Released in certain territories around the world in 2015, Dominion: The Last Star Warrior is a rough, raw and ridiculous sci-fi experience that at its core harbors an interesting idea but in inception delivers a tiresome and dialogue heavy offering that is anchored down by bargain bin worthy delivery and a convoluted plot that is far too high reaching for director Richard Lowry's 80 minute feature.If I was being honest, Dominion is almost (and I mean really close to being) a so bad its good event but thanks to its inability to instil itself with any sort of energy or heart, Lowry's poorly executed effort becomes harder to bare as the runtime clicks ever so slowly onwards.After an initially intriguing set-up, you feel like it's possible this could be a tolerable low-budget affair but after an extended opening credits period, Dominion starts to fall very quickly off the rails as its plot line becomes more apparent and increasingly tiresome.Centring around Barry Lynch's retired US Intelligence agent turned UFO investigator Robert Casey and his dealings with Travis Hammer's Jaelen, a human-like being from another planet whose operating as an observer on our planet and tells Casey about the unfortunate impending doom of Earth in 5 days, Dominion does have the bare bones of a decent story but it's never allowed to grow in Lowry's poorly delivered and badly acted tale.When you throw in a laughably bad love story between Jaelen and a women he fell in love with whilst on Earth and a bunch of other-worldly races and beings that we never really get to know much about, poor old Dominion never really stands a chance in a day and age where consumers expect a certain amount of quality control and performances with a pulse.Final Say - For the most tolerant and Sci-Fi obsessed movie goer Dominion may provide some type of entertainment for 80 minutes but for the rest of us, this shoddy and raw feature is an extremely tough viewing experience.½ a long opening credits sequence out of 5

Robert Casey (Barry Lynch) publishes books on UFOs and the government cover up. He teams up with Jaylen (Travis Hammer) who is from Andromeda and and warns of a Draconian invasion that will wipe out human existence, except for those Illuminati humans that run the planet who are in cahoots with the aliens.The film was suicide boring. It consisted mostly of people talking. It is into conspiracy theories about ancient astronauts, UFOs and government secret bases. Yes we need those AR-15' so we can overwhelm the government at these secret bases when the aliens attack. The plot was horrible as was the dialogue and acting. The other issue is that the budget doesn't allow the production to show any battle scenes. They are read to us. I am not sure who started the trend to name aliens from the visible earth constellation. It is idiotic as the stars in the constellation are not really part of a close cluster, they just appear that way. And why would someone who lives on a planet that circles a star in constellation of Arcturus refer to themselves as Arcturians? People who like this conspiracy nonsense might also like "Harodim." BTW empty computer folders do not have documents, pictures, or film in them. Guide: No F-words, sex, or nudity. DVD has English subtitles.

Do not believe what you see on the DVD cover which seems to indicate that the viewer is in for a feast of special effects and alien action. What you actually get is a rather pedestrian conspiracy thriller in which a UFO watcher, together with a very human-looking alien try to warn the world that the world will end in five days when some draconian aliens, who just happen to be called Draconians (how original is that?) will launch their invasion.The plot seems to involve NASA, or maybe the NSA who are also in on the plot to destroy Earth, and therefore themselves, trying to stop our intrepid duo. In the meantime, the alien's human girlfriend has had a forced abortion and a file containing the facts has taken about four hours to upload to the internet. It seems that the Americans are still on dial-up. Anyway, by the end of the film we have seen none of the draconian Draconions and a voice-over tells us that the human survivors have been taken to a new planet - we do not get to see that either. Now that I have written this review, I can forget all about it - which you should do too.

The earth is going to be invaded in five days says a man from Andromeda called Jaelen to a dedicated ufologist Robert Casey. The latter tries to get this information out to the world. Meanwhile Jaelen's human partner Alyssa who is expecting their baby has been abducted somewhere. Eventually the earth is invaded. They are some of the strands in this film and it sounds promising but it is really slow. It does show it's low budget by the number of talking scenes and most of it is telling and not showing. There is a prologue that states mankind concealed lots of unborn babies in stasis to be revived when the invaders had gone but at the end of the film it says mankind survived because Andromedan space ships took millions of people away to a suitable planet in their galaxy, which made the prologue superfluous. The invading aliens are the Draconians who apparently have been in cahoots with NASA for decades, which is a bit silly. The moon is also a hologram! The music score, direction, acting and photography are dull. Towards the end there is an extract playing from Dvorak's 'From The New World' to add a grandiose 2001:A Space Odyssey vibe but it doesn't work. Poor Dvorak doesn't get a mention in the credits either. Give this one a miss.
