Alex Garland's Annihilation, one of the best films of the year, hits Blu-ray this week. In honor of the Blu-ray release, we're giving away 3 free Annihilation 4K Blu-rays. This 4K Blu-ray is a Best Buy exclusive, but you can snag a free copy from us, if you're lucky. All you need to do to enter is head on down to the comment section and tell us your favorite Natalie Portman performance. That's it! U.S. residents only, please (sorry). Winners will be chosen at random.

In Annihilation, "biologist and former soldier Lena (Natalie Portman) is shocked when her missing husband (Oscar Isaac) comes home near death from a top-secret mission into The Shimmer, a mysterious quarantine zone no one has ever returned from. Now, Lena and her elite team must enter a beautiful, deadly world of mutated landscapes and creatures, to discover how to stop the growing phenomenon that threatens all life on Earth. The film also stars Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, and Tuva Novotny."

Annihilation was a polarizing film. Some didn't care for Garland's strange, trippy adaptation, while others (like me, for instance) hailed it as a masterpiece. As I said in my review:

"With Annihilation, Ex Machina director Alex Garland has crafted a weird, challenging, and disturbing sci-fi horror film that will repel some and amaze others. This is the type of strange, hypnotic work that film fans obsess over. Don't be surprised if people are studying and talking about this film in years to come."
