Center
Primary
The film's core narrative explores philosophical and existential themes such as self-destruction, biological mutation, and the incomprehensibility of alien life, rather than advocating for specific political ideologies or solutions.
The movie features a diverse, all-female main cast, though these characters are original to the adaptation rather than recasts of established roles. Its narrative focuses on existential themes and does not explicitly critique traditional identities.
Secondary
The character of Ventress, described in the source novel as having "dark skin," is portrayed by a white actress in the film adaptation. This constitutes a race swap.
Annihilation does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative primarily focuses on a scientific expedition into a mysterious anomaly and the personal relationships of its heterosexual protagonist, without depicting any queer identities or relationships.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Annihilation" adapts the novel of the same name. All primary characters, including the all-female expedition team and Lena's husband, maintain the same gender as established in the source material.
