutated bear cock.
>>216513908Amazing movie.If there's any proof that garland is the right pick to do an elden ring adaptation - it's annihilation. Because it relies on storytelling via its use of repetition in themes and visual, rather than outright exposition - which is exactly how the souls/elden ring games do it.
>>216516046but what about it is experimental in your opinionit's been a while since i watched it but i really don't remember it doing much for me, except for the music (too bad it's been meme'd to death)
>>216513908>>216514460it's just Stalker for brainlets and marvel fans>>216516184lol
>>216513908I don't remember anything about this flick except that I found the women insufferable.
>>216516018>>216516018>>AI slop>>"you're a redditor bugman!">Lowest of the low. Never gonna make it.
I hate how it's one of those movies that have so many good ideas, props and scenes, but the "movie" parts (plot, characters, drama) is just bland as fuck.If you're about to tell me that this is intentional, your name better show up in the credits of the movie.
>>216516290>t. midwit I seriously fucking hate you "vibe intellectuals". You could never speak of any substance because your brain can't into it. All you can do is hold up things you think of as perceived as intelligent and name-drop them vs something that icks you on the same vibes base. Complete brainrot.
>>216514626Your friend sounds based
>>216516416I'd never fucking write anything or waste my time talking about this garbage movie. if you think it's something unique, well that's your problem. it seems like this is something ''deep'' for you since you mostly watch superhero movies and think alex garland is a good filmmaker/writer
>>216516540meant for>>216516447
>>216516568>since you mostly watch superhero moviesAppeal to meme again. Your notion of good filmmaker/writer also repeats this error. You're incapable of substantiating shit. All is memes and being perceived through memes. Fuck you.

Alex Garland makes fag movies.
>>216518235They literally explain in the movie that they have sent everything else they could already, and that sending a team of full women is a last resort because they have tried everything else and have become desperate.
The hoyllwood jew princess does interracial propaganda: The movie
>>216514899The alien is CHANGE you dense motherfuckers. The cuck kills his older self and accepts his place, the whore no longer needs to pretend she is virtuous, the scientist is afraid of the change of death and so on.Movie would have been excellent if they hadn't put BBC cuck fantasy front and center
>>216513908its mid and the script is retarded
>>216513908> that cast Netflix is buying wb? Yikes.
Feminist shitty propaganda.
>>216513908The part were they find the recording of Oscar Isaac eviscerating his buddy was pretty spooky
>>216513908Alex Garland's filmography is the equivalent of Charlie Brown trying to kick a football.
>>216513908It's pretty good desu, would be scary as fuck if ayyys like that actually fall here
>>216513908It was quite good. Too bad about the retarded characters and horrible cast.>got filtered by the black guyThe shoehorned interracial cuck scene was weird, but it wasn't the movie's biggest flaw.
>>216516290Serious question: I have seen Annihilation and I enjoyed it because of the Lovecraftian horror element. Do you think I would enjoy Stalker? I know it has a similar premise but I know almost nothing else about it.
>>216514619Thanks for clarifying, Shekelberg
>>216513908Stalker is betterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3hBLv-HLEc
>>216518424Lol hilarious that no one else seems to get this. Allegory is dead.
>>216513908I went and saw Annihilation and BR2049 within a month of each other at the theater when they came out and Annihilation mogged 2049. I specifically remember being impressed with one and disappointed with the other.
>>216515750
>>216518235>>216518349I got the sense they didn't care who goes in at that point, like "oh that's your team. Fine whatever. Good luck I guess." They didn't really expect it to make a difference.

I recently read the fourth book in this series called Absolution. Lowry being the main character for the second half was extremely based. I'm surprised Vandermeer had that in him.Hated this movie though. Completely missed the point of the book. What compels a director to spoil the mystery and the fate of the main character in the first two opening scenes? And why did Garland add a bbc cuck plot that wasn't in the book?
>>216521708Also, I think the second book would be the best movie. The failed prodigal son of the Central dynasty being dropped into the Southern Reach with no idea whats going on, slowly uncovering the layers and realizing just how fucked up things are and then bugging out
>>216515719>Why didn't they take a boat?Why would a movie with a female primary cast be a boat movie?
>>216515719The border only had one opening that they knew of. If you tried to enter from any other area you were never seen again
>>216521905Why didn't they just abolish the borders and let the Mexicans in?
>>216521943i marvel at the average american mind, the epitome of whit
>>216520742just because youre okay with racemixing, doesnt mean we have to. we racists are actually doing more for preserving all races than liberalcucks ever will, you all want to be teh same boring mocha latte race. fucking goo-back
>>216522324Please cool it with the anti-semitism
>OH my Science!!
>>216515719Since the whole thing's a Roadside Picnic/Stalker ripoff, I assume there's anomalies>>216521825I could watch Silent Hero Journey Boy right now
>>216520426Stalker is one of the greatest movies of all time but it's not Lovecraftian horror, it's guys going on a hike while exchanging Dostoyevsky monologues
I think its kind of meh but the finale with the weird alien choreography and music was really cool. The idea of everything genetically mixing is a great setting and its executed well in a few places (the bear that mimics humans screaming for help, the moving intestines and subsequent incredible fungal explosion prop) and executed very lame in others (plants shaped like people, the crappy cgi plant deer). portman is delivering a very typical and uninteresting performance, jjl is interesting in just how her idea of 'dying of cancer' just means being really sleepy and mumbling the whole time, isaac is good. I do with garland stuck with his cool scifi stuff instead of becoming a war guy but im sure he'll do some more in the future
>>216522722Intredasting. I may give it a watch.
>>216513908Biggest tourist filter ever.>it has a nigger and a lot of women in it so it's bad! d-do I fit in yet?
>>216524082Why do leftists always assume that right-wingers arrive at their beliefs through consensus polling? We actually just don't like contrived interracial cuckoldry in our entertainment.
>>216515300There's other elements of dumbing it down for the adaptation, too- in the book, nobody's names are given and they are referred to by role, with the POV character being The Biologist. She's also heavily detached from humanity and focused on nature, so her having an infidelity subplot and emotional breakdown at the initial loss of her husband was pretty funny to see. It's still a pretty good if heavily altered adaptation, there's just a bunch of dumb Hollywoodisms in there.(The book triology is really fucking good.)
>>216514460I didn't even know there was a nigger, I got filtered by the girl bosses in the poster alone.
>>216518349In the books, the organization attempting to understand the phenomena is outdated and collectively at their wit's end attempting to understand the impossible- its director was particular troubled and kept coming up with new team parameters to try to make a breakthrough.
>>216524468projectionyou should know this by now
>>216515719Did you watch the movie? There's one entrance, no other entrances are safe.
>>216515931I like this movie but you're a faggot for using ebonics, stop talking like a nigger and grow up
>>216521708Wait what how the fuck did I miss thisThanks for mentioning it lol
>>216515564neither did they
>>216524568Yeah people like Joe Rogan and his friends are truly the most enlightened people, while scrawny and chubby scientists are completely ignorant. Sounds about right.
>>216524468>muh leftists, right-wingers, and interracial cuckoldryFound the tourist.
>>216524082well no that's icing on the shit sandwich. the actual turd between the bread is the fact that the acting is bland, the story is not well executed, and the ideas for most of the last third of the movie before the lighthouse are just boring. if you're going to make a feminist cuck fantasy film at least make it good all the way through. "the people are...turning into hedges! there's trees made of crystal growing out of sand!" it's like they ran out of ideas after the bear. you're finish on a beach, there should be some kind of horrifying lowtide biological sludge all over the place. show that the end result of what's going on isn't just a big alligator or a bear that sounds like a human or even snaking intestines but absolute incomprehensible body horror. it's the least you can do because you're not going to fix that acting considering the actresses you have to work with
>that scene when the girl is calling for help but it was the fucking tiger thing that ate her insteadthat was legit 10/10 scary
>>216516197Imagine if it pinned her down and a 12' cock made of several other animal dicks all wrapped around eachother slowly descended, its monsterously huge mutated bear balls hanging slack in the warm, humid, knight air.
>>216516447Just like Star Trek
>>216524678Shaming tactics don't work on anonymous image boards.
>>216513908It didn't make any sense to me until I found this analysis, it's very satanic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDBcx96HPGg
>>216514460It's ok when there's a jewish girl and a brown guy, jews love promoting racemixing.
>>216516231No he's just a subversive anti-christian anti-white asshole.
>>216524863>feminist cuck fantasy filmGod, muttmericans are hopeless.
>>216520742Yes it is well known jewish girls love black cock.
It was good but not amazing. The scene where they're all tied up and the blonde's tits are sticking out gets me hard though.
>>216513908this movie reminded me of Annihilation but seemed to go completely unnoticed when it came out.
>>216514791its a metaphor for procreation and competing sperm cus of the bookend shit with her black affair partner
>>216526996I dont remember her getting raped at the end
>>216513908It was a dogshit movie for retards. Another "sci fi" mvoies for peopel who don't like sci fi.Also a movie for womenI've reat the books and they were bad, boring and nonsensical, literally random stuff happening and random people wandering. I would defend the author saying that he (she?) was, or felt, inexperienced, but another book I tried from the same guy/gal was not really different.YET it was still better than the shitty movie
>>216515931>muh audiovisual experiencekek
>>216516447people who like Annihilation are vibe intellectuals. It vibes like an artistic movie so they stop there. No matter how awful it is in any other department
>>216518424>and in the end they understand that nothing makes sense and it doesn't matter. Fin.
>>216520486they are both awful
>>216520742Having your same fetish is not virtuous, interesting or rightgo watch porn
>>216524900I found it pretty generic. The reaction of the girls unrealistic (probably because they were reating to cgi) and the cgi creature just am uninspired cgi blobThere is B where a bunch of tourist get stuck on a temple in south america with a carnivorous plant, don't remember the name. There is a scene not really different from that one, but it's much much better
>>216528483so do you believe technical and artistic craft decide if a movie is good, and it doesn't matter how it makes you feel?
Feminist gay slop by a fagbear roaring with the girls kill scream was literally the only good bit CGI at the end ruined the whole film
>>216524659>joe roganyou thinking this is a gatcha is exactly why your a faggot.
>>216518424>movie about ayy lmao, based on a book about ayy lmao, based on Lovecraft's Colour Out of Space, about ayy lmao>"actually it's about cuckoldry"
>>216513908Is this Kiera Knightly?
>>216526996wtf is this real
>>216513908What is /tv/'s favorite creature in the film?
Awesome premise and cool monsters but I was filtered by the cheating with giant black guy scene. Especially being that its Natalie whomst ive grown up with and had a crush on since my youth. My opinion of a woman massively changes once shes cheated with a negro. If they left that part out id watch this movie anytime its on. Its like if Skull Island randomly had brie cheating on Loki with a large black man. The fuck? Who wants to see that. Oh dude its part of the plot and whatever. ... Rewrite the plot so its something else please!
It was extremely realistic in that all of the women immediately started fighting with each other and wanted to quit.
>>216530452is that the guy who had the slithering innards?
Annihilation of white masculinity just by seeing a black guy with a white woman on the screen, it's no surprise that white race is dying out
>>216530776Hershlag is not white and neither is anyone ITT complaining about that scene including you saar.
>>216530691Yep. Not the best way to go.
the book was better
>>216518218what else would you call it
>>216528627No I believe in the emotions and intellectual stimulation of what technical and artistic craft are able to convey.Vibes and emotions alone are nothing, and so sobjective that they could as well call them projection in this case.Projecting your good feelings on a movie doen't make it good or well made.
>>216531835Annihilation is a good movie though.
>>216530452
Now I'm curious about the book. I liked the movie well enough but it didn't quite satiate me for some reason
>>216532467>>216513908She got assimilated and died. She's not her at the end she's an alien. The reason she cured the anomaly was because the alien wasn't self aware and didn't know what it was an everybody before here didn't know what it was. But by the end of the movie she knew what it was so when it absorbed her it knew what it was and finally became sentient and stopped doing retarded shit like turning deer into trees. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFtWjwO46Vs
>>216532597as i heard it's pretty different.
>>216531968No it isn't, deal with it
>>216532709>$40 million budget sci fi movie still being talked about 7 YEARS later on almost a weekly basis>not goodPick one you pleb faggot. Go back to your culturally irrelevant Avaslop that nobody cares about or talks about.
>>216532709>>216532794you really didn't need to bring the numbers into it desu. Just ask why he thinks its not a good movie and watch him combine some retarded buzzwords together. I've read roadside picnic and watched stalker, annihilation is a good movie
ESL: The thread
>>216532885>Elle Driver>>216532794lmao retards.Bad movies are talked for ages all the times
>yeah this movie is alright despite the retarded women looking clueless while walking around cosplaying soldiers>*PORTMAN RIDING A NIGGER OUT OF NOWHERE*>oh...
>>216532597its interesting, it's sort of a stream of consciousness/experience from the main character. Much more mysterious and surreal than the movie
>>216532597>>216534057second book is from the perspective of a guy who is the son of a famous mother and grandpa in the "Central" agency. He is put in charge of the facility and is tasked with figuring out what is really happening and it takes place just after the first book. The third book takes place right before Area X "border" event happens and it's from the perspective of the Lighthouse keeper and involves one of the members from the expedition of the first movie but when she is a child. Fourth book takes place around the same time as the "border" comes down but you get more context as to what the Central Agency knew about the area and the second half of the book shows you the very first expedition.
It's like it's stuck between an ambiguous thoughtful Stalker/Solaris type thing and an analytical, concrete Michael Crichton science experiment and in the end it's just the worst of both worlds because the the explanations for everything aren't expanded upon enough to be interesting but it is explained just enough to rob the threatening world of its allure and mystery.
>>216532467it was so fucking goodwish there were more like it
>>216534356there is no explanation it just is the cancer lady said that
>>216521905how does that make any sense.nobody that entered was ever seen again period
>>216532597>>216532664Alex Garland said he wanted to make his movie about the feel of the book from memory rather than from the book itself.
>>216518235Feels pretty good to have never been cucked by a movie. I see it coming a mile away every time. "Nice try movie!" I say. "Not gonna cuck me today hahaha." Yeah, I'm pretty BASED like that.
>>216534491well I'm talking about the books, I don't remember much from the movie
>>216534531Retard says retard thing
>>216516536You can have him. Turned out to be a homosexual rapist. I swear you can't trust anyone you used to know in high school these days.
>>216536699You sound like a lying faggot
>>216536699>Turned out to be a homosexual rapist.>bitched the whole time about how much he hated womenleast surprising plot twist
Only the ending the rest of the movie is really bad. The bear scene is really dumb.
Dead space is better psychological body horror.
>>216520426Annihilation is very Stalker but there's also a bit of Stellaris in there.
>>216536896I wish I could introduce my co worker to the entire internet. He’s a giga chad who gets laid seemingly on a daily basis and loudly talks about how much he hates women. He tells this to women too, who don’t care and still want to fuck him. Every time someone online says “only virgins hate women” I think about that guy. I also think about the many “m’lady” virgins I’ve known all my life who worship any woman who even looks their direction. And I realize most people are retarded
