Ridley Scott's 'The Dog Stars' Lacks Energy Despite Strong Cast

Ridley Scott's post-apocalyptic film "The Dog Stars" follows four flu-pandemic survivors, but the low-energy narrative fails to sustain dramatic tension. Jacob Elordi leads a charismatic cast, yet the film lacks compelling characters to anchor its mellow, character-driven approach. The review suggests the movie arrives at the end of a loud summer, offering a subdued but ultimately unsatisfying experience.
