Sentinel

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.

"Sentinel 2024" is a train wreck from start to finish. What was marketed as a groundbreaking sci-fi epic is nothing more than a tedious, uninspired mess. The plot is a convoluted jumble of half-baked ideas and lazy writing. Instead of weaving a compelling narrative, the movie stumbles through a series of disjointed scenes that make little sense and leave the audience confused and bored.

The characters are so poorly written that it's hard to care about any of them. The protagonist is wooden and devoid of any charisma, making it impossible to root for their success. The supporting cast is equally terrible, with performances that range from over-the-top to utterly lifeless. It's as if the actors themselves were aware of how dreadful the script was and gave up trying.

Visually, the movie is an eyesore. The special effects look like they were pulled straight out of a low-budget TV show from the early 2000s. Instead of creating a believable futuristic world, the CGI is laughably bad and often distracts from whatever semblance of story there is.

The pacing is a disaster. The film drags endlessly with pointless scenes that add nothing to the plot, and by the time it reaches its climax (if you can call it that), any interest you might have had is long gone. The ending is rushed and unsatisfying, capping off an already miserable experience.

The dialogue is excruciatingly bad. Characters spout lines that are meant to be profound or witty but come off as cringe-inducing and nonsensical. The attempts at humor fall flat, and any attempts at drama are undermined by the sheer incompetence of the script.

"Sentinel 2024" is an unmitigated disaster. It's hard to imagine how anyone involved thought this would be a good movie. Do yourself a favor and avoid this film at all costs. It's not just a bad movie; it's an insult to the sci-fi genre and to anyone who had the misfortune of watching it.

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.

Where to begin this review.

I would like to start with a question. How did this train wreck of a film get financed? How is it that movies like this can get $ and get made?

Is it because you have relatives with too much money to spare, or contacts in the industry you can beg?

The acting was terrible, just over the top and beyond amateurish. Did not care about a single character and really was rooting for the aliens to finish them all off.

The CGI and special effects, I've seen grade 8 students do better on a laptop than this movie has.

Directing is where this movie shines, NOT!

How can you call yourself a director and even put your name to this mess. This movie is to be avoided at all costs, don't waste your time as I did mine watching then writing a review to spare others the pain of this project.

Very bad movie. Very very bad!

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.
