Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Paul Magne Haakonsen This 2003 addition to the "Mimic" legacy didn't really bring much of anything new or any improvement to the franchise. It is not a bad movie, don't get me wrong. It was just too mediocre, generic and it had essentially all been seen before in parts one and two respectively.The story in "Mimic: Sentinel" was about Marvin (played by Karl Geary), a young man living in a plastic bubble as he had suffered from the Strickler's disease. Confined to his room, Marvin and his sister Rosy (played by Alexis Dziena) watch the neighborhood fall prey to the aggressive Judas Breed cockroaches.Story-wise, then it was essentially the same as in parts one and two, except that director J.T. Petty did add an interesting element to the story with having the guy confined to his room and seeing the world through a camera lens. That actually added a unique element to the movie, and it worked quite well.The actors in the movie were doing good jobs, especially Karl Geary, whom seemed to have fully immersed himself into the role of the somewhat weird young man. And of course when you put Lance Henriksen into a movie, even with just a small supportive role, you know you are getting something quite good in return.The creature / cockroach designs were good and living well up to what had been established in the first two movies.It was a shame that "Mimic: Sentinel" failed to be extraordinary, because it had all the ingredients right at the fingers of director J.T. Petty.

ebiros2 This is another direct to video sequel to the Mimic.Pulling another variant with the Mimic character was bit of a stretch. The movie starts to look the same after the first two. But the movie is well formulated. The acting and the quality remains at similar levels to the first two. While there's nothing wrong with the movie, It's no longer intriguing to see the killing by the bug or figure out how the story goes, because you already know.It's not a bad horror flick, but if you've seen the first two, there won't be any new surprises.They should have picked a completely new settings for the backdrop of the story like in a jungle or something. Then the story would have had a whole new life to it.

Vic_max Even though this movie was clearly made on a low-budget and with limited scenery, it's not altogether bad. It builds on the idea of a lightly mentally debilitated young man who takes pictures of neighbors through his apartment window. When his sister happens to be pointing a camera out the window, she sees some sort of assault occurring ... and things only get more suspicious and mysterious as they continue to watch.If you've ever seen Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window", this movie uses a similar setup to build intrigue and suspense. It kind of works OK in this case. If the actors/characters were a bit more interesting, this movie would be much better. But, as it stands, it's a "B" or "C" level sci-fi movie.

john_tserkezis I can understand why they chose a different style for this installment of Mimic. Too bad I can't understand anything else, such as:Why the honored characters (the bugs) have barely but a cameo appearance, and hardly contribute to the storyline other than they are the "mystery killers"? Well duh.Why the only relationship between the main character (the brother) and the bugs, is that he was one of the surviving children of the plague that the bugs were created for in the first place? Like if it were not for this fact, viewers wouldn't be able to link this installment with the first two.How is the sister's involvement with her drug dealer associate important to the story other than just about everyone in the neighborhood is purported to be a drug user?How is it important that the police officer investigating the killings become romantically involved with the mother? And not waste any time either...Why is the relationship between the brother and the across-the-road beautiful neighbor not carried forward? For that matter, was it important to the storyline in the first place?Sigh. I was left overly disappointed after watching this. I mean Mimic 2 was bad enough, but sheeze, this is so far worse it's not even worth watching to say you've seen it.
