What are the highlights of the sci-fi setting in "annihilation"?

1. Alien creatures do not necessarily have any purpose in coming to the earth. They just want to create new things.

2. The aliens in the form of chrysanthemum clouds, Zhao Ziliang naturally dares to show them generously! Also gave more than a minute of close-up!

It's not a god, the angle I see is that the cloud-shaped aliens come to earth to play with DNA, just like children go to the mud to play with mud, and they are finally burned to death by humans.

I thought it was a soft sci-fi. How does a soft sci-fi defeat the three-body? After reading it, I found that the brain hole is still bigger than that of Da Liu. Da Liu is still limited to using people as a reference to imagine aliens, carbon-based or silicon-based or nebula creatures, and they come to the earth for a purpose, to occupy resources for aggression, etc... But not in the movie, not in the earth Aggression just wants to create new things, or even has no purpose at all. Refraction and variability are just the influence of this creature on the surrounding environment, and it will refract everything including DNA. Our imagination is still too limited, anthropocentrism.

The ending is very interesting. After listening to the Asian face, he was instantly excited and asked: "So its alien? Can you describe the form? Carbon based or..." The female protagonist interrupted it very indifferently. Yeah, these are just furs, does it matter?

In addition, don't worry about not being able to portray the image of aliens on the screen, for fear of falling into a cliché, wouldn't the director show it generously? At present, the most shocking alien creature image in the movie, a cloud-shaped chrysanthemum:

    So? 丨Alex Garland has been included in the blacklist, and he is weak as deep, so it is mysterious as mysterious.

    Although the visual spectacle is amazing, I also enjoy the sense of chaos that is not destroyed until the end-the form and structure of organisms come and go freely disorder and recombination, the state of decadence and loss of alien flashes, and life is full of infinity after annihilation Plastic energy clusters are even fragments of character consciousness and cognition out of reach. The all-female expedition lineup is great, but from the perspective of concept, drama and emotion, "Arrives" is much better.

Annihilation quotes

  • Lena: You said nothing comes back. But something has...

  • Kane: I was just looking at the moon. It's always so weird seeing it like that in the daylight.

    Lena: Like God made a mistake. Left the hall lights on.

    Kane: God doesn't make mistakes. That's... somewhat key to the whole "being a god" thing.

    Lena: Pretty sure he does.

    Kane: You know he's listening right now, don't you?

    Lena: You take a cell, circumvent the Hayflick limit, you can prevent senescence.

    Kane: I was about to make the exact same point.

    Lena: It means the cell doesn't grow old, it becomes immortal. Keeps dividing, doesn't die. They say aging is a natural process, but it's actually a fault in our genes.

    Kane: I get really turned on when you patronize me. It's really hot.

    Lena: Without it, I could keep looking like this forever.

    Kane: Oh, okay. Well, that could constitute a mistake.
