Reminds me of an old movie "Evolution Crisis-Evolution"

"Evolutionary Crisis" rated it as spoof, comedy, sci-fi, cliché, idiot. But it is not deep enough, not serious enough, not big enough, not thoughtful enough. In fact, compared with "annihilation", the plot is a bit like

a meteorite hitting the earth, forming a strange alien world isolated from the world. From unicellular to multicellular, from birds to primates, alien creatures have evolved at an unimaginable speed and began to affect the survival of human beings





Of course, the three views of this movie are not so illusory and real, not so scary and aesthetic, and not so philosophical. The characters figure out a way to eliminate the invaders before the aliens adapt to the Earth's environment. Fire and atomic bombs were used in the beginning. In the end, it was done with Head & Shoulders

. Today, we have a profound, serious, large-scale production, very thoughtful, terrifying and beautiful "annihilation"

. It is found that people in the film are not concerned about this X area, and it is no longer a group of troops rushing in with flamethrowers on their backs , if it doesn't work, use carpet bombing to solve the problem, but one team after another enters this fantasy and real world, which is mixed with the heroine's feelings and betrayal (who doesn't have a difficult scripture to read?) Let us not know whether she went in with a team, or the team is actually a variety of personalities she imagined...

In the end, her husband is a replica of an alien, and she is a foreigner from the earth. The finished product of Star Refraction DNA. Her replica is responsible for destroying all failed efforts. I was actually thinking, would they try a Head & Shoulders shampoo?

Annihilation quotes

  • 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?
