The Dog Stars

Ridley Scott points a lean science fiction thriller straight at the big screen: a man holed up in a Colorado airplane hangar with his dog and a hardened gunman, until a mysterious radio transmission sends him hunting across the wasteland in his old Cessna. Josh Brolin, Jacob Elordi and Guy Pearce anchor an adventure that runs on high stakes and forward motion. It plays in English in Kyiv, and it is the easiest one here to actually catch.

Ridley Scott builds a hushed, atmospheric adventure about a man, his dog, and a single mysterious radio signal that pulls him back toward hope. With Jacob Elordi, Margaret Qualley, and Josh Brolin, it trades noise for feeling, and its tagline says it best: at the end of the world, no one survives alone. It is the kind of tender, suspenseful night out that leaves you talking about what you would chase across the sky for each other.
