Fast sell:

From visual effects maestro-turned-director Jabbar Raisani (Game of Thrones, Predators) comes a new style of science-fiction thriller – a gritty, high-octane tale of survival against alien invaders.

It’s Independence Day meets Black Hawk Down as a documentary crew joins an elite unit of soldiers at Outpost 37 – the most hostile region of what remains of our planet…

Synopsis:

In 2033, mankind has barely survived a war against an alien force known as ‘Heavies’. Now, with the planet battered and scorched, military forces fight against the last surviving Heavies who remain on Earth.

When a documentary crew joins an elite band of soldiers at the dangerous Outpost 37, they soon discover the alien menace is planning a second invasion – and they’re the only ones who can stop it and ensure the survival of humankind!

We like it because:

Like the science-fiction thrillers of the 1950s and ‘60s, which traded on fears of the atom bomb – back when there was a radioactive monster on every street corner – Mankind’s Last Stand is firmly rooted in the modern world: taking place in the hostile Middle-East, using its documentary premise and news reports to impressive effect, it tells the story of an unsettlingly believable conflict.

It’s helped all the more by director Raisani, whose background in SFX gives him the discipline to keep things refreshingly lo-fi – the result feels more like a war movie than a high-concept science-fiction. That doesn’t mean it’s short of super-cool, terrifying alien monsters, of course…

And with B-movie legend Adrian Paul (TV’s very own Highlander) leading a cast of young, exciting talent into the fray, Mankind’s Last Stand is a battle not to be missed!
