Ed Fortune Starburst The Last Scout is, alas, a bit of a lost cause. Leave the woggle at home and rewatch Silent Running instead. Rated: 3/10 Sep 13, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Fergus K It's a run of the mill space madness sci-fi horror with a couple of pretty girls. It does what it says on the tin, no more, no less. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review Barry P It was pretty good. Not earthshackingly good but deffo not a dud! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/02/24 Full Review a i Tubi Trash Reviews: This one is pretty good. Decent action. Some spacey sci-fi stuff like having to fix things and exploration. Not happy about the reliance on "Space Madness" to push the plot along. 99.99999% of the mission is over and people go crazy now? It had a beginning (even though it was an exposition dump delivered by a Morgan Freeman impersonator), a middle, and an end. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Good science fiction subject that could have been scripted in many ways. Acting fine. Waited till end to reach planet that had me wondering why focus on the space flight when potentially the plot had many alien planet interesting possibilities. Sad it was so wasted. Reasonable character development making audience emphasize with pleasant characters that director then used the person onboard, probably most like himself, to kill everyone else except the two kids as though only they deserved to live. Like dumb horror flicks where directors seem to revel in jerking juvenile audience emotions. The killer was a hateful angry terminally ill member that the director purposely chose to not provide a clear reason why he did so and instead just let the audience imagine reasons why he (like the director) was evil. Director also chose to wait till the last few minutes to expose the audience to who was doing the killing. In other words, the director was purposely interesting in making the audience feel bad in the worst way by waiting till the end when the audience had most hope of them reaching the new planet. Of course that seems to be a thing for numbers of incompetent low budget film directors that hate their situation in this world and seem to share that attitude with those that decide to fund and let them make such films. Good to see audience feedback is poorly rating this film that will send a message to producers. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member For those who love a great space battle a-la Star Wars, then you might be disappointed with The Last Scout, but for those who like a story put together with a very well made production for what I'm sure wasn't a massive budget, and a fun cast then you should check out The Last Scout. Whilst the plot might not be the most unique in the world and why on Earth (no pun intended) does every film have to have the most unique plot in film history It is a whole new film direction for the pairing of Paul Tanter and Simon Phillips, who both come from the roots of UK crime thrillers (Rise Of The White Collar Hooligan, He Who Dares) and now seem to have leapt into the atmosphere with this scifi fun ride. But the great news is that they know what they are doing and have done it well. Also great to see roles featuring Rebecca Ferdinando *Shank, White Collar Hooligan 1 & 2) , Petra Bryant ( Heretiks) in roles within this fun scifi tale. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member actualy a pretty good film for a small budget. visuals were well done. story was quite well written. worth a watch!!
