PLOT SYNOPSIS
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Last Days in the Desert<\/em><\/strong> follows Jesus (EWAN MCGREGOR) in an imagined chapter from his forty days of fasting and praying in the desert. During his time in the wilderness, he is faced with temptation from the Devil (MCGREGOR) over the fate of an ordinary family in crisis, setting for himself a dramatic test with distinctly human conflicts.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The movie is presented with a 2.40 anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio and although colors are drab as most of the movie does, surprisingly, takes place in the desert, it\u2019s not terrible looking. The Dolby Digital 5.1 track is satisfactory enough providing clear dialogue levels while depth is on the limited side.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Overall, Last Days in the Desert<\/em><\/strong> seems to be a passion project from all involved and anyone not interested in movies with a personal journey, as a fair portion McGregor treks through the desert, this might bore you. Still, Ewan McGregor does turn in a nice performance but otherwise it\u2019s a throwaway movie that I have no interest in seeing again. The DVD release offers average video\/audio and includes no bonus material.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
