"The Dog Stars," in theaters Friday, offers another variant on survivors of an apocalypse where the world and the other survivors are equal threats.

The post-apocalyptic sci-fi film starring Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, Margaret Qualley, Alison Janney, Benedict Wong and Guy Pearce hits theaters on Aug. 28.

Ridley Scott’s new film, “The Dog Stars,” explores humanity in a postapocalyptic world, says Associated Press critic Mark Kennedy.
