Alex Garland’s Ex Machina is a brilliant film, so topping (or even equaling) it would be a pretty tall order.
In his adaptation of Jeff VanderMeer’s Southern Reach novel Annihilation, Garland does just that.
Now, Annihilation is coming to home video – on digital on May 22nd, and on Blu-ray and DVD on May 29th – with six featurettes in three groupings that take the viewer inside the Southern Reach.
