Prompt: An epic cinematic ultra realistic action-movie poster designed in the same layered collage style as classic fantasy ensemble posters, blending emotional character composition, symbolic imagery, and large-scale action storytelling. At the center top is a massive close-up portrait of the main action hero’s face, partially shadowed, looking downward with intense emotion and determination. His wet messy hair falls across his forehead, and subtle battle scars and dirt marks cover his face. Warm golden light illuminates only parts of his face while the rest fades into darkness, creating a dramatic heroic aura. In the center foreground, the hero holds a glowing mysterious energy core / ancient artifact / high-tech device in both hands, radiating golden light outward like a sacred object. Around the glowing object are swirling energy symbols, floating particles, sparks, and circular glowing patterns inspired by mystical runes mixed with futuristic holographic interfaces. Surrounding the central figure in layered composition are the supporting characters: * a rugged ex-soldier with tactical gear and shotgun, * a wise older mentor in a long dark coat, * a deadly female assassin holding dual blades, * a masked villain with glowing red eyes, * elite military commandos, * a young hacker character, * mysterious cloaked warriors. All characters are positioned in cinematic side-profile arrangements like a premium blockbuster poster collage. The background features a gigantic world in chaos: * burning futuristic cities, * collapsing bridges, * helicopters flying through smoke, * explosions, * armored vehicles, * storm clouds, * fire and debris, * distant mountains and ruined temples. At the bottom of the poster is a dramatic landscape scene showing tiny human silhouettes traveling through a dangerous canyon toward a massive glowing fortress, giving the image a sense of scale and destiny. Color palette: warm gold, bronze, black shadows, cinematic orange firelight, smoky atmosphere, subtle teal highlights. Style: ultra detailed, emotional cinematic composition, painterly realism, fantasy-action hybrid, dramatic lighting, premium Hollywood poster design, highly textured faces, volumetric fog, glowing particles, layered depth, symmetrical composition, epic storytelling aesthetic, IMAX-quality, 8K masterpiece. Movie title at the bottom in huge metallic typography: “THE LAST RECKONING” Tagline: “EVERY LEGEND HAS A FINAL WAR.” Make the aspect ratio 3:4
