	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Scary and beautiful (...) This is one classy serving of cinematic red meat — perfectly cooked on the outside, but saignant inside."	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"'Annihilation' achieves that rare feat of great genre cinema, where we are not merely thrilled (...) but also feel as if our minds have been expanded along the way"	POS
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"[It] combines gut-wrenching body horror and trippy science to compelling effect (...) Portman is a strident, fiercely compelling presence (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"At once a gripping jungle survival thriller and an alluring sci-fi puzzle, Garland’s heady gambit confirms he’s one of the genre’s best working filmmakers"	POS
United States	Brian Truitt USA Today	"A beautiful and brutal headtrip (...) The cast is solid (...) It's a completely bizarre tale that will leave heads spinning (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Jim Vejvoda IGN	"Overall it’s a bold undertaking that doesn’t play it safe and features some strong performances (...) Good sci-fi is about pondering Big Ideas and what it means to be human, and 'Annihilation' is certainly in line with that"	POS
United States	Scott Mendelson Forbes	"It’s refreshing in any number of ways, from its nearly all-female cast to its show-don’t-tell storytelling to its genuinely jaw-dropping imagery"	POS
United States	Matt Singer Screen Crush	"One of the best sci-fi movies in years (...) It is beautiful at times, provocative at others, and downright nauseating in between (...) This movie made me physically uncomfortable in my own skin."	POS
United States	Robert Abele The Wrap	"Exquisitely disturbing (...) 'Annihilation' is here to shake up your night at the movies in the most mind-bendy way possible, but without foregoing the pleasures of an ambitious sci-fi entertainment."	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"'Annihilation' is an absorbing amalgam of genres and influences, all coming together to produce a dazzling creation"	POS
