I NEEDED this so that I could be more convinced that this movie didn't really happen... Jesus...

[@georgeofhamilton]

What made this movie more believable to you than others?

[@azraelaznm3889]

@@georgeofhamilton because of the science moments that were there...it maked it more realistic than you thing...they worked with biological logic.

[@georgeofhamilton]

@@azraelaznm3889 No, the science in this movie is actually pretty bad. For anyone who understands the science, this movie is unbelievable.

[@PhantomfaceStudios]

I think it’s more about wanting the science to be real. Such an interesting concept presented in such a spectacular way

Wow only 11 comments so far... I have seen Annihilation 7 times as of this posting (MoviePass yeah!) and I find it so relaxing to watch from beginning to end. My all-time favorite film. Every actor was at their best. Not a single second of the film seemed to be filler material. Its faster pace, along with the changes from VanderMeer's novel, were definitely for the better. I find this behind-the-scenes footage only makes the whole project more endearing. I hope Garland's next film tops even this, and I hope Annihilation gains a loyal following over the next decade to elevate its status, as most great sci-fi films take time to appreciate. Thanks for sharing this!

[@dougalmackenziesmith673]

Ha, i hope you don't find the bear scene relaxing. Those screams will forever haunt me. It was however in total a beautiful film. Truly unique.

[@psychokitty444]

Thanks for doing your part.

[@Fidel_L.Bousquet1970]

Relaxing? Strange. This movie had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Really disturbing, even in the "peaceful" moments you can feel something is very wrong and strange things are going to happen.

[@druidriley3163]

I found it very disturbing.

[@bennyton2560]

@@dougalmackenziesmith673 that scene was nightmare fuel. even rewatching, I had to skip it

[@jewelhaines8842]

It is absolutely amazing how many people behind the scenes that you never see are all coming together to make this incredible movie. The set designs were amazing... This movie was WAY underrated, I loved it! ❤

[@FilMonger]

Couldn't agree more!

[@PazuzuDarkVoid]

I love this movie so much! I hope the later generations of scifi fans will give it the appreciation it deserves.

[@luthravin4774]

Nice to see behind the scenes action and bloopers.. all the actors did a great job on this film.. I never tire from watching it.. JJL portrayed an excellent Dr. Ventress .. she just had to get to the Lighthouse..

[@13wlflvr]

Natalie and Tessa at 3:20 are so cute lol. I wonder what was so funny??

[@Vathorus]

7:45 That face when the guys are having all the fun and you just have to hold that stupid tree for them

[@Fidel_L.Bousquet1970]

Oh well... that's the "magic" of cinema. A lot of boring moments behind the camera.

[@jandupreez4880]

That's the girl that claps the slate, she probably stopped there to not make noise by sloshing thru the water and is just holding on to the tree for balance.

[@bennyton2560]

she's pretty

[@Will008]

This is so motivational!

[@littlebigman45]

Will I am Musiq agreed, this is my favorite movie of all time now, which says A LOT because I’ve held onto some of my favorite movies for a while, and I’m quite picky as a filmmaker and movie-obsessor. This is incredibly inspirational to see how much everyone cared. I like just how so focused and attentive people were to Garlands direction, then it’s also wonderful to see how much fun everyone had as well, warms my heart.

[@Will008]

Little Big Men Productions Yup! And the keyword you said was "Fun". Just to see the camaraderie and love everyone had for another just made the film maker process even better! This is so inspirational and these ladies put on a great perfomance! ✌🏾

[@RealMNeutral31]

Good movie. A very cerebral film.

[@bernhardtsen74]

only bad thing about the story is the marriage thing!why do they have a married couple in it who are the best in their field?would work better if they were strangers then the endning would have been more potent!

[@systemvoid]

Spoilers for the book, but Natalie Portman's character ends up being such a potent weapon against area x for two reasons: 1.She is an extremely extroverted and gifted biologist 2. she is the only expedition member with outside ties to the shimmer (via her husband). The fact that she has already made contact with a "clone" of the shimmer through her husband means Area X already has partial awareness of her, so the Director was hoping to use her (the biologist) as a means of first contact.

[@hhanonymous]

4:59 I wonder what this scene was? Looks like she's breaking out of a correctional facility, but scientists or people in lab coats are ignoring her? Unless reshoots were made with her in the white scrubs for the final cut to make her look less like a prisoner at the hub outside Area-X.

[@ImpoForrest]

_窮 I would imagine it was right before Natalie (forgot character name) sees the shimmer for the first time. If you notice in that scene in the film, the scientists look really alarmed while she’s staring at it.

[@lynnazuaje9941]

A deleted scene, originally after Lena woke up at the facility she subdued a guard and tried to escape, the director thought it was a little awkward she would accept going into the area after this, so it was removed.

[@alwaysdisputin9930]

Why did they put her in orange jumpsuit like a criminal? i was thinking maybe she is a doppelganger

[@d1want34]

Natalie running with the gun in the facility wasnt in the final cut

[@sour_peckanmix]

Ridhuan Abu Bakar Yeah I was trying to figure out where that would even fit in the story

[@d1want34]

Lucas Butterfield maybe originally they wouldnt let her see her husband so she force her way through?

[@sour_peckanmix]

Ridhuan Abu Bakar Maybe. I don't know what motivation they would have to do that though. Maybe to protect her from contamination?

[@alwaysdisputin9930]

yeah or protect their experiments from contamination or maybe they think she might be about to take a blood sample & sell it to another country

[@robertegblack]

Ridhuan Abu Bakar it’s a scene from the script; upon waking up at the southern reach facility she tries to escape

[@arnelis513]

From it's mystical perspective it kinda reminded me Arrival (2016) Of course this one is more horror and with tension. But that terrifying bear idea and overall visuals, sound design were simply amazing.

[@ek9509]

I wish I could see the screen-used M4A1’s outside the movie. Those MAGPUL handguards, buttstocks and magazines are just the ticket to see another screen-used gun image on IMFDB.

[@FilMonger]

❤️❤️❤️

[@IndigoChild007]

This movie low-key fucked me up. Especially the part with the bear monster thingy.😩

[@julietteferrars7739]

Considering how aesthetically pleasing the whole movie was, I thought they used so many CGIs.

[@t.lnnnnx]

THE SETTING IS SOOO BEAUTIFUL

[@RedCatHabitat]

I just wanted to mention that the bear is extremely reminiscent of a 'monster' from a Gene Wolfe book. It shows up in "the shadow of the torturer". Google "Alzabo". It was terrifying in that book. -just checked reddit and apparently lots of ppl noticed this. cheers!

[@marvinhusbands]

Love Tessa and Gina.

[@tiedupsmurf]

Fantastic film....

[@thedarklennialsz8120]

This film has a very 'Alien-esq' look, dark and viseral.

[@amydaigle746]

SimZim aka AFROKING that’s what I thought watching the trailers

[@systemvoid]

Just watched a Google talk where Alex Garland listed Full Metal Jacket and Alien as his two favorite films... Kinda just realized if you mix those together you would get something along the lines of Annihilation!

[@davemillet4160]

Exactly what I was thinking about the 'Alien' vibe. And the comment about mixing Alien and FMJ was dead on!

[@flippert0]

The scenes with Oscar and the soldiers looks horrifying, even when just on the b-roll. Because you know what happens next. Also, 5:00 was a scene cut from the movie, right?

[@bennyton2560]

Oscar is so good

Nah man, if it was real the US would just have nuked it after the first few groups didn't return.

[@donaldbrechin8170]

[@alwaysdisputin9930]

no - u can't nuke a space travelling species because it might cause war & human extinction. Nukes are a pis aller. (i think i explained this to u elsewhere maybe)

Nuke it? Great idea. Blow it up and spread it over even more of a wider range.

[@Somnivers]

Let's send a team of emotional women to save humanity,right.

[@BeachSkies]

They sent multiple groups of men and they all got lost

[@Fidel_L.Bousquet1970]

Have you actually watched the movie? They have sent 11 teams before. Military men, with big guns. Groups with drones, animals, weapons... none of them returned. They are trying a more subtle approach, and they are not "emotional woman": they are SCIENTISTS. You don't cure cancer with a bazooka, and you don't understand an alien phenomenon by sending the marines.

[@Somnivers]

A load of bullshit.Why not send a mixed team if that is the case ?Maybe it's because the author wanted to have women character to prove once again how strong women are and balance the women presence in movies kinda of shit.And then he had to add bits to the story to make it credible.It is not.The main character goes in for personal reasons and feels that she betrayed her man ,blah blah, emotional stuff.You don't send emotional people to deal with a national (don't even wanna go into world wide) threat. Everything else failed, but a bunch of women are the last hope of humanity.Perhaps in a laboratory, not on the field dealing with monsters and shit. By far , SJW feminist cringe, just like Star Trek Discovery.I liked the movie ,but on a serious note, that's what it is.

[@amydaigle746]

J.F.L. Bousquet actually if you read the book, 11 missions is just what they told new recruits. They had a few over 30 if I remember correctly.

[@systemvoid]

Also, in the book they are a squad of all women because that is the current expeditions chosen factors. There most likely have been mixed missions before, as well as all male expeditions, expeditions chosen on ethnicity or age based factors as well. The whole point is that they are trying out different variables of people against the shimmer.
