argumate:

I saw Annihilation on Netflix, and could someone please reassure me that Natalie Portman isn’t as stressed and on edge in real life as all the characters I’ve seen her play in movies.

Don’t watch the trailer because it gives away most of the plot.

Don’t watch it if you’re squeamish, although frankly I’m super squeamish and I just look away when stuff happens I don’t want to see.

Oscar Isaac is in it, and he can really be quite intimidating when he’s not playing Poe Dameron.

The plot is basically a complete copy of Greg Egan’s Teranesia, but without the sound scientific basis, although that’s excusable given that it’s a visual medium.

You can also think of it as Predator But With Women, except the predator is abstract mindless forces playing minecraft with DNA.

Predator But With Women was Species (1995), where it was mashed up with the Basic Instinct-Fatal Attraction psycho bitch erotic thriller trend so the killer alien huntress was an irresistably hot but unstable woman trying to seduce a man into impregnating her, played by a former teen model who only really acted (often, naked) in this series and also a younger version by a 14-year-old Michelle Williams

s2g I’m not making any of that up
