THE LAST SENTINEL
No emotion. No fear. No pain. They were the perfect soldiers to protect civilization--until the drone police became the perfect enemy. With little hope left for mankind, Tallis (Don "The Dragon" Wilson; Stealing Harvard, Batman Forever), an electronically enhanced soldier, rescues a rebel beauty (Katee Sackhoff, TV's Battlestar Galactica) from a failed resistance mission. A force to be reckoned with, she will learn to fight and think like a machine for the final battle to save the human race.
DVD Features include: Making the Movie Featurette, Director/Producer Commentary.

Summary: BAD JUST BAD
Comment: I got this movie because of the description on the back. Thought that if I could watch a Dolph Lungren movie, I can watch this. I was wrong on many levels. Firstly, the acting was even worse than Dolph has ever been. Second, the storyline didn't make any sense, like they cut out parts of the movie that were real important for understanding. The picture quality was of an old vhs quality. The fight scenes were the worst I have ever seen (and I have watched some bad movies). I would rather have watched grass grow or paint dry than go through this movie again. The only reasons I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 is because it is a cheap blu-ray movie and someone will hopefully like it.

Summary: Ok movie but not very original.
Comment: This movie is like sp many others about a world where robots have taken over the world and a few brave freedomfigthers are left to try to fend them of, yadda yadda ya. We have seen it all before. But the movie is fun, the concept of talking, intelligent weapons is interesting especially for pepole that like this AI. The acting is ok. In short it is a ok sifi movie that will entertain for the time it runs, but that are completely forgettable and fail to stand out among the rest.

Summary: Don't waist your money
Comment: The ONLY and I mean ONLY reason to watch this movie would be for Katee Sackhoff; who is not even the star of the movie as the movie cover would have you to believe. I believe the producers are attempting to play on her popularity in Battlestar Galactica. The story line is absolutely terrible unbelievable and laughable (especially when they try to pass off a 1980's IBM computer as the latest in high tech electronic equipment, yes they still have the old green and black screens). DO NOT waist your money on this. I'm sure at some point the Sci-fi channel will re-run this movie and if you must watch it (again for Katee Sackhoff) then do so. I have no idea why this was put to blue ray before even BSG was.

Summary: Not-bluray quality
Comment: Bought it as a cheap bluray but it looks more like a mediocre DVD than a Bluray dick.
And the story isnt great either.

Summary: Sci-fi boredom
Comment: The Last Sentinel (which originally debuted on the Sci-Fi channel) is another run-of-the-mil post-apocalyptic action flick, which places too much emphasis on flimsy action sequences & cheap thrills and little elsewhere. Muddy cinematography (apparent poor lighting on sets, which not even the editing could conceal), bad acting and horrific choreography (writer/director Jesse Johnson, whose done stunt work on such films as Beowulf, MI3 and T3 should be ashamed). In fact, the best fight sequence in the entire movie is the final showdown at the end of the film (which isn't saying much at all). Mainly due to that fact that it doesn't consist of a guns blazing shooting spree like all of it's other battles.
Don "The Dragon" Wilson (the movie's protagonist) muffs his lines throughout the majority of the film. He looks bored and expressionless, as if he cannot wait for the filming to be over (who can blame him?). The character development between Wilson's character (Tallis) and Katee Sackhoff's (whose character's name just so happens to be named "Girl," how original) is poorly conceived. It's far too overtly contrived to be taken remotely seriously. Very little comes out of it.
Speaking of little, very little comes out of the film. Everything done in this film has been done a gazillion times before, and quite frankly, the movie isn't even that entertaining. The story and characters are entirely forgettable. They were just doomed from the beginning. Not even Keith David's appearance could save it (the movie).
There are so many great sci-fi action flicks out there that should never have to settle for The Last Sentinel (it's quite baffling how a film of this calibre gets a Blu Ray release). So, do yourself a favor and skip over this one. Wilson fans at least expecting some action on par with his Bloodfist films, may want to steer clear as well. As they will be left woefully disappointed.
This would have scored a star had Katee Sackhoff not been pleasing on the eyes. Might I add, she's not the main star of the film like the dvd cover attempts to have one believe.
