...studio and a consultant named Arthur, who seems to log quite a few hours in and around the studio. But otherwise, the young engineers must go it alone.Martinez and his group faced a formidable task: Recreate with man-made materials a vicious scorpion’s tail on a grander scale—and affix the giant hinged metal contraption atop a dune buggy. The result is something out of Real World/Road Rules Challenge, with the scorpion-tail dune buggy chasing around smaller dune buggies in the “kill zone” in an attempt...

They find, at last, one survivor, Lista (Laryssa Lauret), who is also a collector but on a grander scale than Jonathan can imagine. Her aim is to keep alive the memory of the entire wiped-out village by hoarding its detritus. There is, as it turns out, one other survivor, whose identity should probably not be revealed here. Alas, the tragic dimensions of Everything Is Illuminated do not quite...
