Ridley Scott’s take on Peter Heller’s novel looks like a bleak but emotional survival story, following a pilot trying to keep going in the ruins of a pandemic-shattered America. The trailer leans hard on the disaster imagery, but it also points to something more character-driven beneath it.
Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin and Margaret Qualley lead a film that seems more interested in hope and human connection than empty end-of-the-world spectacle.
