The Japan-fastest IMAX premiere of Ridley Scott's Last Survivor brought Rhymester Utamaru, freelance announcer Ugaki Mirie, and music and film personality Okuhama Reira to the stage for a talk show after the screening. Utamaru opened with high praise, calling the film really interesting, and focused on the contrast between calm, pastoral scenes and intense action sequences.
