4/5 for The Dog Stars

It’s not up there like Alien, it won’t challenge you like The Duellists, but Ridley Scott’s new movie The Dog Stars is an easy watch, pleasantly free of any expectations you may have from the great director. In any case, it’s in cinemas now and I liked it enough to write a review you can read here.
