Set in the near future, unchecked and rampant climate change has caused temperatures and sea levels to rise catastrophically. Only two large continents remain, and billions die during the mass migration to these higher lands. Surrounded by an endless ocean thousands of miles from home, a skeleton crew of soldiers (Bosworth, Kretschmann, Laviscount, and McCann) stand as the last bastion, defending their homeland from an invasion by an enemy they have never seen, monitoring for signs of attack and prepared to sacrifice themselves for the cause. Their tour of duty ended 3 months ago with no relief in sight. Alone and uncertain as to what fate awaits them, the simmering tension amongst the crew escalates when a mysterious boat drifts into range -- is it the help they have been waiting for, or something far more sinister?

“Last Sentinel” is more geared toward delivering a message about humanity’s bent toward paranoia and self-destruction than in producing any tension or thrills. It’s a very heavy film — really too heavy to move.

The Last Sentinel squanders its gripping storytelling for a spineless finale.

3/5

The simple premise is elevated by strong filmmaking and an engaging cast, while an understated, often enigmatic storytelling approach keeps us intrigued even if concrete details are naggingly elusive.

In a world filled with a never-ending stream of films and TV shows, you should do yourself a favour and decide to watch something (anything) other than Last Sentinel.

Last Sentinel is a dreary slog of a movie about four quarreling military people stranded on an outpost in the ocean. This lackluster drama has a thin plot that gets dragged out and tangled up in a lot of nonsense.

3/5

Small in budget but large in ambition, this futuristic, single-space thriller has a few bugs, but it also has interesting characters, a few intriguing twists, and a great setting.

Couldn't last past the 1st hour. Tedious plot, long drawn out scenes, not even worth a meh

A slow burn pile of rubbish that starts out, trips over itself and falls face first into the mud barely making it from the start line.

Don't waste your time on this movie. You'll get more frustrated of all the plot holes.

Could be better. Great setting but really confusing. What are the motives of all those ppl? Only the main character is clear. Spoiler: So many plot hole. Why communication did not work? Why the ship follow the beacon? The sergeant is strict to follow the rule but broke many rules.

Tense and atmospheric dystopian drama with some good plot twists. Great acting kept it believable. If you like high action & lots of big bangs probably not the one for you. If you enjoy more psychologically intense drama then would definitely recommend this.
