Behold the awesome looking trailers for Paramount Pictures Annihilation starring starring Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, Tuva Novotny, and Oscar Isaac.

Based on Jeff VanderMeer’s best-selling Southern Reach Trilogy of which I know absolutely nothing about, this film evokes the same strange feel as 2016´s Arrival by Denis Villeneuve. Well, the trailers do anyway.

This also one of those “What do you mean it’s not a comic book movie or a Star Wars movie wtfs ” that just might show the movie going public that some films don’t need that noise to make an impact. Director Alex Garland made a fantastic film titled Ex Machina a few years back which I can highly recommend.

I am really looking forward to going into this film with little or no clue as to what it’s about. Personally I’m going to avoid all further trailers and TV spots until I get to see the movie proper. And if it turns out as well as the trailers suggest, then I might just have to review it for you all. Stay tuned.
