Phuong Le Guardian The inattention to detail is what makes this feel like a triumph of style over content, and not in a good way. Rated: 2/5 Feb 28, 2022 Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies [T]he movie feels like a tour through some exceptional design, decent visual effects, and a load of ideas in need of much more development.

couto m The Last Journey is a stunning piece of work from start to finish. With its captivating storyline and visually striking style, it draws you into a world that’s as fascinating as it is emotional. The narrative is rich with heart, featuring well-developed characters and dialogue that truly resonates. Quirot, the main character, perfectly embodies the inner struggle between duty and personal desire, making him instantly relatable. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/07/25 Full Review loki l In a world often saturated with flashy, effects-heavy American science fiction, The Last Journey by Romain Quirot stands out as a rare offering: bold, poetic, and handcrafted. Quietly released in 2021, this French sci-fi film was largely overlooked by both mainstream audiences and much of the critical sphere — unfairly so. Because behind its budgetary constraints lies a sincere, visually ambitious, and emotionally resonant work. In short, a truly underrated gem. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/25 Full Review Golden B Rarely has French science fiction been so bold and visually stunning. Le Dernier Voyage impresses with its meticulous aesthetics, worthy of major international productions, while retaining a deeply personal touch. The film’s post-apocalyptic universe is elevated by inspired direction and breathtaking cinematography. The duo of Hugo Becker and Lya Oussadit-Lessert works wonderfully, delivering characters that are both moving and captivating. An ambitious, poetic, and deeply immersive film that proves French sci-fi can shine at the highest level. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/25 Full Review Open L The Last Journey is a poetic odyssey, blending stunning visuals with a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere. Every frame feels like a painting Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/28/25 Full Review Yeahyeah S I loved this one. Strange and original. Love the vintage french ost! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Cove A The Last Journey (Le Dernier Voyage) is much more than a simple sci-fi film. Beneath its apocalyptic quest lies a true poetic essence, both visual and narrative. Every frame feels like a painting, blending shades of ochre and red to depict a dying world, yet finding a strange beauty in the desolation. Through its silences, gazes, and haunting music, the film draws viewers into a reflective space where humanity and its contradictions are delicately explored. It transcends traditional genre conventions, opting to ask existential questions rather than offer easy answers. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Read all reviews
