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?

Los Angeles Times

“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.

Ready Steady Cut

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

Rated: 2.5/5

Shadows on the Wall

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.

Rated: 3/5

Movies in Focus

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.

Rated: 1/5

Culture Mix

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.

Common Sense Media

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.

Rated: 3/5

The movie is just weird and I had to Google the point of it. This was hours of my life I'll never get back.

I liked it more than most of the critics here. The performances were all solid and the sets were really interesting.

I've seen some bad movies. But I can at least describe the plot of the movie afterwards. I don't even understand what was going on in this movie at all. I'm either an idiot or this movie is horrible.

This is a good movie! I picked this movie randomly one night and I was surprised to see that it is not accurate about the raising water aspect but it has a really interesting story.

A quiet character drama in the afternoon of humanity.

Slow paced near future dystopian thriller that is a welcome relief to the over produced mega budget cgi effects fests that seem to make up the majority of movies these days. Fascination and intelligent take on the future, well acted movie that asks as many questions as it answers. For those giving it poor reviews - you obviously don't "get it" so move on back to your marvel world. For everyone else, give it a watch.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
