Movie Reviews of Mimic 3 - Sentinel
Movie Review: Something Old, Something New
Summary: 4 Stars
I took a chance on this movie after reading the reviews. I have to say I was surprised by the quality. The directing was good and most of the actors were pretty decent, especially the guy who played Martin; Lance Henriksen, of course, was on point.
I won't give you a play-by-play because other reviewers have already done that. I will say, though, that the movie is something like "Rear Window Meets Mimic Bug." It was filmed in Romania, but you can find all this out on the featurette.
The movie is heavy on character development so don't go expecting nonstop action from the beginning. In other words, if you're one of those low-attention-span types, then this is definitely not the movie for you. I didn't see any real hardcore gore until 45 or so minutes into it.
I agree with the other reviewers in that there were a few scenes that were so dark you couldn't make out what the hell was going on. However, again, if you watch the featurette, you'd know that the director had an extremely limited budget to work with, which I gathered while watching the movie. But I think those dark scenes ultimately added to the films overall charm. It allowed the building of suspense until the excellent kill scenes at the end.
As for the video quality, the film looked sharp and I didn't notice any video anomalies. Sound was fine, too.
Caution: There is a disturbing scene in the featurette where one of the extras shows us around the Romanian movie lot where wild dogs roam. He shows us, while crying, some dead dogs on some grass as well as a dead puppy. I don't think he was joking. The director mentions how he was stunned by the amount of wild, yet friendly, dogs that roam the streets. I take it they live on handouts and there must not be much of that going on. So, any animal lovers be warned!
In some ways, this third installment of Mimic is even more intelligently made than the first. I think it's worth owning and for the price, you can't go wrong.
