I usually don't write comments on movies but seeing that there is no other comment on this movie I decided to save you from one and half hour of torture. The acting is really terrible, dialogs are completely inadequate to situation, special FX are crappy, the storyline makes no sense, characters are unrealistic. Battles are idiotic, people shooting at each other from no more than 5m (15feet) for 30 sec and not hitting even once, frontal attacking having an alternative of using snipers, fighting with fists instead of guns... It almost looks like all the filming crew was forced to make this movie, but they didn't want to. If I save at least one person from watching this movie I'll be more than happy.

the worst movie ever
endoskull8115 March 2008
Bad graphics, silly soft porn scenes, electricity shooting from tits, comments like "wow that was a real tity twister" its very comedic we were laughing so hard at how bad it is and waiting for the next soft porn scene unfortunately the next soft porn scene ended up as a vulgar blood rape with a drill.
Screen saver graphics, green screen shots that are so obvious you can't help but to laugh. Very funny if you drink heavy beforehand otherwise you might get sick. The quality of the video is less then your standard youtube video or spam advertisement. Scenes tied together with powerpoint screen effects, no dialog, just bits and pieces connected with the average Atari like graphics.
My favorite scene was the super fake worm alien green screen shot sort of like a sock puppet. It was so funny we could not stop laughing.
The worst movie ever, drink a lot before viewing so you can at least laugh that your $8.00 went into the trash.

Acting ??

Warning: Spoilers
This is one of the saddest movies I have ever watched..We are supposed to write 10 lines of commentary on this? The best acting done in the entire movie is done by the computer animated space ships.. The human acting is on par with Ms. Gelder's 4th grade school play.. There is possibly a good story here, but it is never developed by the cast.. The cast should have been cast out and a new one hired.. The setting is supposed to be on some remote planet outside of Pluto. Any planet that far from the sun would have a frozen atmosphere. Yet we watch our rag tag band of heroes tromping through some bright, sunny earth-like terrain dressed in common winter clothing in search of their objective. If you are looking for the perfect gift for that supervisor you hate, this is it. This is a waste of your time and the plastic used to make the DVD.. A definite STAY AWAY flick..

Personally I enjoyed this movie and it's sequel ( I haven't seen the first one yet). Yeah it's a B movie but nobody ever said it was supposed to be the next Dark Knight. It's a B movie and never apologizes for what it is. It's low budget with no name actors and not so special effects. Despite all this, they do a good job trying to bring the story to life and making you somewhat care about the characters. After the debacles that were Star Trek, Wolverine, Terminator Rise of the Machines and Transformers, Those movies make Recon 2022 look like James Cameron's Aliens. The bad thing was that those movies had multi-million dollar budgets and big name actors! That's another rant for another time though.
The best character in this movie is Dr. Anderson. Putting a Gynecologist as the company's medic is a stroke of comedic genius and the actor plays the part to a sleazy hilt. No i'd never pay to see this in a theater but it's nice to have on Netflix. Nothing wrong with a good B movie you can laugh at and just enjoy for what it is, a movie for a slow Friday or Saturday night that you can laugh at. On that note, I can't wait to see what happens in Recon 2024!

This would be one of the worst movies you will ever see
eagle7119 April 2008
This was probably the worst movie i have ever seen Bad graphics, really bad acting seriously students straight out of acting school would have done better, seemed to me none of these so called actors had any acting skills at all. Graphics were so bad the special FX arm was there any u could have done better with an amiga 500 editing was so that some times i didn't know what was up or down and over using same old seens over and over again, the bad music was like soft porn music and don't get me started on the monster which was a sock puppet, now they r making another my god and i also think there was one before this sequel. Try not to fall asleep watching this gem.
It is NOT the epitome of Sci-Fi... but it tries
Denatir8 July 2008
If you saw the 1st Recon movie, you'll know what to expect from this one! Yes, the sets and the costumes are better than in the first movie, and the special effects (while throwbacks from the 70s or 80s) are better in the sequel. Viel tries to continue the story of Earth's decimation by an alien race and the subsequent journey of humankind to the stars to fight what seems to be a never ending battle against the creatures that are determined to wipe them out.
This is beyond a low budget film, it is a sub-level budget film. The dialog is painful at some points and overly predictable. The acting is.... well, there were actors in the film. NONE of this however stops Viel from bringing this story to a video store near you, and thankfully so. If you like really bad "B" movies, this one is for you! Viel and his troop of actors don't just go through the motions, they really are trying to bring the story to life. Unfortunately, they just don't have the resources to do the job. Should it stop them? No way... while not a multi-million dollar blockbuster, it's nice to see people making a movie because they WANT to. It's worth a rental just to support the fun they are obviously having. A 5 for effort, if not for delivery.

Whole lotta bad
anymountain24 September 2009
You can bet any review that says something good about this film was written by someone with a personal stake. Especially if it mentions something specific. The sound mix is horrible, the editing is amateur, the cinematography is unexplainable, the directing is non-existent.
The story and writing are so hack and derivative of other films, that I recommend the best way to watch this movie is a game where you have to shout out what movie each line or prop is based on, in turn. The guy who brakes the chain drinks.
These guys have made half a dozen feature films, how is that possible? That is a HUGE accomplishment, who gives these guys money.
This movie is like watching a paintball club playing out a scene from a star trek movie.

Would like to see a remake with a bigger budget
ladybug253511 December 2016
Woefully minuscule budget drags down the promise of this film. I DO understand why this movie is rated very low; among other things the sound quality is horrendous which in some spots makes it virtually impossible to follow the dialogue. Turn it up so you can hear one part of the conversation then the other participant blasts your eardrums--and the soundtrack for most of the movie is downright annoying.
There are some decent bits here--the dialogue isn't bad for the most part, and neither is most of the acting(I obviously disagree with some of the reviewers here). I think the acting is negatively affected by the sound issues and bad editing. As it is, I was particularly impressed with the leads and some of the characterizations were interesting. There are a few original bits here that you don't tend to see in films of this type--such as the acknowledgment of PTSD. bereavement, loss and the ongoing problems of sexual harassment (which unfortunately apparently all continue even far into the future). I would have liked to have seen an expanded view on their interactions and the effects on a population after a large portion has been wiped out and forced into hiding, but instead we get a focused and all-too familiar picture of Marines in the future working with the strangely anachronistic tech of 2016 (anachronistic for the far future anyway).
The story is familiar and straight forward. Sure there are the usual clichés, and the FXs were more like something you'd see in the 90s instead of 2007, but overall it's a bit of entertainment to while away an hour or two that didn't make me feel as if I wasted my time. This is (nominally) a science fiction film but it plays more like any war movie and even the settings, technology and relationships are far too fixed in today's time period--which detracts from the story line and shows a lack of imagination.
I imagine budget constraints prevented any real play with the tech but the script could have demonstrated at least SOME advancements in soldiering (at minimum treatments for the psychological issues--just a little research into cutting advancements could have served as inspiration) and how they deal with life and death challenges. They did this very well in "Aliens" as an example--tech played only a small part in updating the military force--the soldiers were familiar and yet their interactions and tactics were believably updated for that future). I'd love to see what the creators could do with a real budget.

Traditional movie reviews will often give a hint as to the plot of the film. Sadly, I am thoroughly incapable of doing this, as that RECON 2022: THE MEZZO INCIDENT is not actually a movie. Rather, it is a series of loosely connected events involving the same merry band of hockey-helmeted-heroes found in RECON 2020. Rather than attempt to review this pipe-dream, I will simply list several facts about humanity's grim future. 1. Porn shows WILL be hooked up to malfunctioning shop-vacs. 2. The bartender WILL serve you motor-oil if you hit on the droid. 3. Said droid WILL "preform sexual programming," but only if it's within mission parameters. 4.It is impossible to shoot someone from 5 feet away with two fully automatic assault rifles. 6."Future" weapons are simply spraypainted versions of their contemporary counterparts. 7."Future" armor can be bought at your local "Play-it-again Sports." 8. Your buttocks clenches when you concentrate. 9.In the future, cyborgs do not simply kill their enemies. They rebuild them. 10.In the future, cyborgs do not simply kill and rebuild their enemies. They rape them too.
You will go through this movie with a marginally amused indifference to everything that is happening on screen.

Take it for what it is....everybody's trying to be a critic...
sane12164 June 2010
Take it for what it is and it'll keep it in perspective for you. It's not J.J. Abram's Star Trek, Michael Bay's Transformers, James Cameron's Aliens or Terminator but it's a decently fun sci-fi action film. It's a low budget creative movie. The acting is decent, action is decent and the film pays homage to a lot of sci-fi classics. You have the super bad female soldier, the tough leader, etc. You'll even see familiar creatures and familiar space vessels from films like Big Trouble in Little China and Aliens as well as other creations.
I think one problem with movie watches today is everyone's trying to be a critic. They seem to have the false impression they could suddenly do a better job if given a low budget and actors to direct.
I'm not going to lie, it doesn't take a genius level to find small problems in the plot or decision making of the characters, but if you're not trying to be next Roger Ebert, Gene Shalit, or Leonard Maltin...you'll be OK.
I enjoyed the film and if you'r not a super critic you might too.

hansener-120 April 2008
I think IMDb is broken because i can't give this movie enough stars. Gratuitous boobies, awesome cgi, and unmatched story telling make this movie a must see for all lovers of space-marine based films. The dialog is gripping and well thought out. The story makes perfect sense and is actually quite believable for this genre. I could not have asked for a better film watching experience. The special effects are some of Quebec's best work that i've seen and rival that of Hollywood's best mid 90's productions. This movie is a must-see. The sound editing is especially phenomenal, not once did i have trouble hearing the dialog because the music was too loud. Cinematography at its finest. Never have I been more envious of an actor as I was during the "butt sledding" scene. it really looked like fun.
A modern Science Fiction/action serial.

Sure the film won't hold up in the graphics or acting department against the latest multi million dollar Spielberg or Lucas film... well, maybe if Lucas wrote the dialog in his film. lol.
But really, this series is a fun little gem. It's nice to know that there are projects like this one out there. And this one improves on the last one. It's concept seems simple, a low budget Scifi/Action serial in the vain of the 1930's to 1960's serials, which focuses on the "continuing adventures" of a few characters. Primarily around the Character of sharp, played to near perfection by Andy Bradshaw. The gruff and grizzled mustang lieutenant who does his job for humanity until he can visit the lost men and women of his command in the afterlife, against the evil alien menace which blew the earth into dust.
I love them, and I can't wait till the next one.

I saw the DVD cover for Recon 2022 in the local Blockbuster Video store. Mind you, I really do like to support independent film any chance I get. Unfortunately for me, I had to blow $5, and my evening to learn that the cover art was the best thing about this film. It was all downhill from there.
I can't even begin to describe what the "absence of acting" did to torture me, so I won't. The dialog resembled a collection of writings from bathroom stalls. And, after much suffering, for the hope that I might get a fraction of $5 out of this experience, a giant SOCK PUPPET entered the screen and attacked the characters. That won't even fly with 1st graders! With respect to your time and mine, I won't attempt to detail the plethora of flaws and abuses. Simply put, the most horrific elements (non existent) were: Dialogue, Acting, Story, and FX.
The fact that this caught distribution is so frightening, it should get a special trophy from Screamfest. I will retract my statements if it can be proved that this was a 48-hour film project. Anything over 72-hours and I sustain my comments. The best part of the experience was the long awaited closing credit sequence. Be warned! Save yourselves! Run from this title!
On a positive note, every filmmaker should have a new found hope of getting distribution and reaching the shelves of Blockbuster.

The director tried too hard
adrenachrome21 June 2008
Warning: Spoilers
The attempt here was to do a gritty space opera epic, written in multiple parts (this is a sequel, and the DVD promises another one forthcoming) and while this can be done (see the *original* Star Wars) well given the right talent and experience, it was not to be the case here.
I think the failure lies in the director trying to do more than he is capable of. Case in point: There is supposed to be pre-mission camaraderie amongst the soldiers at the local bar, but the director gave no motivation to the cast, and probably told them to "just wing it." The trouble with "just winging it" is legion, the acting becomes flat, the dialogue is stilted, the acting forced and rather than add to the film, it becomes a throwaway scene.
Sadly, most of the film is like this, throwaway scene after throwaway scene, until you are left with dis-jointed bits that may work for ~30 seconds or so, but can not, indeed, will not, ever make for a good movie.
Perhaps the director was following in Uwe Boll's footsteps and make spoof films on someone elses money, I'm not certain as there were no extras on the DVD giving insight into the motivation of the cast and/or crew, much less the director. Instead, we are forced to take this film at face value, a serious space opera, and as others have mentioned, the face value is utterly worthless.
The director is much like a captain on a ship. No matter what occurs, the captain will take the blame (or the praise if the film is good) even if forced to work with sub-standard material and doing his level best to rise above. Perhaps the writers were drunk when they wrote this, perhaps the camera crew were fighting over a woman the entire time. I don't know, all I know is what is presented to me by the director.
In the hands of a truly great director (Ridley Scott for example) this might have been a fun popcorn film, as it was, it was a waste of my rental money.
If, perchance, the director, or cast/crew should read this, do not take it personally, rather take it in the spirit as it was intended: Get some more experience, take the reins a little more firmly, do not be afraid to re-think/re-shoot scenes, and show us what you can *really* do.

As recent low budget "direct to video" scifi films go this is better than most
dbborroughs26 October 2008
Warning: Spoilers
With mankind pushed to the stars the result of a war with the Ma'har, its up to the soldiers to keep mankind free and alive. A small band of soldiers are dropped on Mezzo an ice world where the Ma'har maybe lurking. Sci-fi action film in the mode of a low budget Starship Trooper sort. Clearly made on the cheap the film relies on the characters to carry events and quite frankly it works. To be certain its a clichéd story with clichéd characters but at the same time it all comes together in a story thats entertaining. Unlikely to win any awards this is just a good little film that tells its story and then gets off. Better than many direct to video or SCIFI originals, this is the perfect fodder for an undemanding night in front of the tube. (and yes the effects are pretty good. There aren't a great many but what there are are choice.)
Horrible, but for some reason I watched the next one
mob_rules22 March 2012
Warning: Spoilers
I'm very open minded, but this movie was shot like a porn, without much actual sex. What can I say? Let's see, the enemies on another planet are using Vietnam era AK47s, people shooting at each other from 10 feet away cant seem to hit one another. Wasn't the floating creature with one eyeball toward the end stolen from Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China? I don't even understand why ut was added to the film since it only appeared once for a few seconds.
As bad as this was, it had some kind of hook that got me to watch the sequel? If you are looking fir Starship troopers or Aliens, don't look here. But, if you are looking for something to make you laugh or act as background noise while you doing something else, than this is it.

Like watching a paint-ball fight in a frozen Canadian rock quarry
randy_kay15 June 2013
Warning: Spoilers
So before I bash this movie, I have to say that for the budget which is supposedly $500,000, they did a pretty good job of certain aspects such as very resourceful and creative use of locations. I'm not going to bother reviewing it because there's not much to review so I'll just spout out some things I noticed.
I spent quite a bit of time in Montreal Canada where it was shot so I recognize the way the light looks and the fact that it was obviously shot in a snow-covered rock quarry in the middle of winter so I found that part quite depressing. All I kept thinking was how cold some of the scenes looked, like when they get covered in snow -- their hockey outfit/armour would get snow down inside it and soak their undies and neck warmers etc. Man that would be really miserable.
The script sounds like it was written by a 10 year old boy, full of the usual clichés like "We got company" and "Incoming", "Fire in the hole", There's basically no script, just snippets of cliché dialogue stolen from other classic albeit stupid movies like the second Aliens when Ripley goes to the planet LV-426 with a group of 'space marines' to see what happened. This movie tries to be like that like instead of a Latino Pvt. Vasquez from Aliens you have Carmen Echeverria as a little hot headed Latino except this girl's not much of a hot head, she just spouts dumb clichés, ie: They're in a gun battle and she yells out "Come to mama" and "We got company" and then a french hockey player guy yells out "Come to Pappa" before shooting an Alien.
After standing in the rock quarry, they come under fire from a spaceship that keeps trying to kill them and for about 5 minutes they just keep shooting bullets at it to no avail, even losing a team member until one of the idiots finally yells out "Carol, rocket launcher", and this chick takes out a rocket launcher and shoots the spaceship out of the air with one shot. Why did they spend 5 minutes trying to shoot it with machine guns when they had a rocket launcher? Don't ask any questions because your travelling with the Z-Team.
The soundtrack is almost non-existent, just a bunch of random hyper drumming stuff with the occasional obligatory chanting choir.
Again, some aspects were good for the budget but they should have spent even $10,000 on some kind of writer, and then they should have actually looked for real actors, like even local acting students if they couldn't afford to pay them and then perhaps this would have been watchable.
As it was, I got about 1/2 way through before switching the channel and watching some yuppies build a big McMansion on PBS instead because even that was more interesting and less predictable then where this movie was heading.
