Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Only watch this movie if you have absolutely no standards at all. Actually, not even then. Hands down the worst movie ever!!! I seriously don't care how small the budget was. The plot was dumb, the actors were horrible, and what's with the CGI helmet on that "alien thing"?? Normally I would just laug hbut, for some reason this movie just made me angry!.How about changing the set a little huh? shoot the entire movie in an abandoned shopping mall? I seriously can't believe how awful this movie is. The main character??? I don't even have the time to go there. DO NOT WATCH!! I am sorry to be so negative but, I took it as an insult that someone would actually make such a piece of garbage and try to get people to waste their time watching it. Yikes!!!!

Have just watched this move for a second time, forgotten what it was like.I could see what the director was after, but only after I had read the sleeve notes and the directors notes on this page, then it made some sense. But with such a low budget he could not pull it off.Also with no sub titles Had great difficulty following speech , always do hearing shot, however others agree the back ground music (?) is very intrusive.Agree with the person who said that this is a slow move, but he had to fill the time some how, and then they still had to add the opening sequence to take it up to a move length.Overall I feel that if this story had a couple of additional writers to help and a bigger budget it could be a very good movie, the basics are all there.Still only 1/10

DEFCON 2012 is a very cool sci-fi film that goes deep into the end of the world theories and beyond. Kaynin, Archer and Rune are galactic scavengers who travel between planets seeking out treasure and lost artifacts or anything they can find to survive on. Their spacecraft lands on E541, a planet once know as Earth. Kaynin is a jaded scavenger who has lost hope for humanity and feels he has no family. Each planet feels more and more like a wasteland providing nothing to inspire him to go beyond his scavenger ways. Rune, who is part robot and part human seems to have each mission under control while Archer is reckless and could find himself in harms way forcing Kaynin to worry about both of them. Soon after discovering the empty underground structure they have been wondering is empty they run into Axton and Tak, a couple of telepathic warriors from a human resistant group. They join forces with Kaynin, Archer and Rune and soon find they're not alone in the underground city. Another darker figure known as Vulkl stalks them as they search for treasure and lost artifacts. They soon run into E-San, who is one the survivors for the planet and lives with a large family in an underground world known as Shelter City. She guides through the labyrinth of the underground world and as they search for the clues that once destroyed the planet. Each clue seem to draw the characters deeper into a maze of government conspiracies and Mayan mythology. It's a much deeper story then what is in the actual film and is the type of movie you might need to watch a few times to truly understand what makes it so unique and mysterious. This film is none conventional in so many ways and daringly breaks all of the rules of filmmaking to tell an interesting story with an even deeper message. If your paying attention you might be entertained and left with real questions about the end of the world and what that really means.

Three out of ten possible stars is more than enough for this movie. Taking into account the budget of just $35.000 this movie isn't as bad as could have been. The movie starts off with a man in black suite and the audio of several newscasts made with a commonly used voice-synthesizer. The scenes give a sense of mystery to the viewer (which i really liked), however the artificial voices are ruining that feeling. I simply can't understand why Carolina Liechtenstein resorted to voice-synthesizers for that part. It is a major put off. The sound quality, the decors, the acting is as can be expected with such a low budget. Mediocre at best but worse most of the time. Worst of all, the sequence of events is so sssslllllllooooooooooowwwww! Frankly, a snail dipped in super glue goes around in an Olympic pace compared to the 'action' in this movie. I was forced to use the fast-forward button more than once. During most of the movie i kept on asking myself "What the heck is this movie about?" and at the end i still have to guess what it was about. Perhaps i need to see it twice or three times to comprehend it completely but that prospect doesn't really appeal to me. Still, it's much better than Aliens vs Avatars. The special effects are occasionally reasonably good (the CAD/CAM for instance) considering the budget. Summorizing: It's not a movie i would recommend to anyone, not even SF fans.
