trident712 I saw the DVD cover for Recon 2022 in the local Blockbuster Video store. Mind you, I really do like to support independent film any chance I get. Unfortunately for me, I had to blow $5, and my evening to learn that the cover art was the best thing about this film. It was all downhill from there.I can't even begin to describe what the "absence of acting" did to torture me, so I won't. The dialog resembled a collection of writings from bathroom stalls. And, after much suffering, for the hope that I might get a fraction of $5 out of this experience, a giant SOCK PUPPET entered the screen and attacked the characters. That won't even fly with 1st graders! With respect to your time and mine, I won't attempt to detail the plethora of flaws and abuses. Simply put, the most horrific elements (non existent) were: Dialogue, Acting, Story, and FX.The fact that this caught distribution is so frightening, it should get a special trophy from Screamfest. I will retract my statements if it can be proved that this was a 48-hour film project. Anything over 72-hours and I sustain my comments. The best part of the experience was the long awaited closing credit sequence. Be warned! Save yourselves! Run from this title! On a positive note, every filmmaker should have a new found hope of getting distribution and reaching the shelves of Blockbuster.

dbborroughs With mankind pushed to the stars the result of a war with the Ma'har, its up to the soldiers to keep mankind free and alive. A small band of soldiers are dropped on Mezzo an ice world where the Ma'har maybe lurking. Sci-fi action film in the mode of a low budget Starship Trooper sort. Clearly made on the cheap the film relies on the characters to carry events and quite frankly it works. To be certain its a clichéd story with clichéd characters but at the same time it all comes together in a story thats entertaining. Unlikely to win any awards this is just a good little film that tells its story and then gets off. Better than many direct to video or SCIFI originals, this is the perfect fodder for an undemanding night in front of the tube. (and yes the effects are pretty good. There aren't a great many but what there are are choice.)

hansener-1 I think IMDb is broken because i can't give this movie enough stars. Gratuitous boobies, awesome cgi, and unmatched story telling make this movie a must see for all lovers of space-marine based films. The dialog is gripping and well thought out. The story makes perfect sense and is actually quite believable for this genre. I could not have asked for a better film watching experience. The special effects are some of Quebec's best work that i've seen and rival that of Hollywood's best mid 90's productions. This movie is a must-see. The sound editing is especially phenomenal, not once did i have trouble hearing the dialog because the music was too loud. Cinematography at its finest. Never have I been more envious of an actor as I was during the "butt sledding" scene. it really looked like fun.

poodlishka I usually don't write comments on movies but seeing that there is no other comment on this movie I decided to save you from one and half hour of torture. The acting is really terrible, dialogs are completely inadequate to situation, special FX are crappy, the storyline makes no sense, characters are unrealistic. Battles are idiotic, people shooting at each other from no more than 5m (15feet) for 30 sec and not hitting even once, frontal attacking having an alternative of using snipers, fighting with fists instead of guns... It almost looks like all the filming crew was forced to make this movie, but they didn't want to. If I save at least one person from watching this movie I'll be more than happy.
