Sentinel: Die Invasion

I have a REALLY low bar for poor films. This one slipped under it with a lot of room to spare.

First of all, the plot was unfathomable. If a highly advanced civilization of aliens conquered earth, wouldn't they, I dunno, take a peak at the moon to see if there were any hairless apes hanging on up there? Not to mention how the moon seems to have the same gravity as earth.

Next the acting. Abysmal. I have nothing to add except, et tu Michael Pare?

Now the production values. The camera movements, cut away, and other shots were reminiscent of a 1970s television show. From Bulgaria.

The special effects made me laugh out loud. Explosions looked like a a child used a yellow highlighter on 8mm film stock. Worst of all was the evil Sentinel. It's as if they realized the budget was shot so they ran down to Spirit Halloween store and put the head from an Alien on the body of a Creature From The Black Lagoon costume.

My only wish is that MST3000 was still around for this one.

For all that is holy, someone must stop the sequel.

Within 2 minutes I could tell this film was gonna be bad. I was not disappointed. 45 minutes later the accumulation of bad was so much that I just stopped watching, and I almost never don't finish a movie. The special effects were bad, the science was bad, the acting was bad, the decisions were bad, it was all just one big bag of bad. I read the other reviews on here and some of them brought up a point that I was thinking - it's pretty obvious this was some kids school movie project. There's no way a serious movie company would have produced this. How in the world it ended up on Hulu like it was a real movie I'll never know, someone had to have bribed someone to get it on there.

I don't even know where to begin reviewing this dreck. There's really no story here, just a bunch of illogical, poorly written, poorly acted disjointed scenes filled with gibberish dialog. If I didn't know better, I would wager this was written by some sixth graders as a joint class assignment. This film was literally all over the place. It's like it couldn't even decide what genre of filmmaking to which it wanted to belong. It's part sci-fi, part zombie apocalypse, part horror, part drama, part action flick and part comedy (although the comical parts I sure weren't written to be funny) and sadly, it FAILS miserably in every category. I really tried to give it a chance but after suffering through almost exactly half of this train wreck I just had to turn it off.

Perhaps the worse movie I watched this year, to be honest for sure the worse. It's really painful, bad script hollow characters awful interpretation. The firsts 25 minutes is maybe the worse...the development of the story is slowly and definitely boring, the alien seems no cleaver enough to conquest the planet and the solution they presented really weak...and the end? The conclusion you don't get humour, drama, sci-fi...nothing. I am not sure how much was spent do film it but for sure a completely wast of money. After watch I was so disappointed...this is the only reason I am writing this review.

Within the first five minutes of watching this movie, it becomes painfully clear that it is a subpar production. As it progressed, it only continued to deteriorate. The writing is especially problematic; it's cheesy, incoherent, and feels as though it could have been generated by ChatGPT. The acting does little to redeem the script, often coming across as forced and unconvincing. Moreover, the production quality is shockingly poor, with special effects that look less convincing than those seen in many TikTok videos. The graphics are particularly disappointing, adding to the overall sense that the film was hastily and carelessly put together. In every aspect-from the storyline to the technical execution-this movie fails to meet even the most basic standards of filmmaking, making it a frustrating and unenjoyable viewing experience.
