–
Neutral summary
Ridley Scott’s new film, released under different titles in various markets — “The Last War” in Spanish-speaking countries, “Ponto Sem Retorno” in Brazil and “The Dog Stars” in France — is now in theaters, depicting a world devastated by a flu pandemic. The cast includes Jacob Elordi, Margaret Qualley, Josh Brolin and Guy Pearce. Critics praise Scott’s direction and technical craft but find the story unoriginal and laden with clichés. O Globo’s reviewer calls it a “problematic look and tired narrative,” while La Nación says the film has “good intentions but weak results.”
