The film is based on the critically acclaimed 2014 best-selling novel by Jeff VanderMeer and follows a group of female scientists who are sent on an expedition to Area X — an unexplained, uninhabited place that has claimed many victims from previous expeditions. Plus, this one boasts an unbelievably talented cast, including Gina Rodriguez, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tessa Thompson, and, of course, Natalie Portman.
