The complete sentence Look! is grammatical: an adverb (look where?) can be supplied by an outstretched hand, a nod of the head, a slight movement of the eye, specifying the intended direction.

The isolated utterance, lying, as it were, on a laboratory table, is not language.
It may depend on what you define a complete sentence to be. But for one thing, actual communication does not necessarily take place in "complete sentences".
You will have to add a bunch of "elided" components to transform

Nevertheless
The man is looking.

Five people are watching for meteors from about 10pm to 4am on 11-12 August. The people vary in gender and age, one only of them is an adult male (or "man"), and each one of them has an assigned quadrant and schedule. One person will not be actively observing, or looking, at any given 20-minute interval. Who's looking for meteors from 0220 to 0240 in quadrant B? Is it the child Sammy who's looking? No. The man is looking.
