I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

A Major Disappointment

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Here's the thing I absolutely love B-Movies, horrible movies, and movies most people wold be embarrassed that they like. This movie just didn't get me. I couldn't go with the flaws. The synopsis says a "Few months later"... OMG it was like 30 hours later and already there are cannibals, new societies, people unable to bathe... I tried to ignore it but then it just got worse. Outside of the fact that radiation wold have wiped most out, well I just couldn't buy it all... and I tried. Bad, bad, bad...not good bad, just bad.

Defcon-4 is a great post-apocalyptic film with a well developed story and great cast. The movie has three people returning to earth and found out that the earth is obliterated after the effect of world war 3. When they return they find a wasteland of hell and dismay. As they explore they are captured...........that's all I have to say, you have to see the rest to find out what happens after that because the movie is so good, you have to watch it. The movie is a low-budget film, but it is a great film done by a big director who has sadly passed away. The movie is not like another Mad Max, but something different to the table that most people will enjoy, especially the sci-fi fans and fans of action and post- apocalyptic movies.

The first half hour of this flick is so intense and well-done that you can't help but feel letdown when it quickly degenerates into Z-grade, Mad Max post apocalyptic nonsense. And it just continues to get worse and worse until the rather abrupt ending.Three astronauts orbiting Earth watch helplessly as World War III erupts. After making an emergency crash landing, one of the astronauts in rendered unconscious while another is dragged from the ship and eaten by savages. Howe, our hero, escapes and finds that Earth has become a wasteland inhabited by post apocalyptic cretins ruled over by a snot nosed rich kid named Gideon.If the film had maintained the tension and drama of the first half hour, this movie would have been a classic. But as it stands, it's just another Mad Max wannabe. Skip it.

I haven't seen DEF-CON 4 for several years and if it's as bad as I remember it I hope to never see it again . The story is grim and lacks credibility . A space station witnesses the third world war and a trio of survivors wait for the radiation levels to drop so they can return to Earth , and when they return they find that the survivors are well armed barbarians where it's survival of the fittest This movie doesn't concern itself with the intellect of post apocalypse authors like John Wyndham or John Christopher , it's trying to be similar in genre to the likes of MAD MAX etc . The problem is that it doesn't have the budget to do so . We see no devastated cities and most of the action takes place in North American woodland which is an obvious budgetery descion on the part of the producers and not a creative one . There probably wasn't much of a movie to start with but if there was the exploitive scenes take it down to an even lower level . For example the hero walks through woodland ( Did I mention most of the action takes place in the sticks ? ) and comes across a bunch of survivors who are carving up a roast dinner - A human leg ! There's another scene with a severed arm and a couple of other gory scenes . I know that the likes of 28 DAYS LATER and THE OMEGA MAN suffer from gaps in logic but at least they're entertaining and enthralling unlike this contrived unsympathetic mess
