Defcon 2012

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

Normally I am not overly keen on sci-fi movies, but I opted to give this 2010 movie a chance, and figured since it brandished "visually stunning" on the cover, then at least it would be eye-candy if the storyline was rubbish.

Well, I wonder if the person from DVD Review have been watching the same movie as I did. Because "Defcon 2012" was not visually stunning, not even in the least bit. It was horrible. The CGI looked like something that was discarded for being too lousy for a 2000s computer game. It was terrible CGI to look at, and it just made the viewing experience all the more bad.

As for the story, well let's just say that writer Brian N. Hoff didn't manage to put together an interesting, entertaining or enjoyable script. The narrative was boring and pointless, and you very quickly give up on this ordeal. And the character gallery was about as interesting as trying to count strands of grass on a soccer field.

Of course I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. And while that is usually something I enjoy, to watch new and unfamiliar talents on the screen, it just didn't apply to "Defcon 2012". The movie was just too much of a train wreck for me to care.

The movie's cover was actually the best thing about the entire ordeal. And needless to say that the cover oversold the movie by a lightyear.

Do yourself a favor and don't get suckered in to watching "Defcon 2012", it just simply isn't worth the effort.

My rating of director R. Christian Anderson's 2010 movie "Defcon 2012" lands on a very, very generous one out of ten stars.

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!!!!

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.

Best thing about movie The cover picture That is where they spent the money
