I felt alone after seeing Annihilation, because everybody - online and otherwise - were talking about the aliens motivation. If it was evil. The look in its eyes in the end. I felt like the way Alex Garland is describing his thoughts on aliens. Like it just happened on earth. Even crashlanded. No motivation at al. Just being itself, so to speak. Being and reacting. No evil plan.,(reply>), Yeah, people keep ascribing agency and personhood to the alien and the shimmer, but it's more like our realm is brushing up against another one in a particular spot and the ecosystems are mixing. Like brackish waters where a river meets the sea.,(reply>), If you look at the actions of mankind we are far more evil.,(reply>), You felt alone cause everyone else understood it as a hubristic bad parody of Stalker.
