So you’re terminally ill. Oh, and the last person on Earth. Finding it hard to focus?
Augustine sure is. But he still finds time to search for a future. You see, a few stranded astronauts can use his help.
Dystopian futures can be downers, but this one isn’t. Its weaved storylines are never boring—and never too heavy. It’s about relationships and connections, not how scary the end of existence might seem.
The story is engaging enough, but pro moviemaking adds depth. For one thing, each scene is pretty enough to watch on its own. Barren settings are made beautiful. Alternating focus draws our attention. Subtle differences in light, greys and blacks, change our mood in a split second.
In a cold, dark universe, there are pockets of light. This movie is one.
