Annihilation is different from your average sci-fi movie, it's actually more of a psychological horror that features many A-list actors like Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Oscar Isaak.

At the center of the story is a young woman named Lena, a biologist who has lost her husband. Together with some other people she signed up for a dangerous expedition to solve the mystery of her husband's disappearance.

All of them have to enter a certain zone called The Shimmer, but after they manage to get there successfully, they discover something they didn't even hope to see. The zone is full of mutating plants and animals caused by... an alien presence.

They quickly realize that the laws of nature don't apply there, and their expedition turns into a deadly experiment on how to survive in a world where everything is programmed to kill you.

Unfortunately, the movie ended up being a flop, mostly because of the specific genre it is in. However, the score of the movie on Rotten Tomatoes is 88%, which means that the audience liked it.

So if you feel like Annihilation is definitely something that you will watch with your eyes wide open, try streaming it on Netflix.
