      Quickly explain the scientific nature of annihilation, and let everyone take a good look at the characters

      The film is based on a sci-fi theme and tells the characters and stories of many characters. In the appearance that looks colorful and mysterious, and the dark atmosphere of Cthulhu hidden under the appearance, it is obscure and difficult. In fact, after seeing his sci-fi setting, you will find that the story is very simple, and then when you watch it again, you can better see the plot by paying attention to the changes in the characters.

      To put it simply: In essence, the entire X area...

      "Man's oldest and strongest fear is the fear of the unknown."

      Personally, I think it is the best narrative and the best picture I have seen in the year.

      Describing the development of the story from the point of view of the biologist Lena's self-reported, left countless places worth pondering and speculating for the audience, as well as mysteries, creating suspense for the entire film, which is in line with the biggest theme of the film "unknown".

      Briefly describe the plot of "annihilation"

      In general, it is through the perspective of the heroine to show the way of life of alien lifeforms to explore the earth. With the lighthouse as the center, the scope of the laboratory is constantly expanding. Conducting research on Earth species within the range, constantly merging their DNA with each other, resulting in different life forms, eventually producing what it believes to be the perfect life form, while also destroying its own laboratory. And that form is human. The ending of the...

      The end of romance is aimless

      In today’s video-first era, there is actually a very simple way to evaluate whether you really like a movie, and that is to see if you have the urge to buy the original book after watching the movie. I found out about this little step in college. After reading the version of "No One Survives" by Shanghai Mousetrap Drama Studio, I immediately found the original novel to read. A reasoning story that already knows the process and the ending, but because of one interpretation, I have the desire...

He volunteered to join the Vision World exploration team, even though he knew that this was a mission that would never return. Before leaving, he confessed affectionately to his wife, telling...

      "Everything I don't understand is a slot. I can't figure it out, it must be a serious problem with logic..." Well, this is in line with most people.

      "annihilation" is the most fascinating phenomenon that I encountered when I was studying physics. When I met the anti-me, I just touched it and disappeared. It's not the ghosts and ghosts here at all, maybe I wouldn't be so upset if I changed it to another...

    Evaluation action

    "Annihilation" adopts a non-linear narrative structure, with the scientific expedition team's southern exploration as the main line, interspersed with flashbacks of the heroine's memory, and the open ending creates an infinite aftertaste. This film is different from previous science fiction films, adding elements of horror and psychological fear on the basis of science fiction, triggering the audience to face unknown situations with...

    Movie quotes

    • [last lines]

      Lena: You aren't Kane... are you?

      Kane: I don't think so.

      [pause]

      Kane: Are you Lena?

    • Josie Radek: [to Lena, about the Shimmer] Ventress wants to face it. You want to fight it. But I don't think I want either of those things.

    • Lena: Why did my husband volunteer for a suicide mission?

      Dr Ventress: Is that what you think we're doing? Committing suicide?

      Lena: You must have profiled him. You must have assessed him. He must have said something.

      Dr Ventress: So you're asking me as a psychologist?

      Lena: Yeah.

      Dr Ventress: Then, as a psychologist, I think you're confusing suicide with self-destruction. Almost none of us commit suicide, and almost all of us self-destruct. In some way, in some part of our lives. We drink, or we smoke, we destabilize the good job... and a happy marriage. But these aren't decisions, they're... they're impulses. In fact, you're probably better equipped to explain this than I am.

      Lena: What does that mean?

      Dr Ventress: You're a biologist. Isn't the self-destruction coded into us? Programmed into each cell?
