When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

I am actually watching this film right now on syfy, was a little dubious at first, we have so much in the way as low budget features being created at an independent level, I feel this film does deserve some credit.The sets, some of them at least are brilliant, would not say no to having access to some of those myself. Directing, well, I say this as a film director myself, I learn all the time, both manually and technically.Story though, I feel this could have been developed much better, like the characters, they need development through the film as they become introduced to the audiences, personally, I feel this wasn't done to much effect.On a technical note, my only issue was the poor lighting scenes and the grainy picture, this is a problem with many low budget films and a lack of ability to light appropriately, it doesn't happen in every dark scene thankfully and I have seen worse grain on other films when in confined, dark spaces (Wolf Creek, a good film, let down by this technical issue), my only other little issue is with some of the effects, it's 50/50, some are orchestrated brilliantly, others are more 'what the hell was that?', but it's much cheaper to create and exploding head in edit than it is on the set I guess.So I rated it 6, it could have had some great potential, but hey, it got a sale and since I am in the same industry right now of low budget features have the utmost respect for those who made this film

In a futuristic setting automated drones which were initially created to help humans have rebelled and are now attempting to destroy all of mankind. The only chance available to the human race are electronically enhanced soldiers who are patched into the computerized rifle they carry with an eye cap implant. The computerization is so advanced that it becomes a part of the soldier and communicates verbally with him. However, the drones are even more advanced and after several hard-fought battles only one soldier by the name of "Tallis" (Don Wilson) is left alive. As luck would have it though he manages to rescue an injured woman (played by Katee Sackhoff) who belongs to a "para-military" group desperately attempting to destroy a drone communication center. Although she is nowhere near as capable as Tallis she at least gives him a long-lost sense of purpose and they soon team up to fight the numerically superior drone army by themselves. Anyway, rather than detail any more of the film and possibly spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it I will just say that while there was plenty of action it could have been much better if it had had a better script. Be that as it may, those who enjoy apocalyptic sci-fi films might find something to like but even so it's still not a top-of-the-line movie by any means. That said I have to rate it as slightly below average.

I do have to agree with the previous commentators that The Last Sentinal was a bad movie. Is it completely irredeemable? No, the movie does start off decently, Katee Sackhoff is very sexy and her shower scene is the highlight of the film and Keith David makes the most of a role that could have been much more. Unfortunately, The Last Sentinal is a low-budget movie and it really does show with the camera work and editing all over the place. The music is generic with nothing memorable sticking out, while the sound effects frequently overbears everything. Apart from Sackhoff and David, the acting is very flat, and that is including Don Wilson, whose acting consists of lumbering round with one scowling facial expression. They are not helped by their bland cardboard-cutout characters that have no development to them whatsoever and they are often made to look stupid especially the Drone Police. The dialogue is an overload of cheese and triteness, while the action and martial arts sequences were unimaginative with no sense of life, playing too much like a cheap video-game at times, and the pace was dull. The storytelling is full of genre clichés, and is little more than lazy and derivative and an excuse to string action-sequences together. Overall, derivative, dull and cheaply made, not without redeeming qualities but a bad movie and not recommended. 3/10 Bethany Cox
