*Sorry, there was a problem signing you up. Smith’s choreography is brutal and heartbreaking and relentless: Lena, who all this time has assumed this mission was about avenging her husband, or finishing what he had started, is overwhelmed by the weight of her own self. If a part of the Shimmer remains, so does the possibility of a sequel, but it’s likely to be even more fundamentally different. The doppelgänger, we are to assume, makes his way back out of the Shimmer.
There’s no verbal response to this, but the two embrace and we see the Shimmer reflected in both their eyes.
The face-off occurs at the end of the film’s trek into the Shimmer, a mysterious, probably paranormal zone that is spreading through the Florida swampland in which all manner of biological impossibilities are taking place. I’m no modern dance buff, and the dancer and choreographer is not someone who would have been on the tip of my tongue if it wasn’t for last year’s ravishing documentary Bobbi Jene, by director Elvira Lind. The Batman: New Set Photos Reveal Details of Gotham City, SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run Director Speaks on How Coronavirus Affected the Release, Die Hard Is Back: Bruce Willis Returns in Mysterious New Teaser, Man of Steel Star Kevin Costner Won't Reveal If He's Returning for Zack Snyder's Justice League, Dwayne Johnson Updates Black Adam Shooting Start. “Don’t Underestimate Midwest American Sun,” the unassuming centerpiece of Morby’s new album, feels expansive. Liz has an MA in English and a lot of time on her hands.
— assuming that Lena is, or ever has in the course of the film, been acting out of self-preservation, self-continuation. In a piece entitled “The Alien,” it grows to a shimmering (appropriately) wall of backward-looping strings, punctuated by what will heretofore be known as the Annihilation Noise, and sounds like the multicolored explosions of lichen that burp up out of the Shimmer’s altered landscape. It’s also a polarizing one. The open-ended nature of this ending gives Garland free reign to decide what lies at the bottom of the hole, and what happens when Lena emerges from it. Garland wrote the film’s script before the final two books were even written, which means none of the characters or events of the later books are present.
(I say more or less because the hole is in a different place and contains different horrors). The Shimmer is not an environment where humans can remain stable for long, they all break down one way or another, and the music and visuals seek to replicate that titular annihilation; you feel pushed up against that wall along with Lena.

His stabilization (when Lena left him, he was suffering massive organ failure and internal bleeding) seems to have coincided with the implied destruction of the Shimmer. In the cavern that the hole leads to, she finds Ventress, whose body has been taken over by the extraterrestrial force that has caused the Shimmer.
Basically, the Shimmer absorbs DNA from every living thing inside of it, and refracts those genetic traits in beautiful (or nightmarish) new combinations, slowly changing all living organisms inside of it. What did you think of Annihilation? “We were surrounded by Secret Service and police and internal security.”. Watching Natalie Portman stuck in a seemingly inescapable dance with her faceless, iridescent double — watching it turn violent, not out of malice, but because it can’t help but be — called to mind Smith’s controlled throwing of herself across a performance space, the internal passion and turmoil of the self made physical.

Eventually, Josie, Cass and Anya are dead, and Ventress has gone missing, having charged ahead to the lighthouse.
