Last Things

About This Movie

So, 'Last Things' is a fascinating documentary that takes a unique angle on evolution and extinction, all through the lens of rocks. It’s not your typical nature doc; it blends sci-fi and real-life science in this really humid atmosphere. The pacing is contemplative, almost meditative at times, which works well given the weight of the themes. You feel the slow, grinding passage of time, like the geological processes it describes. The practical effects, if you can call them that, are in how they present the minerals—like they almost come to life. It's a rare gem that nudges you to think about existence from a geological perspective, maybe even making you see the world a bit differently.
