Review of Annihilation

Annihilation (I) (2018)
9/10
Purgatory revisited
13 March 2018
Thanks to Netflix for giving the Alex Garland room for this masterfully produced sermon. The Oxford atheist turned Christian; C.S.Lewis learned from St. Augustine and him from The old book, that all is created good, but evil is a perversion or a distortion of the true image in which all is created. So evil is lack of true good as in misuse, lie, unfaithfulness - all these vices are destructive since they are lesser foods for the true food that all souls hunger for (turning into idols). This great movie is a classic pilgrimage to the lighthouse (I am the light of the world) by 5 women turned in some way by their choices or by loss into less than they where memt to be. The story in this fine biblical narrative is An Uncreation taking place, since evil is a parasite on being and hence must dissolve it self in the end into a mere shadow (like the result of a phosphorus explosive) - but ONE drop of blood (Calvary) may restore all and shame and sin will be washed away. What comes of that NEW CREATION The part takers won't even know. This is 17th century Milton's "Paradise Lost" and "Paradise Regained" in great new setting. Bless Your heart guys for making this.
