20 Most Rewatchable Sci-Fi Movies Of The 21st Century

3. Annihilation

Another appearance for Ex Machina helmer and 28 Days Later scribe/ fast zombie inventor Alex Garland, this 2018 horror sci fi adventure follows a distraught Natalie Portman as she enters a strange zone misshapen by alien forces in pursuit of her missing husband (a chilling Oscar Issacs).

This flick may not be flawless, but the strange alien creations and their unpredictable effects on the human denizens of this surreal zone demand a re-watch as the film is filled with impressive, gasp-inducing imagery from a mutated bear speaking through a human skull, to a strange mural built out of flowering plants and a decomposing corpse splayed across a swimming pool, to a woman absorbed into some shrubbery.

It’s as odd, and oddly fascinating, as it sounds.
