The Last Celestial

The Last Omnihuman is a 2028 American computer-animated science fantasy action comedy film produced by Illumination and distributed by Universal Pictures. It was written and directed by Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio and stars Miya Cech, Kimiko Glenn, Quvenzhané Wallis, Jacob Tremblay, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bryan Cranston, Daniel Kaluuya, Rami Malek, Kumail Nanjiani, Tom Felton, Martin Henderson and Cate Blanchett. The film follows a Japanese-American young woman with multiple abilities prophesized as the last Omnihuman must join other superhumans to end a thousand-year war against the Zrelinians, a shapeshifting reptilian species manipulating people to consume, breed, and conform to the status quo via subliminal messages in mass media as the ruling class. The film received universal acclaim for its animation, visuals, art direction, craftsmanship, voice acting, concept, story, screenplay, characters, themes, social commentary, humor, musical score, action sequences and the darker and mature tone compared to Illumination's previous projects. The film was also a commercial success, grossing $1.2 billion at the box office on a production budget of $250 million. The film won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, making it the eleventh non-Disney/Pixar film to win the award, including Best Original Score, Best Original Song, Best Sound, Best Cinematography and Best Actress, making Cech the second youngest Best Actress winner and the first person to ever win an Academy Award for a voice-over performance along with three Academy Award nominations including Best Original Screenplay, Best Picture becoming the sixth animated film to be nominated in that category and Best Visual Effects becoming the third animated film following 1993's The Nightmare Before Christmas and 2016's Kubo and the Two Strings. The film's success led to two feature film sequels being released, Beyond Earth in 2031 and Universe in 2034 which were also written and directed by Paul and Daurio.
