Sentinel
2024
4.5/10
I was going thru Hulu and stumbled upon this one and watched it last night on the road. The trailer caught my eye.
The film is basically a mash-up of well known Sci-Fi classic films that have come out since the 1970s. While watching it you will immediately spot how they copied from a number of well known films.
The story actually played out ok, what kills it is the VFX/SFX which is on the level of a Sci-Fi channel film. If it had a Netflix budget, it might have been a better film along with getting actors who can actually act, the actors in this film are horrible. HaHa!!!
For the Gay Agenda tracker, there is a WW/WW lesbian sex scene, one of them is a SexBot.
Watch if you just need something to watch.
Synopsis
In 2155, through a multi-dimensional portal, an alien invasion annihilates nearly the entire human race. Some of the people who manage to survive are miners hidden on the dark side of the moon. Years after the invasion, and with the use of new technology, three soldiers are sent back to Earth. Their plan is to connect with the human resistance and end the occupation of the aliens. Upon arrival, our three heroes soon find themselves face to face with the all-powerful guardian of the portal known as the Sentinel and its army. Despite being completely outnumbered, the soldiers are determined to accomplish their mission at any cost and reclaim Earth.
