‘Annihilation’ with Natalie Portman, on DVD May 29.

The Sci-Fi Thriller based on Jeff VanerMeer’s best selling trilogy

The International Movie Data base (IMDb) is the industry standard for critical and customer satisfaction.

Annihilation. Sci-Fi Thriller. DVD. Blue-Ray. IMDB pro-rating 7 with an 87% score from Rotten Tomatoes. Based on Jeff VanderMeer’s best-selling Southern Reach Trilogy, screenplay written and directed by Alex Garland. A science-fiction fantasy spiked with baroque horror, “Annihilation” tells an enigmatic tale of love and death and alien invasion. Set in a future that looks pretty much like today, it centers on a biologist, Lena (Natalie Portman), who shortly after the movie opens reunites with her husband, Kane (Oscar Isaac), who she thought was dead. As he sits in their kitchen, the camera slinking about, Lena’s surprise gives way to happiness and then to mounting wariness that, like some kind of contagion, soon slithers under your skin. To understand what has happened and why, Lena sets off on a heroic journey, one that — like most such adventures — inevitably leads inward with each searching step.  Annihilation stars Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, Tuva Novotny and Oscar Isaac.
