The Last Sentinel

While I appreciate those who have decided how I should vote this movie, I prefer to set my own score. I guess I'm the only one who didn't watch this because of Katee Sackoff. I didn't know she was in it until she showed up. Who doesn't like to watch human killing drones getting mowed down by the dozen? Too much action in an action movie? Pah! Give me tons of robot slaughter and explosions. I would have liked to see more of Bokeem Woodbine's Anchilles. He had style. Katee 'The Girl' Sackoff was good too. Keith David's voice of the gun and mad Colonel Norton added a lot to this movie. Don Wilson, alas, was the weakest link. Norton and Anchilles were EEs too but they showed some personality. Not so with Tallis. I guess you could say that being the last of the best put him in a bad mood. I attribute it to bad acting or not acting really. No matter, he takes out drones and I like that. This is a low budget movie and it shows. It's so low budget the director blew up one of his own cars in it. (The BMW that the resistance van crashes into.) It's mostly about blowing away drones because the storyline is simple. Drones take over the planet. Last hero has to take it back by destroying the drone control room. Easy. Should take about 10 minutes so drone slaughter has to take up the rest of the time. They could have used some of the time for back story, like how the drones took over, but they didn't. The brief snippets of drone propaganda don't tell you enough. I assume drones were invented to augment the police and were gradually given more and more responsibility until they replaced human police all together. Then, after it's too late, the humans change their mind and try to get rid of the drones. But the drones like being in charge and fight back. I don't know, it's not explained. But I like it well enough. 6/10

This may be an alright title.... for an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. It's lower quality than a "B" movie. Don't waste your time or even consider watching it unless you're drunk or high and have a bunch of friends over. Even then, they'll probably shoot you. I hope the director was using a pseudo-name and not his real name: nobody should want credit for this movie! Minesweeper is more entertaining. Please, think of your brain cells. The plot may be summarized in 2 lines: Shooting spree to kill a cyborg army that looks like a bunch of stormtroopers. There's a cheesy "love twist" (if you can call it that) and lame attempts at script. It would have been better as a silent movie. The special effects are blatantly obvious and it's just one big excuse for making 90 minutes of firing guns.

This is probably one of the best movies I've ever seen, if you like post apocalypse movies then you will love this movie, it reminds me of fallout 3 a lot too, so if you like fallout you'd like this. It does get a little boring when they keep going back and forth from Thebes(were the drones are motsly highly located) but it is cool to see the AI gun kill everything in range. There should definitely be a sequel, but I don't think they'll make one. But overall, 10/10

Where do I start - movie started with an interesting monologue that made me think its actually worth watching. But everything later was one disappointment after another. For starters, action scenes are too long and repetitive. It seems like they tried to fill the void with guys in black rubber suits and blue goggles marching and some horror music playing in the background... oooooh, so frightening! There are lots of (long) shooting scenes where super-soldiers were too dumb to take cover but instead stood still in plain sight - no wonder they got slaughtered. Most of the movie is in ruins with the girl and hero guy and very few other actors, lot of survivalist crap one-liners, absolutely predictable plot and cardboard characters. Storyline is very weak, seems it was either written for a 12-year-old or by a 12-year-old, its hard to tell which is it. And I only gave it a three (and watched the whole thing) because of Katee Sackhoff aka Starbuck, because I like BSG series a lot and respect the actors there - this movie is total and utter nonsense that deserves subzero ratings.

From the bad flak on IMDb this movie is getting I was expecting something completely different, production values high, awesome musical score and really fun action. This is obviously not huge budget, but who cares, the film feels energetic and exciting. I do not know Kate Sackhoffs work on BSG, there seemed an exuberance and excitement to this movie that I really liked regardless of it's budget short comings. It was quite obviously supposed to be comic book in nature and to that end it succeeded very well. As Sci Fi style movies about a future Earth over-run by drone cyborgs this film was a really fun contender. Again, I've read some print reviews that enjoyed the film, and I enjoyed it immensely, I recommend to fans of action or sci-fi, without reservations or concerns. I enjoyed the development of the 700th super troopers, the story behind their creation, and their ultimate demise, I enjoyed the artificial intelligence rifle scope, I though it was cool. This is a very violent movie and maybe that is the problem for a lot of people, peoples heads are blown off, eyes hacked out and humans torn to pieces, personally I like that stuff.

For some reason I thought going into this that this was a new mini-series on SciFi for Katee Sackholm since Battlestar is supposedly closing up shop after the next season. I probably don't need to tell you that I was wrong, but boy am I glad I was. This was such a terrible movie on so many levels. First, there is absolutely no character development - None! Seriously! And, of course, that doesn't keep the two main characters from having sex, 'cause, well, that's what a guy and a girl in a super low budget awful film do. Add to the lack of character development the completely re-hashed plot idea (robots take over the world - Terminator, The Matrix, and hundreds of other films) and the unbelievably undeveloped story line and you get a terrible, terrible film. As I was watching it I kept looking to my wife and saying, "And this is what happens when you shoot a movie without an actual script. You see, you just set up a whole bunch of fight sequences and then say action and film." I've never been in the military and I could have given the film more realistic guidance on how soldiers behave in war. Rarely do I sit and hope for a film to end, but I did with this one. Sci-Fi should funnel its money into the programs it cares about - its series, not these ridiculous, written-by-monkeys, movies.
