Euronews Culture's Film of the Week: "The Dog Stars" doesn't save us

Euronews Portugal28 August 2026 at 13:54

Ridley Scott's new film, "The Dog Stars", is centered on a post-apocalyptic setting where the story unfolds. The production features Jacob Elordi as the protagonist, accompanied by his faithful dog, in an attempt to explore human survival in a devastated world.

The article notes that despite the expectations created by Elordi's presence and his canine companion, the film fails to offer the redemption or salvation that might have been expected. The post-apocalyptic narrative does not significantly surprise the viewer.

Josh Brolin appears as an element that, according to Euronews Culture's review, still manages to spark some hope within the story. His character or presence in the film stands out as a positive point in a production that, otherwise, fails to meet expectations.
