In my opinion, those who give positive reviews to "The Last Wave" confuse the film's intentions with the actual results. Sure, the script is full of intriguing, occult and apocalyptic ideas, but it lacks coherence and never bothers to explain what's going on. That would be fine, if we could at least SEE clearly the images onscreen. But even that is often impossible, because this movie is SO visually murky. Dramatically, it's cold, uninvolving and badly paced; the tension never gets going and the central hero is hard to identify with. The film has a great last shot, but until then it's just plain DULL, as even Weir fans should admit.
