While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The film opens with 8 minutes of news reports while showing us the credits. It then goes into a lengthy first person narration one that persists throughout the film. It seems the earth was destroyed in 2012 due to aliens that took some people captive as miners. One guy escapes and becomes a scavenger, visiting different planets for artifacts and things of value. That would indeed be a good film if they actually did it, and didn't read it to us. He is now on earth looking for something and uncovers a government secret.The film is awful and most of you won't make it past 10 minutes. The sound is choppy and CG effects bad. I kept waiting for all the narration to end and the film to actually start. But when I saw how bad the acting was, I was now wishing they would simply narrate.The good news is this stinker is worth 2 punches on a hackers card, normally reserved for bad films over 2 hour long.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity, but you just feel violated after you watch it

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!!!!

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.
