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.

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 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.

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...

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!
