The first time I watched a trailer for Annihilation I was instantly intrigued. I am, of course, a big fan of Natalie Portman, and whenever I see her holding a rifle . . . or a blaster, it makes me smile.
Now, the first trailer was pretty vague, and I think this new trailer gives away a little bit more of the ghost, so to speak. In this case, I don’t think it will be a ghost, but either an alien seeding of the Earth, a new species being brought forth, or perhaps the Shimmer might be the Garden of Eden.
Either way, I am ready to discover the answer. I am not a giant sci-fi fan, but I do enjoy the mystery aspect of exploring something unique.
And, let’s just have fun with this fact too, Amidala is in love with Poe, and she’s willing to go to the ends of the Earth to find out what happened to him. Sorry, I can’t be the only one to chuckle at that. I have to feed my inner Star Wars geek.
Anyway, check out the trailer and chime in with what you think the “Shimmer” might be.
