Sentinel - DVD

In an imminent and war-ravaged future, a quartet of soldiers are the sole operators of a marine outpost situated in the sea between combative continents. However, their relief is three months overdue, there's been nothing but radio silence in the interim... and already-frayed nerves are pushed to the limit as an approaching and unknown ship refuses their hails. Claustrophobic chiller from Britain stars Kate Bosworth, Thomas Kretschmann, Lucien Laviscount, Martin McCann. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Roland Emmerich's Stargate marries science fiction with ancient mythology, constructing a premise that is as ambitious as it is accessible. Kurt Russell and James Spader serve as grounding forces, one pragmatic, the other theoretical, as they enter a world that feels both alien and strangely familiar. The film's appeal lies in it's sense of discovery, each revelation expanding the possibilities of it's central idea. Even when the spectacle takes over, the curiosity remains intact.
