Dominion

OK, the special effects were laugh-inducing and sometimes the acting was overboard, but I have seen many movies much worse. The story was interesting. The score was pretty good though it felt like the editor, director, and music weren't always on the same page. The acting was fine, though I feel like some of the characters may not have been cast well. I especially didn't like Jaelen, although the actor was fine. I would have liked a little more Jeff Bridges / Starman.

I didn't like the ending - cost the move a star or two in my rating. I did make it all the way to the end though.

All the 1 and 2 star reviews aren't making "sense" so I wanted to put my 2 "cents" in.

I want to believe... that the creators knew what an absolutely hilarious, outrageously funny thing they bestowed upon this planet. An interstellar alliance of good aliens that wants to save the Earth from bad aliens but can't because they suck, government conspiracies including sanctioned WTC and Oklahoma City bombings and artificial AIDS, NPC agents trying to stop the protagonists from spreading the truth despite knowing than the human race will literally go extinct in less than a week, Tim Burton's former muse Lisa Marie making an unnecessary cameo as another alien basically saying "Can't help hoomans, byeee".

It was refreshingly appaling, I don't even regret watching this motion picture. The only thing I regret is not having it watched with all my friends, we might've just as well go extinct from laugh and cringe and trying to come up with a reason for this to be written, filmed and released as a serious sci-fi thriller. Grab a six-pack, call your buddies and watch it, you'll have a ball, I mean it.

An interesting premise, some lovely cinematography and pretty decent acting, but it takes SO LONG for a scene to play out. I had to keep hitting the +10 seconds button on my remote.

Released in certain territories around the world in 2015, Dominion: The Last Star Warrior is a rough, raw and ridiculous sci-fi experience that at its core harbors an interesting idea but in inception delivers a tiresome and dialogue heavy offering that is anchored down by bargain bin worthy delivery and a convoluted plot that is far too high reaching for director Richard Lowry's 80 minute feature.

If I was being honest, Dominion is almost (and I mean really close to being) a so bad its good event but thanks to its inability to instil itself with any sort of energy or heart, Lowry's poorly executed effort becomes harder to bare as the runtime clicks ever so slowly onwards.

After an initially intriguing set-up, you feel like it's possible this could be a tolerable low-budget affair but after an extended opening credits period, Dominion starts to fall very quickly off the rails as its plot line becomes more apparent and increasingly tiresome.

Centring around Barry Lynch's retired US Intelligence agent turned UFO investigator Robert Casey and his dealings with Travis Hammer's Jaelen, a human-like being from another planet whose operating as an observer on our planet and tells Casey about the unfortunate impending doom of Earth in 5 days, Dominion does have the bare bones of a decent story but it's never allowed to grow in Lowry's poorly delivered and badly acted tale.

When you throw in a laughably bad love story between Jaelen and a women he fell in love with whilst on Earth and a bunch of other-worldly races and beings that we never really get to know much about, poor old Dominion never really stands a chance in a day and age where consumers expect a certain amount of quality control and performances with a pulse.

Final Say -

For the most tolerant and Sci-Fi obsessed movie goer Dominion may provide some type of entertainment for 80 minutes but for the rest of us, this shoddy and raw feature is an extremely tough viewing experience.

½ a long opening credits sequence out of 5

The only real negative for me is the completely inane title.. Whoever approved that should be fired.. Makes it sound like a cartoon, but it's way misleading.. 🙄 No doubt the low scores are coming from those expecting the typical Hollywood big explosion extravaganzas and special effects psychedelia so often tossed out for the mindless public.. This is a low budget, simple film that actually has something to say for those who can still think for themselves.. An utter surprise to see something like this actually be allowed in these ever restricting times.. The writer, director and producers should be proud of putting out something a little different from the norm.. There are little seeds strewn throughout that brought a smile and made this one worth remembering.. It's sad that so many will skip this because of the low scores, but it isn't a surprise as anything that questions establishment authority and hints at alternative awareness is so often stifled.. Read between the lines, forget the ignorant reviews.. This is way better than one would expect from a low budget, no name cast and crew.. It reminds me of Starman without the named stars.. If you can't find something to like here you aren't trying very hard.. haha I fully recommend this and hope those who need to see it will.. A really pleasant surprise..! Well done..! 🙏
