Justin Lin’s Last Days Movie: Based on a True Story

October 19, 2025 By Debra Pearlstein 21 Comments

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Review Wire Media for Vertical Entertainment.

Based on a true story, Justin Lin’s Last Days follows 26-year-old John Allen Chau’s journey to fulfill his life’s mission. He embarks on a dangerous adventure across the globe to share his faith with the isolated tribe of North Sentinel Island, while a detective from the Andaman Islands races to stop him before he does harm to himself or the tribe. PG-13

Starring: Sky Yang, Radhika Apte, Ken Leung

Directed by: Justin Lin

I found Last Days to be a deeply reflective and layered film. Director Justin Lin presents a complex portrait of John Chau, neither glorifying nor condemning him. While Chau’s mission may appear shortsighted or ill-conceived, the film reveals the passion and longing for purpose that drove him, a reminder of the humanity behind his choices.

The idea of a tribe completely untouched by the outside world is both fascinating and troubling. It raises questions about curiosity, faith, and the moral boundaries of exploration. For such communities to survive, they must be protected for their own safety and health as well as for ethical reasons.

At the same time, The Last Days offers a beautiful and intimate portrayal of Chau’s search for meaning. The cinematography is breathtaking, often feeling like a character in its own right. I appreciated this film for its quiet beauty and its nuanced approach to a difficult true story.

    I believe this movie will be inspirational to many – – it seems that it gives us a young person with goals and dreams, following his passion to explore and to be of service to others and that no matter what, he will stay the path. I also believe that because this movie is based on a true story, it will hit home with many.
