Product: Def-Con 4 (1985)
Rating: 1.0
Def-Con 4. Total Turkey, even for a B movie
This movie gets one star because the war sequence itself, from the perspective of orbiting astronauts, is actually quite intense.The film itself? Retarded beyond description. "Mankind can now rest in piece". Yeah. Mmmkay.It only took a whopping two months after a full nuclear exchange between the superpowers to reduce Newfoundland to an irradiated landscape of cannibals and slave camps. Come on now.The astronaut who's wife was in Detroit (which you get to see nuked on a heat-sensitive camera) just 'happens' to survive? Come on now.Everything about this movie is hokey, all the way down to the pitiful acting and blatantly unrealistic conditions.If you're looking for a more provocative and believable film about the post-apocalyptic world, get "Threads".
