"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.

I agree with the first post. Many clichés, bad editing, RE-use of special effects (same two extras get blown up on the battlefield within a minute of each other--how dumb do they think we are?), acting comparable to a high school play--and much of the other things he said. I nearly split a gut laughing at the stolen line from Terminator. How this film supposedly WON an award for best sci-fi action film is beyond me...unless perhaps it was the ONLY film entered in that category? I didn't know about the award thing until AFTER I saw the film...and had to do a double-take, because I thought surely I had misread it. I was stunned. This film WON an award for something other than being one of the most lame sci-fi "action" films I have ever seen?? The only one I've seen that is worse was some Lorenzo Lamas lame thing called Alien 3000---don't be fooled on that one, either. Worst film ever made. If you think it has any connection with the Alien trilogy, you will be sadly mistaken, as I was about this film being anything in the range of Starship Troopers. Not even close! This film receives a vote of "2" from me because it's the SECOND worst sci-fi film ever made. Save your time and money....you can THINK about renting it...but DON'T DO IT! All the king's horses and all the king's men could not possibly put this film together again...as an exciting feature, anyway.

Let me just start out by saying that in no way shape or form is this movie noteworthy of anything good...except one small thing. Its the only movie where I have seen the Lochness Monster, Frankenstein, Mummy, Zombies, a three headed dragon, Vampires, AND werewolf all in the same flick. If you consider the fact that all of these things are in one movie you would think it would have to be sweet.

Unfortunately, its far from the truth. The only reason I watched this movie is because I work in a video store and I like watching all of the movies that are campy and cheaply made because they are fun to watch. Even on the special features they rip on their own movie. \ "The actors we had were basically volunteers and we worked with virtually no budget." That was what the director said during commentary.

The actors and actresses in the movie had about as much talent as my left shoe. They used about as much emotion as Stephan Hawking does with his voice box. The effects are horrible. I could do a better job with the "fire" they used with a lighter and a roll of toilet paper, which is funny because toilet paper was the first thing I reached for when this movie was over.

I don't know if it was a sequel to something, but there were so many plot holes I thought I just turned the movie on halfway and was deaf. I mean, its so bad that SCI FI CHANNEL originally planned it to be a series on the network, but in the end they scrapped the plan and told them to make it into a movie. Good idea. I thank you Sci Fi channel. You spared me an hour and a half of my life I could use scratching myself or holding my breath until I passed out. I will say this though...watching it is something you should do in life. I know, hypocritical to say since I just ripped this movie apart, but let me finish. When you watch this you will feel much better about yourself. You will feel like you can achieve anything in life and all your dreams will come true. If someone can make this and actually have somebody to back it up enough to put in on a DVD and sell the thing, you can be king of France if you really tried. I hope this served as a nice insight on one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

Oh, my God. I can't believe I wasted my free movie rental coupon on this sorry excuse for a high school fantasy! I barely watched five minutes of it before asking my wife for the remote to turn it off.

Stunned silence followed - and a never ending feeling of hopelessness as I thought of all the ways I could make this disc unplayable for anyone else.

A half-naked sex scene just after the credits, terrible sound quality, bad lighting, bad acting - the list is endless of overt mistakes. The first and foremost being the writer and director ever being given actual money to make this garbage. If I were the production house, I'd ask for a refund.

Save yourself! Don't watch this movie!!!

Recon 2020 is a star ship troops kind of movie about a recon military group that gets caught on a planet with zombies, cyborgs, and aliens. Lots of action and bloody fights make this film only for gory action lovers. The acting and directing is passable but the very low budget doesn't leave much for the serious film watcher. This movie isn't meant to be anything more than a fun time for cheesy scifi action lovers. There are a handful of good scenes that make you think that the film will get better, but it doesn't. Makes good background noise and you don't miss anything by occasionally looking up to see what's going on. Not something you can just sit an pay attention to.
