What The Last Breath Trailer Means For The Movie
The Documentary Is Dramatized In Thrilling Fashion
Last Breathis based on the documentary of the same name which was released to rave reviews in 2019, praising it as intense, gripping, and emotionally charged. However, some mixed reviews compared the film unfavorably to similar survival documentaries such asTouching the Void, which follows two mountain climbers' ascent and near-fatal descent from the Siula Grande mountains. Though it appears to be heart-pounding,the upcoming dramatization ofLast Breathshould also struggle with its similarities to other sea-based survival thrillers, such asOpen Water,which is also based on a true story.
10 Survival Movies Based On Thrilling True Stories
Some of the greatest thrillers ever made were actually based on harrowing reality.
LikeLast Breath, the 2012 Icelandic filmThe Deepis also based on a true story and portrays a lone survivor’s fight for survival in unforgiving waters. Each film, including Open Water, depicts the terrifying isolation of being stranded at sea and emphasizes the primal fear of the vastness of the ocean. However,Last Breathshould set itself apart by focusing on deep-sea diving, plunging into the pitch-black depths of the ocean floor, introducing the element of limited oxygen and a race against time.

It’s Also A Story About Teamwork & Ingenuity
Last Breath, based on an extraordinary true story, appears to be a heart-pounding survival thriller. However, the film’s main focus is a rescue mission, so while delivering all the edge-of-your-seat suspense and claustrophobic intensity that one would expect,Last Breathalso promises to be an electrifying story about the power of teamwork, resilience, and human ingenuity in the face of impossible odds. While the end result may be predictable,Last Breathshould hopefully offer a thrilling journey on the way there.
