Last Sentinel Movie Reviews

Tedious

The title says it all. This movie drags on from one unclear moment to the next. After spending nearly two hours with it, I think it could have made an interesting short, not a feature length movie. To its credit and the actors’ credit, they were fully realized and animated people. Very good character development and done very early in the film. But to what purpose? There are movies that leave open questions that one can think about and were created to good effect. In this movie, it leaves too many open questions that one can’t resolve. In the end, I didn’t care about the characters, I didn’t care what they did or why they did it. The movie left me completely flat and disappointed I spent money and time to see it.

An interesting cross-genre drama

I have been following the development of this film for several years. I love films set in isolated areas that force the characters to confront unknown dangers.

While this film is set in the far off future of 2063, it’s not really a science fiction film.

What it is, is a character study of four military personnel overdue for relief by several months. Supplies (food mainly) are running low, the station situated in the middle of an ocean, is falling apart, and naturally tensions are high.

Then their relief boat is found drifting without power and crew, and that’s when everything really starts to hit the fan. I don’t wish to spoil any further details, so I’ll state simply that the character development really is well done. We start with four people and by the end feel for their plights and what happens to them. Each one shows growth and has a backstory that is (mostly) logical relevant for the movie. For what is effectively a “low budget” affair, it’s surprisingly well written, and directed. The cinematography is top notch (again, for a “B” film) and the actors are a good fit for their roles.

During my initial interest in the film, I had expected something along the lines of “Outpost” or “The Bunker”, military supernatural films. As more was revealed I thought it would be a mystery film. While there is some mystery, it’s more of a drama, and you know what? That was okay by me. I was pleasantly surprised.

8/10.

It’s decent

If you have seen enough movies then none of the “twists” or “reveals” really shock or surprise you. There are enough clues and context to figure all of them out.

Also, if you have seen enough movies then there are moments when it seems that the movie is going out of their way to make sure you absorbed some info. For example the opening on screen text tells us a bunch of facts and pretty much in the first scene the characters go over that very same information again. Or in another instance there is just enough meaningful looks to figure out what a character has done, but for some reason the move feels the need to state it out loud.

That being said, it is still an interesting thriller set in a closed location. And it provides some food for thought on following orders, survival etc.
