Last Sentinel (2023)
7/10
Unexpectedly engaging film
1 May 2023
Unusual film, without much activity, backstory or action but mostly a study of characters in an increasingly tense situation.

It is 2063, and due to sea-level rise and climate change, it has become a stormy ocean planet, with remaining land masses still at war. Four crew members on 2 year contract on a remote ocean military outpost, defending some sort of weapon are waiting for a relief crew, or for the "enemy" to show up. The relief crew are months overdue, and when a ship does show up, it is empty.

However, I felt engaged with the film through to the end despite the sparse storyline, as crew members struggle with internal and external demons and behave in psychologically unhealthy ways.
