But here's the thing, and the reason why I don't understand why this movie was shoved to the side. You know how science fiction movies usually delve with the unknown on how it destroys our bodies but very rarely touches on the effect it has on our minds? "Annihilation" does this, without losing touch with the body horror. It's a wonderful movie that I could describe as best as an spiritual successor to " John Carpenter's The Thing", where the isolation of the characters comes from how horrific and how beautiful the environment is, confronted with an enemy that keeps shifting and changing, where not everything is explained as it's not the point of the movie. At the time of watching this movie I couldn't make my bedroom much darker and my old TV didn't make justice to the visuals of this film.Īnd yet I absolutely adored it. And this is the type of movie that could benefit from being seen in a big screen, with a great surround sound system, and in complete darkness. It's a very efficient way to present this to a wider audience, but I would've liked the option to see this movie in a big screen, in a theatre, completely shut off of everything and just immersing myself into the world of the movie. It's a movie that had a theatrical run in the US and China, but when it came to other territories the distributors weren't putting it in the theatre, so Netflix picked it up. Ok, let's get one thing out of the way before some smartass does, " Annihilation " is not a movie produced by Netflix. And speaking of deer with fruits on their antlers. #Movieslate deviantart updateWhy wouldn't I draw the Seedling in an update for a movie that has deer with fruits growing on their antlers? It writes itself, it's so perfect. We could've used more alien, xeno eyes, kinda like how the Changelings are, so I gave it some resin-looking eyes that reflect his plant nature. The design may be great, but the way they did the eyes for it is really disappointing. I did draw the Seedling before, last year when MLP was on its victory lap for Season 9, and I'll say now what I said then. This was the other one of the updates that I indulged myself on, as we didn't have any asks for it but I really wanted to give the spotlight to a movie that got shoved to the side by pretty much everyone involved in the distribution for it.ĭrawing this piece was actually a lot of good fun, especially that Seedling.
