- [New] | Marco Albanese @ Stanze di Cinema [Italian]
- Excerpt: un film come Annientamento avrebbe meritato l’esperienza immersiva e totalizzante della sala
- David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
- Excerpt: Garland leaves nothing unconsidered here; even the opening, in which the meteor hurtles through our atmosphere, turns out not to be just a cool shot but a visual foreshadow of the climax.
- Francisco Cangiano @ CineXpress [Spanish]
- Matt Donato @ Flickering Myth
- Excerpt: Alex Garland’s Annihilation is a puff from one of the year’s most cataclysmically up-tempo strains of synthetic sci-fi devastation.
- M. Enois Duarte @ High-DefDigest.com
- Excerpt: Lush with a visual beauty and sense of wonder that hypnotizes the audience, Alex Garland’s Annihilation is a thought-provoking sci-fi drama exploring our innate self-destructive behavior in light of humanity’s possible extinction.
- James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
- Mark Leeper @ Mark Leeper
- Excerpt: This is one of those films that will require six or so viewings before it starts to make sense.
- Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight
- Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
- Excerpt: More strange, cryptic, cerebral science fiction that takes multiple encounters to fully unwrap, please!
- Simon Miraudo @ Student Edge
- Jared Mobarak @ BuffaloVibe
- Excerpt: Annihilation won’t be for everyone, but those willing to give it a chance will be treated with sci-fi they can sink their teeth into a la Arrival or Under the Skin. Here’s hoping a three-hour cut exists to experience the intricacies at work even further beyond their attractiveness as plot devices.
- Darren Mooney @ the m0vie blog
- C.H. Newell @ Father Son Holy Gore
- Excerpt: Garland continually proves his worth as an artist capable of envisioning new ways the future can scare us, whether it be his perspectives on the undead, synthetic humans, or the violence of evolution.
- Kristy Puchko @ Riot Material
- Excerpt: Portman is painfully restrained in the lead role, looking upon biological impossibilities and mutilated corpses with the same distant curiosity.
- Márcio Sallem @ Cinema com Crítica [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Emprega o título não como reflexo apocalíptico, mas com uma ênfase existencial
- Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies
- Excerpt: …the flowing, fractal climax is well worth the wait for connoisseurs of acid trip visuals.
