Starting with the whole IMDB review thing - they're not the be-all and end-all for deciding if a movie's good or not. Take "The Last Sentinel" as a case in point. This movie had a decent budget and a bunch of hardworking folks behind it who really put their all into making something cool. And honestly, they did a pretty good job. It's not one of those mega-hit films, but it's clear they put a ton of effort and creativity into it.
Now, onto how I rate movies. I've got this rule where any film that keeps me interested gets a solid 7 to start. If a movie really wows me, I'll bump up the score. If it's just meh, I'll drop it down. Anything under a 5 means it's not great, but "The Last Sentinel" definitely doesn't fall into that category. I was engaged with the film from start to end, and believe me, I'm not easily impressed. If cinematic masterpieces like 'Reacher' are getting over 8 points, it's safe to say I'm a minority among the masses.
As for the movie itself, it throws us into this future world where everything's gone to heck. The movie takes place on an ocean rig. If you enjoy post-apocalyptic sci-fi drama thrillers, you'll be sure to enjoy this. However, I do believe it's a mood movie; low energy, late night film.
Wrapping it up, "The Last Sentinel" really shows what can happen when a dedicated team and some seriously talented actors come together. They managed to make a movie that's not just another drop in the ocean. It makes you think twice about relying solely on IMDB ratings and encourages you to check it out for yourself.
