Annihilation movie plot
-
Josie Radek: At first I thought the radio waves were blocked by the shimmer and that's why no one inside could communicate with base or GPS but the light waves aren't blocked, they're refracted and...
Josie Radek: [takes her walkie talkie out of her bag and turns it on] It's the same with the radios. Signals aren't gone, they're scrambled. That leaf in your hand, do you know what you'd get if you sequenced it?
Lena: What?
Josie Radek: Human Hox genes.
Anya Thorensen: Hox? What does "Hox" mean?
Lena: They're the genes that define the body plan, the physical structure.
Josie Radek: And the plants have human body plan. Arms attached to shoulders, legs to hips.
Lena: It's literally not possible.
Josie Radek: It's literally what's happening. The Shimmer is a prism, but it refracts everything. Not just light and radio waves... animal DNA, plant DNA, all DNA.
Anya Thorensen: What you mean "all DNA"?
Dr Ventress: She's talking about our DNA. She's talking about us.

Dr Ventress: It's the last phase. Vanished into havoc. Unfathomable mind. Now beacon, now sea.
Lena: Dr. Ventress?
Dr Ventress: Lena? We spoke, what was it we said? That I needed to know what was inside the lighthouse. That moment's passed. It's inside me now.
Lena: What's inside you?
Dr Ventress: [Whispered] It's not like us, it's unlike us.
[Normal volume]
Dr Ventress: I don't know what it wants, or if it wants, but it will grow until it encompasses everything. Our bodies and our minds will be fragmented into their smallest parts, until not one part remains... Annihilation.
