Annihilation: Self-Focus and Nihilism

My symbolic analysis of Annihilation (2018) from a Christian psychology perspective. Annihilation is directed by Alex Garland, based on the book by Jeff VanderMeer, starring Natalie Portman, with Oscar Isaac, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, and Tuva Novotny. I found some symbolic patterns in the film reveal truths about ultimate meaning and even gender, as the story seems to be a distortion or inversion of the Genesis account of Creation and the Garden of Eden. It supports my thesis that focus on self and exclusion of God as the highest value leads to nihilism and self-destruction.
