Summary: CONELRAD TOP 100 FILM
Review: First off let me state that I was very surprised and entertained by this B flick. I almost saw it in the theaters
in the 80's and wish I had, instead I went to see "Blade Runner", and the "Road Warrior" again. OK so it isn't on that level of movie genius. I can tell you something though; the reviewers who pan this film with 1 star are those who probably love a film like "On The Beach" or "Fail Safe", and who rave about a 50's communist made film like "First Spaceship On Venus". Not to say those (the first 2) are bad films, they are not, but in both films the ending is not happy. These reviewers HATE to see anyone live and try to prosper in a post atomic war. It could easily be a horrible film, but the plot and character twists and turns keep it on edge. It's pretty cool (at least to me) to think of a manned "star wars" space platform that comes back to an atomic ravaged world and the survivors stories afterward. Definite cult status and made the CONELRAD.COM TOP 100 (some big budget flicks didn't make it!)!

Summary: The worst of the worst
Review: For many years, when I was asked what the worst movie of all time was, I would answer DefCon4. Without hesitation or a second lost trying to decide. DefCon4 was the easy answer. I have not seen DefCon4 for many years now, and have come to call this period of time "the age of reason". And while Dracula: Dead and Loving It has seemed to take DefCon4's place as the most rancid piece of waste that I have ever seen, I still hold a special place in my lower intestine for that movie.

Summary: How bad is it.......................
Review: I have to tell you a true story; the poster art was so cool I had to see this picture, yet what I got was the biggest disappointment next to The Avengers. The film starts off with a great idea and the opening scenes show good promise when the crew of a nuclear-armed space station has to react to World War 3. A few months later they have to bail out when an earth-based hacker discovers they might have a load of nukes onboard. Once on ground one of their party falls prey to an unknown predator while the other two have to contend with a gang run by a teenager. The rest of the movie is a bore as it turns into a cheap Mad Max/Road Warrior knock-off. Like many of these films, they all lack the one element that made Mad Max so great, non-stop action. This movie is boring and looks cheap. The only cool thing is the opening scenes and the super cool poster. I wonder why this would even be released on DVD, as I can't remember a single actor I would recognize.

Review: INEPT BOMB OF A MOVIE!!!!!!!! THE ABSOULT WORST CELLUDOID HAS TO OFFER!!!!! The only good acting in the entire movie is Chaykin. The direction was fantastic for what this man had. Even though Jack Deth is in this film, that didn't save the toilet paper script, and FUBAR actors that were in it. See Tango & Cash for a definition of FUBAR!

Summary: CONELRAD TOP 100 FILM
Review: Look, everything ther other reviewers said about this movie is true, but so is this: I like this movie alot. I've watched it again abad again for almost 15 years now. Yea, it's kinda B-rated (budget flick). But it's a cult classic, IMO. You've got to see it to appreciate it. Watch with an open mind. See if you can rent it 1st before you buy. If not, then ask yourself why this old, b-rated movie still commands a top selling price. See? This cult classic b-rated flick is endearing, extraordinary and mutated. :-) You'll really like it or you'll hate it. Good luck.

Summary: Five Stars for sheer "so-bad-I-must-see-it"-ness!
Review: Mmm. Nice, atmospheric start. The tension mounts among the crew of a space probe armed with a nuclear warhead, while a war rages on earth. Six months later, they return to Earth. And then, the film's producer ran out of cash, the director ran out of ideas, the script writer had a "sorry, but the dog ate it, honest!" moment, and the actors just wanted to cash their pay cheques and get onto the next earner. So dreadful, it is completely unmissable. Me and my mate were doubled up in hysterics towards the end of the film as we constantly picked holes in the plot, the continuity....everything! If anyone knows when this is next going to be shown on UK TV, please let me know. A definite MUST SEE.

Summary: Def Con 4
Review: There's no denying that this is not the best of films, but despite this, I found it to be interesting to watch; filmed twenty years ago, it deals with a common concern of the time: nuclear war, and more specifically, human survival after such a frightful event. The main protagonist of the film is a crewmember of a (top secret) nuclear missle platform orbiting the Earth. Several months after the war, the craft is brough down for some unknown reason somewhere in Nova Scotia, Canada. Here they find a world that has naturally become much more primitive and dangerous, and survival inevitably depends upon adapting to this new unfortunate state of reality. Now, the movie certainly lacks a number of qualities: acting is mediocre, the screenplay quite cheesy at times, and over all the story isn't all that profound. But the movie is, like I said, interesting, because it is in a way, a reminder of the fears, concerns and expectations of what is now a bygone era. And for this reason, it deserves, in my opinions a third star.
