Sentinel

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.

Just the other day I saw a movie that was so bad, I gave it one star. At the time, I never would have guessed I'd see another terrible movie so soon. It's like the gods of cinema are punishing me for not turning off the TV and getting out of the house more often.

This was complete trash. Poor acting, writing, direction, sets, score, cinematography... You name it, and this film failed. Even Michael Pare couldn't raise this above 1 star, and he typically adds at least a little something to the many B-movies he's made. (Though this isn't even a B-movie, it's a Z-movie. No, it's a ZZZZZZ-movie.)

I won't go into specifics, but believe me, even if I did, I wouldn't have to mark this as "spoilers" because there is absolutely nothing I this film that I could spoil more than was already spoiled by the folks behind this trash.

Do NOT waste your time, please!!! I say this as a friend. True, I don't know you, but I'll temporarily become your friend just so I can warn you to stay away.

The spirit of the Sci-Fi channel is alive and well with this actually quite amusing yarn. Our planet has been invaded by a malevolent alien species but there might yet be some hope. Under the direction of the President (Michael Paré) three scientists hiding out on the moon are to go back through time and see if they can't circumvent the dastardly activities of the eponymous beastie. "Damon" (Jason R. Moore), "Robin" (Ellie Patrikios) and "Jarrod" (Neil Cole) are the intrepid gang upon whom the survival of our population depends. Oh well, that's us doomed then - these three actors are truly appalling as the story risibly unfolds like an early edition of "Dr. Who" that was involved in a car accident with "Stargate-SG1". To be fair, some of the visuals are not terrible and the beastie itself bears a slight resemblance to the "Predator", but the writing is woeful and the director has clearly concluded that it might be a scintilla more box-office if he keeps the cast (and their accents) as international as possible. Personally, I think that might just have served to annoy way more nations that it needed to as it plods along in an embarrassing fashion that gets you very quickly on the side of the guy in the rubber suit. If you thought "Wing Commander" (1999) was bad - well just you wait...

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.
