Santiago A @Salmiron1976 Feb 6 Wow. Honestly and objectively, I can’t remember a worse movie in my life, corny, unrealistic, cliché, boring, and not even funny. Just avoid. See more Vincent G @RT11656629 Aug 23 Last Signal is a grounded, human-scale slice of science fiction: part disaster movie, part survival drama, anchored by a father–daughter bond. The film moves between Earthbound chaos and the quiet isolation of space, using that split perspective to keep tension simmering without turning into empty spectacle. The visual effects are sturdy, the sound design does a lot of heavy lifting, and several set-pieces feel tactile and well staged. For a mid-budget production, it looks and sounds convincing enough to sell the stakes. Where it falters is on the page. Some beats are predictable, a few lines over-explain what the images already show, and the science is occasionally hand-wavy. The pacing can wobble—stretches of melodrama slow the momentum before the next crisis snaps it back into focus. Still, the emotional through-line generally works, and the film remains accessible even if you don’t live and breathe hard sci-fi. And then there’s the context. It’s hard—if not impossible—to watch a contemporary Russian film without thinking about the atrocities committed in Ukraine. That reality colors the experience. No matter the good work of individual artists, the cultural export is shadowed by political choices and the harm they enabled. It’s sad, but it’s there, and it affects how the film lands. Bottom line: As a sci-fi fan, I think Last Signal is a good movie—earnest, engaging, and technically solid—whose impact is unavoidably complicated by the present geopolitical context.

This dubbed version was borderline unwatchable. I actually couldn't finish it. Maybe try Greenland if you want a recommendation of a similar film, but done right, in my opinion. If you liked "Last Signal", all power to you! It just wasn't for me. See more Koi P @hopep Jul 12 Well written and acted characters. Suspensful. Good story line. See more Mike M @RT24804458 Jun 8 Amazing Russian film dubbed in English. I won't give away the story. It should be shown everywhere to prove that no matter what country you live in, family and the desire to live a good life are the most important things to us all. Only the politicians divide us. The father of the oldest girl in the story is on the Mir space station and somehow is able to contact his daughter guiding her, using just about any device on earth. That requires some suspension of belief. If you can get past that and just go with it, you will find the film predictable yet enjoyable, heartwarming entertainment. See more R T @RT54123998 May 26 There are some spots in the film that leaves 'me' grasping to feel the characters in the writing and performance. However, once I got past the feeling of knowing the roles, it got interesting. There's a lot of these types of movies so it would be difficult these days to make a audience wanting for this particular one to see. Worth the wait to get into it. See more Read all reviews
