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. Rated: 2/4 Aug 26, 2022 Full Review Peter Canavese Groucho Reviews To put it simply, The Last Journey has enjoyable trappings but doesn't amount to much.

danny D The film, unfortunately, suffers from an American dub that doesn’t do it justice. I watched it, then found it again with subtitles, and it was a completely different experience. I found the film absolutely fascinating, with unique and poetic visuals and direction. It’s incredibly talented work—an atypical film, a gem, a rare and precious French sci-fi oddity. It’s the kind of film you’d wish to see more often. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/26/24 Full Review Jeffrey P Different. Tries. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/28/24 Full Review Victor S Confused plot meanders through cool, undeveloped concepts for no reason. Beautiful lighting direction, some decent ideas but the world is painfully not fleshed out for what could have been a great setting, average to good cinematography, but in the end the movie suffers from so many story problems it feels hazy and nonsensical. You can only plaster over so many plot holes with style for the sake of style. I will say the movie has a great sense of colour with stark teal vehicle on chocolate brown earth or magenta fluorescent lights on a person's face; however, the writer never came back to fix any of the details. If you go in with no expectations except low budget CGI and pretty colours and accept the plot will be poorly constructed deus ex machina scarecrows that are never explained, you might enjoy it as style for the sake of style. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/10/23 Full Review baba g it has a campy mid-60's nouvelle vague french 'sci-fi' feel & look; i could take the mediocre SFX & CGI because the cinematography is lovely & the framing is good enough, the principal actor's uncanny but washed out resemblance to louis jourdan (look him up) because there are some truly lovely faces in it, the pain of watching an actor i love (jean reno) who just doesn't seem to have it anymore, the generally lackluster, wispy, gauzy commitment to narrative, but after about maybe 18-20 minutes or so the absolutely EXECRABLE voice dubs just exhausted my patience & there was apparently no language selection to choose from. i MIGHT go back & finish it if i can find the original language version despite there being no real THERE there.
