What is movies like annihilation?

Annihilation is a 2018 science-fiction thriller film, directed by Alex Garland and starring Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, and Oscar Isaac. The movie is adapted from Jeff VanderMeer's novel of the same name, with some tweaks to the original plot.

The movie follows a biologist named Lena, who embarks on an expedition to a mysterious and quarantined zone known as "The Shimmer," where her husband, Kane, disappeared a year prior. As Lena and her team journey deeper into the Shimmer, they encounter strange and dangerous phenomena that challenge their understanding of reality and biology.

Like Annihilation, other movies in the science-fiction thriller genre include Ex Machina (directed by Alex Garland as well), Arrival (2016), Blade Runner 2049 (2017), and Inception (2010). These movies explore complex themes such as artificial intelligence, alternate dimensions, memory, and existentialism, with a focus on character-driven narratives and mind-bending visuals.
