Annihilation

Lena, a biologist, enters a zone where the landscape is refracting, because her husband came back from it and is not entirely back. Garland sends a team of scientists in and lets the science fail politely. Natalie Portman plays Lena as someone who would rather classify the change than name the marriage. The zone copies what it meets, including them. The Paramount trailer is the shimmer and the lighthouse. The film’s last shot is a question the debrief cannot file.
