What Does the Shimmer Do to Living Organisms? | Annihilation (2018)
In Annihilation, Area X and the mysterious Shimmer transform everything they come into contact with, mixing DNA, species, plants, animals, and even human memories. But what exactly is this entity, and what is it really doing?
In this video, we take a detailed look at how the Shimmer works, why creatures like the shark-toothed alligator, the plant-like deer, the mutated bear, and the human-shaped plants exist, and what these transformations reveal about Area X.
We also explore the connection between the entity, genetic refraction, the duplication of Lena and Kane, the ouroboros symbol, and one of the movie’s most important themes: human self-destruction.
Finally, we break down the ending of Annihilation, explain what the entity inside the lighthouse may actually represent, and why it ends up copying not only our biology, but also one of humanity’s darkest traits.
