De hecho la vendieron a Netflix por ser “demasiado intelectual”. Lo cual quiere decir que no hay mamporros ni Tom Cruise.

Pues para Sitges 2018.
¿Quejarse de que hay demasiadas mujeres y pedir más hombres? Sí, efectivamente tiene un nombre.

Beautifully executed though thematically murky, Alex Garland’s (“Ex Machina”) adaptation of Jeff VanderMeer’s best-seller novel is an exercise in psychedelia and cinematic dissonance.
Though not as existentially unnerving as “Ex Machina,” it’s one of the most ambitious head movies ever made, laced with trace elements of Carpenter’s “The Thing” and Tarkovsky’s “Stalker,” with a little Lovecraft and “Alien” thrown in for good measure. Fair warning: frustration is a built-in part of the experience.
The mystery box that drives the story is a phenomenon dubbed ‘The Shimmer,’ an extraterrestrial energy field with a soap-bubble sheen that springs up in the Florida marshes. It is studied for years, and though plenty of drones and personnel are sent into it, nothing ever comes back – until a soldier, Kane (Oscar Isaac), returns home to his biologist wife, Lena (Natalie Portman), a year after she has written him off as dead.
Kane is unwell, and to get to the root of his illness Lena joins an expedition into the Shimmer consisting of four other women: psychologist/team leader Dr. Ventress (Jennifer Jason Leigh), paramedic Anya (Gina Rodriguez), physicist Josie (Tessa Thompson), and anthropologist Cass (Tuva Novotny).
The subsequent odyssey posits more questions than it answers as the team traverses an increasingly surreal landscape. It’s tricky material for even the most skilled of filmmakers, but Garland deftly avoids over-explaining Annihilation‘s mysteries (what little of them are explained, that is) or watering down the story into something more mainstream.
The movie is greatly thought-provoking and equal parts elegant and strange, but it often leans heavily into its beautiful weirdness at the expense of depth. Its characters are often detached and remote in a “2001: A Space Odyssey” sort of way, which would be fine if they weren’t humanized with complex back stories. Thompson and Rodriguez are underused, though the latter does get to throw her “Jane the Virgin” image under the bus and carry the film’s most terrifying sequence.
It’s a mind-bending film, and one that also plays with warping the medium as well, especially during its final act. Like the aforementioned “2001,” it’s more of an experience than entertainment. Be sure to check your patience and your expectations the door.

la verdad es que no acabo de ver la traslacion de la novela en una pelicula, me temo que la hayan querido darle un aire demasiado comercial. El personaje de Portman segun la descirpcion es psicologa y ex soldado, mal vamos, porque de soldado no tenia nada en la novela, pero siento curiosidad y el director me merece bastante confianza.

Es que trasladar la novela es harto imposible, le tienen que haber dado cierta coherencia y definición para que funcione minimamente en celuloide, porque la primea novela propone mucho pero aporta muy poco por no decir nada, de hecho las dos primeras novelas a mi ni me funcionaron en papel y la tercera la tengo pendiente.

La película me llama más las novelas (que había leído opiniones similares a lo que comenta Last Monkey), yo creo que puede salir una cosa interesante

A mi la película me llama y mucho, sigo a Garland desde su época de escritor de La Playa, Ex- Machina es una barbaridad y Portman como siempre enamora, pero el material de partida es lo que me escama, veremos a ver.
