TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

soulexpress In the Near Future®, the Earth's surface has been reduced to a radioactive wasteland by a belligerent alien race called the Ma'hars. What was left of the human race took to the stars, where the Ma'Hars hunt them in the hope of wiping out humanity and putting an end to this long war. But those plucky humans aren't going down without a fight!Led by one Sgt. Sharp—a self-proclaimed "bad mother****er but a fair one"--a company of Galactic Marines is sent on a recon mission to a planet that looks like the bad part of a U.S. city. They end up fighting zombies, vampires, werewolves, weaponized insects, a three- headed dinosaur, cyborg assassins, and a well-armed gang of dune- buggy riders. None of it makes a damned bit of sense until you assume that you're watching a video game. The set pieces, visual effects, and picture quality all suggest one from the Clinton era.RECON 2020 is a badly written, acted, and produced amalgam of sci- fi, horror, and action clichés. It rips off everything from "Star Wars" to "Mad Max" to "Terminator" to "The X Files" to "Starship Troopers." Perhaps the filmmakers intended it as homage, but it feels more like plagiarism. A cyborg even says, "I'll be back." There is absolutely nothing to recommend this dreck, even to die- hard fans of bad cinema. Item: One of the Marines wears a custom-made visor that blocks his side and rear vision. Not the smartest thing to wear in combat!Item: The company's pilot is a college-aged blonde that I've nicknamed Galactic Marine Barbie. This chick is a battle-scarred pilot like I'm a Hair Club for Men "after" model. (You see, I'm bald on top.)And now, some dialogue samples:MARINE #1: "Sarge is a cool customer." MARINE #2: "Yes. He's kept us alive many times."MARINE #3: "Why in God's name would anybody mess with sh*t that does this sh*t?"ENEMY MERCENARY: "I want 'em all at my feet! Then we'll rip their hearts open and let the sun shine in."MARINE #4: "I've been in some badass bush before, but this one takes the lemon tart."

rockdalecop What the hell is wrong with the people behind this crap? Here is a better question, what the hell is wrong with me renting this crap?????? I was only able to stomach the first 15 minutes or so of this lame film. I knew that this would be an extremely low budget film. But, some of this actors were soooooooooooooooooo bad. From the Sergeant all the way to a pilot!!!. I've seen some movies that the budget was like 27.00 dollars but the acting was good. This had the worst special effects, the worst acting and the most stupid plot ever. Oh, and one more thing, in the beginning just before the movie started, they did an opening credit thing like in Star Wars but this time they had some guy reading the wording. It was soooooooooooo bad 'cause this guy sounded like he was dying to say "dude" at the end of every word. AVOID AT ALL COST!!!!

james-971 "Look, we have guns and costumes and special effects and a bunch of people to work on our movie and to be in our movie. We can't miss!!".. Well, you did. I rented this movie at CinemaNow.com with high hopes. I really wanted to like it but I thought is was so bad that I couldn't even watch the whole thing. It could not have been more boring if they tried to make it so. The directing and acting is uninspired. The pacing was so bad that I thought there was something wrong with my computer. I thought that maybe it kept playing the same scene over and over and over and over. I managed to sit through almost 30 minutes of this sci-fi action film before I decided that there was nothing at that point that could save the rest of it. The movie reminded me of an episode of the Simpsons that showed Krusty the Clown doing a bit on his television show. In the bit, he walks out with a pair of huge rubber ears on. He looks to the audience while motioning to the ears as though having them meant instant humor. He does the same thing when he pulls out a huge Q-tip to clean his huge ears. He doesn't understand why nobody thinks this is funny. Same with this movie. They have costumes and guns and explosions and many of the things that a good action film should have but they seem to think that it was enough. They forgot about an interesting story or good editing, dialog, lighting, and all the other things that make you want to watch a movie. Having a bag of tricks isn't enough. Especially when people are use to watching big budget films that have a much larger bag of tricks along with good stories, editing, lighting and the rest. Nice try but next time try to make a good movie rather than one that feeds your fantasy of wanting to be a big time film maker.

debatem1 This movie is- without a doubt- among the worst movies ever made. Not Mission Impossible: III bad, not Battlefield Earth bad, not even Bloodrayne bad, just flat out bad, and I say that as a true veteran of terrible movies. I wish I could say with some degree of confidence that if only a certain part of the movie had been removed, or a certain aspect of it improved, that it would have been good- but I would be lying. The plot is marginal. The acting is TERRIBLE. The special effects are positively laughable, and worst of all, the entire movie could best be described as a montage of the 10,000 most clichéd movie moments of all time. A cyborg steals a line from Terminator; the intro is stolen (tits and all) from the base camp scene in Starship Troopers; the ship is ripped wholesale from Wing Commander; the sound effects, as mentioned previously, are unbelievably close to half life... the list is endless. In short- it was everything I was looking for when I went to Blockbuster, but I feel a certain relief that I did not actually have to purchase this film in order to witness its violent imperfection.
