    How to interpret the open ending of "annihilation"?

    Conclusion: The fake Lena who survived was an alien, and the real Lena was burned to death.

    Reason 1: The fat Asian man asked Lena what happened, and Lena recalled and narrated normally. However, Lena had a big doubt in one part of her memory-after entering the flash, Lena woke up, but she did not...

    In my opinion, apart from the artistic imagination, this movie can be said to be a useless magical movie, not even a science fiction movie, at best it is a more pretending horror movie.

    A very hard sci-fi core, the process of matter and its antimatter colliding to generate energy is annihilation. In fact, the easiest way to distinguish copied aliens from normal people is mirror reflection. If normal people are left-handed, the copying person must be right-handed. The director left a lot of small details in the ending to imply that the heroine who came out was a clone rather than herself. The yellow halo in the eyes of the two at the end seemed to confirm a perfect colonization.

    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.
