Well... I am 50 minutes into watching this 'movie' and thought I would just write my take on this movie.... because typing this is more entertaining!!!! DO NOT listen to the couple reviews that say this is a good movie, because it is NOT.

Like others have said, 'is this movie a school project'?? While watching it, the plot is kinda non existent, it jumps from scene to scene and its just soooo corny. Some of the time, they are just standing in front of a green screen and its so amateurish. Other times they are just using empty basements or other facilities and its just so bad.

If you wanna spend 90 minutes to see what a BAD movie looks like, go for it.... but don't say I didn't warn you.... there are just so many other movies to spend your time on.

I don't even know where to begin reviewing this dreck. There's really no story here, just a bunch of illogical, poorly written, poorly acted disjointed scenes filled with gibberish dialog. If I didn't know better, I would wager this was written by some sixth graders as a joint class assignment. This film was literally all over the place. It's like it couldn't even decide what genre of filmmaking to which it wanted to belong. It's part sci-fi, part zombie apocalypse, part horror, part drama, part action flick and part comedy (although the comical parts I sure weren't written to be funny) and sadly, it FAILS miserably in every category. I really tried to give it a chance but after suffering through almost exactly half of this train wreck I just had to turn it off.

I have a REALLY low bar for poor films. This one slipped under it with a lot of room to spare.

First of all, the plot was unfathomable. If a highly advanced civilization of aliens conquered earth, wouldn't they, I dunno, take a peak at the moon to see if there were any hairless apes hanging on up there? Not to mention how the moon seems to have the same gravity as earth.

Next the acting. Abysmal. I have nothing to add except, et tu Michael Pare?

Now the production values. The camera movements, cut away, and other shots were reminiscent of a 1970s television show. From Bulgaria.

The special effects made me laugh out loud. Explosions looked like a a child used a yellow highlighter on 8mm film stock. Worst of all was the evil Sentinel. It's as if they realized the budget was shot so they ran down to Spirit Halloween store and put the head from an Alien on the body of a Creature From The Black Lagoon costume.

My only wish is that MST3000 was still around for this one.

For all that is holy, someone must stop the sequel.

Within the first five minutes of watching this movie, it becomes painfully clear that it is a subpar production. As it progressed, it only continued to deteriorate. The writing is especially problematic; it's cheesy, incoherent, and feels as though it could have been generated by ChatGPT. The acting does little to redeem the script, often coming across as forced and unconvincing. Moreover, the production quality is shockingly poor, with special effects that look less convincing than those seen in many TikTok videos. The graphics are particularly disappointing, adding to the overall sense that the film was hastily and carelessly put together. In every aspect-from the storyline to the technical execution-this movie fails to meet even the most basic standards of filmmaking, making it a frustrating and unenjoyable viewing experience.

Just the other day I saw a movie that was so bad, I gave it one star. At the time, I never would have guessed I'd see another terrible movie so soon. It's like the gods of cinema are punishing me for not turning off the TV and getting out of the house more often.

This was complete trash. Poor acting, writing, direction, sets, score, cinematography... You name it, and this film failed. Even Michael Pare couldn't raise this above 1 star, and he typically adds at least a little something to the many B-movies he's made. (Though this isn't even a B-movie, it's a Z-movie. No, it's a ZZZZZZ-movie.)

I won't go into specifics, but believe me, even if I did, I wouldn't have to mark this as "spoilers" because there is absolutely nothing I this film that I could spoil more than was already spoiled by the folks behind this trash.

Do NOT waste your time, please!!! I say this as a friend. True, I don't know you, but I'll temporarily become your friend just so I can warn you to stay away.

Within 2 minutes I could tell this film was gonna be bad. I was not disappointed. 45 minutes later the accumulation of bad was so much that I just stopped watching, and I almost never don't finish a movie. The special effects were bad, the science was bad, the acting was bad, the decisions were bad, it was all just one big bag of bad. I read the other reviews on here and some of them brought up a point that I was thinking - it's pretty obvious this was some kids school movie project. There's no way a serious movie company would have produced this. How in the world it ended up on Hulu like it was a real movie I'll never know, someone had to have bribed someone to get it on there.

Perhaps the worse movie I watched this year, to be honest for sure the worse. It's really painful, bad script hollow characters awful interpretation. The firsts 25 minutes is maybe the worse...the development of the story is slowly and definitely boring, the alien seems no cleaver enough to conquest the planet and the solution they presented really weak...and the end? The conclusion you don't get humour, drama, sci-fi...nothing. I am not sure how much was spent do film it but for sure a completely wast of money. After watch I was so disappointed...this is the only reason I am writing this review.

This movie is somehow so bad it's good. It what I had hoped Madam Web would be - hilarious to watch. The writing? Hilarious. The acting? Hilarious. Naming the AI "Bebop?" Hilarious!! The motorcycle? Well that's actually pretty badass. It's seriously better than Zach Snyder's Rebel Moons which somehow had the same quality of acting and writing. The pacing is quick, the villain is scary (and yet hilarious), the skeleton props that were clearly purchased from a Spirit Halloween Store are so funny. I actually care about the characters, or maybe I'm just hoping the actors in their real lives are doing ok. This movie deserves an award. Just go into it knowing it's bad and watch it already!

"Sentinel 2024" is a train wreck from start to finish. What was marketed as a groundbreaking sci-fi epic is nothing more than a tedious, uninspired mess. The plot is a convoluted jumble of half-baked ideas and lazy writing. Instead of weaving a compelling narrative, the movie stumbles through a series of disjointed scenes that make little sense and leave the audience confused and bored.

The characters are so poorly written that it's hard to care about any of them. The protagonist is wooden and devoid of any charisma, making it impossible to root for their success. The supporting cast is equally terrible, with performances that range from over-the-top to utterly lifeless. It's as if the actors themselves were aware of how dreadful the script was and gave up trying.

Visually, the movie is an eyesore. The special effects look like they were pulled straight out of a low-budget TV show from the early 2000s. Instead of creating a believable futuristic world, the CGI is laughably bad and often distracts from whatever semblance of story there is.

The pacing is a disaster. The film drags endlessly with pointless scenes that add nothing to the plot, and by the time it reaches its climax (if you can call it that), any interest you might have had is long gone. The ending is rushed and unsatisfying, capping off an already miserable experience.

The dialogue is excruciatingly bad. Characters spout lines that are meant to be profound or witty but come off as cringe-inducing and nonsensical. The attempts at humor fall flat, and any attempts at drama are undermined by the sheer incompetence of the script.

"Sentinel 2024" is an unmitigated disaster. It's hard to imagine how anyone involved thought this would be a good movie. Do yourself a favor and avoid this film at all costs. It's not just a bad movie; it's an insult to the sci-fi genre and to anyone who had the misfortune of watching it.

Where to begin this review.

I would like to start with a question. How did this train wreck of a film get financed? How is it that movies like this can get $ and get made?

Is it because you have relatives with too much money to spare, or contacts in the industry you can beg?

The acting was terrible, just over the top and beyond amateurish. Did not care about a single character and really was rooting for the aliens to finish them all off.

The CGI and special effects, I've seen grade 8 students do better on a laptop than this movie has.

Directing is where this movie shines, NOT!

How can you call yourself a director and even put your name to this mess. This movie is to be avoided at all costs, don't waste your time as I did mine watching then writing a review to spare others the pain of this project.

Very bad movie. Very very bad!

The spirit of the Sci-Fi channel is alive and well with this actually quite amusing yarn. Our planet has been invaded by a malevolent alien species but there might yet be some hope. Under the direction of the President (Michael Paré) three scientists hiding out on the moon are to go back through time and see if they can't circumvent the dastardly activities of the eponymous beastie. "Damon" (Jason R. Moore), "Robin" (Ellie Patrikios) and "Jarrod" (Neil Cole) are the intrepid gang upon whom the survival of our population depends. Oh well, that's us doomed then - these three actors are truly appalling as the story risibly unfolds like an early edition of "Dr. Who" that was involved in a car accident with "Stargate-SG1". To be fair, some of the visuals are not terrible and the beastie itself bears a slight resemblance to the "Predator", but the writing is woeful and the director has clearly concluded that it might be a scintilla more box-office if he keeps the cast (and their accents) as international as possible. Personally, I think that might just have served to annoy way more nations that it needed to as it plods along in an embarrassing fashion that gets you very quickly on the side of the guy in the rubber suit. If you thought "Wing Commander" (1999) was bad - well just you wait...

I saw this in the theater during what I'm assuming was its minimal theatrical run and had an absolute blast w this flick.

This is like a modern rendition of what the Italian genre film industry was doing in the 80's when they were shamelessly ripping off American film production hits like Alien, Conan, and Terminator.

Hats off to the filmmaking team behind this one to bring something like this into the modern cinematic realm.

So much bat-shiz crazy things are happening from one scene to the next. Things that I couldn't even fathom. And I was just wondering how it even made sense. Absolute brilliance!

By the end of the film I was literally applauding.

Technically, this merits a higher rating. The photography, the sound, the compositing are all very good, as though everyone was at the top of their class.

There is no chemistry between the actors and they seem to be reading the lines as though they just learned them.

There didn't seem to be one writer. The whole film seems to be "Oh, yeah, that'd be cool." "Hey, can we?" "What if we?" "Oh, that's a great idea."

I have seen stories on YouTube with 3 people that have more depth and better continuity.

Obviously, the people behind the scenes who worked on technical aspects really understood how to get things done.

The best thing about the film was that it ended.

I already got the feeling this was going to be bad by the opening scene. But then, the editor in me saw something unforgivable. After the opening scene it cuts to black and then the words "40 years later" appear and then it goes into an extremely long title and credit sequence with stock After Effects graphics from Envato Elements or something.

Here's what should have happened: Opening scene Cut to black Do your awful and extremely long title and credit sequence Cut to black "40 years later" Fade in to a scene with actors who are the people we are expecting to see 40 years later.

They broke up the flow by putting the title sequence in the wrong place. 40 years later a title sequence? No 40 years later people doing stuff... like a ridiculous sex scene.

There of a lot of movies of this style, which is a style I have come to detest, but this is among the worst. I think I saw somewhere this was referred to as an Italian ripoff, but I'm not sure what that would have to do with the quality. It's just a really bad cast, bad acting, bad story and I think there must be a computer program somewhere that generates the cartoons that masquerade as sets in this film. There's hardly anything positive to say about it. Bush league at best. I've seen Michael Pare in other movies where he was at least watchable, but he should be embarrassed at even appearing in this trash. Very bad movie.

I am normally fair and watch the film in its entirety but if you see an apple is rotten, I don't have to chomp through it to test my theory. The opening scene is so bad that my brain simply won't allow itself to be bombarded with this junk. I am amazed that you even put your spoiler alert on because honestly you couldn't spoil this stinker even if you knew how it ends, it wouldn't matter and you wouldn't care just that it ended your torment. I have seen some really bad films in my time this one is going right up there with Battefield Earth (2000), Howard the Duck, Masters of the Universe and the Wicker Man (2006) to name but a few and let's not forget The Conqueror where John Wayne played Genghis Khan. There are plenty out there and I know even as I type things keep popping in my head. So I will force myself to stop. Golden Child whoops I can't stop.

There's the obligatory hawt girl-on-girl action. Or was it girl on android? Who knows? There's a hologram of a stripper in the hallway of the secret moon military base, because how could we skip that? There are dramatic close-ups of people walking down a hallway carrying guns. There's the "acting." There's the "directing." There's time travel. There's a plucky team of intrepid heroes saving the world. There are mutant zombies. There's a hero monologue when all seems lost. There's CGI, ripped straight from the 1980s version of Tron. There's the alien who looks like he/she side-stepped from Alien. I'm going with she, because that means there's a chick fight, and somehow that just fits right in.

Someone put a bunch of scripts into a blender and this movie came out.
