In form and content, Annihilation resembles Stalker, with Natalie Portman's Lena, a cellular biologist and college professor with a military background, who enters the «Shimmer,» an ever - expanding, rainbow - colored barrier of
possibly alien origin, to undercover both the true nature of the Shimmer and the mystery behind her husband Kane's (Oscar Isaac) year - long disappearance and sudden reappearance.
With four characters, one of them a completely new skin that could
possibly be
alien in
origin, are standing over what appears to be a crater from the meteor that the community has been extremely curious about regarding where it will land and what it will destroy with Tilted Towers and Dusty Depot currently the two most likely targets for the meteor's destruction.
