Le dernier voyage

"The Last Journey of Paul W. R." is set in a post-apocalyptic world on the brink of destruction as the "Red Moon," a massive celestial body, is about to collide with Earth. There's only one man who can save the planet by piloting a rocket loaded with nuclear bombs into this planet-sized object. But just days before the mission, the chosen man, Paul W. R., goes missing.

Visually, this film is stunning, especially considering its modest budget. The director used the budget wisely, creating breathtaking scenes with a unique artistic touch. The blend of futuristic technology and hyperrealistic visuals makes the movie look impressive without feeling cheap at any point.

The main cast includes four key characters: Paul, who's supposed to carry out the mission but decides to run away; his brother, who has always been in Paul's shadow; their eccentric father, who is responsible for the mission and obsessed with destroying the Red Moon; and young Elma, a girl from a broken family who befriends Paul and helps him escape. Both Paul and Elma share a common bond of growing up without their mothers.

The film focuses on the growing friendship between Paul and Elma and the tension between Paul and his brother, who is chasing them. Both brothers have some paranormal abilities. Paul's visions give him glimpses of the future, hinting that something might be off with the mission. Meanwhile, his brother uses his powers destructively.

At its core, the movie explores people trying to deal with the challenges of dysfunctional families and the need to mature, regardless of their age. The characters are trying to escape from their past, but they're forced to face reality, even with the looming cosmic threat. It's a story about friendship, trust, and sacrifice.

Although the movie isn't fast-paced, it's relatively short, and the time passes quickly. I never felt bored and was eager to see how things would unfold. While the ending was a bit predictable, it was still satisfying. I'd recommend this film to sci-fi fans.
