Kindness can be found in the most humble of places.

As panic and terror set in, it’s heart-warming to see that humanity perseveres and Elena and Sam find some compassion in the chaos that surrounds the border controls at Calais.

Reeling from attacks, all the key players are running scared. That thing that the audience clocked last time? The loss is discovered, leading to a predictable side-quest… how fortunate that, in a blacked-out town, the pharmacy sign is still flashing brightly. While we’re at it, if the port has is suffering a power outage, how come all the lights are still on at the border gates? How come all the most important vehicles are full of uncontaminated fuel?

I still feel as if I’m being clunked over the head with the moral and environmental messages, although it is good to get more of an insight into the group responsible. The obviousness of the way in which much of the narrative plays out is marring my enjoyment, despite some surprising moments.

That mutual mistrust between Mika and Andy seems to have been right on the money as bribery, double-crossing and secrets are revealed.

Verdict: The good, the bad and the clunky of humanity and Last Light endures.
