A-

Hammock may have begun his career making worlds for other directors, but given a chance to create his own here, he not only succeeds but excels.

Hammock's carefully composed widescreen shots of the parched landscape contribute to crafting the film's stripped-down, distinctly menacing visual aesthetic and emphasize the isolation of the inhabitants, forced to compete for water and survival.

A compelling and interesting script that is only elevated further by performance and Seamus Tierney's visuals.

2/5

At times displaying a bit of intrigue with its topical ideas, too much banality and a general lack of tension renders the film as dry as the arid tomb it depicts.

At times, like its cast of characters, The Last Survivors looks a little rough around the edges, but it certainly achieves more than its glossy compatriots.

There's nothing really new on the thematic front here, but production designer-turned-director Tom Hammock does wonders with desert vistas and, along with Richardson, has created a sci-fi heroine as real as the girl next door.

Boring as drought. It has interesting plot but failed to deliver.

Slow and meandering, The Last Survivors has decent performances and an interesting premise, but it dries up before it reaches its climax.
