Def-Con 4 (1985) 2 months after world war 3, Howe, Jordan and Walker are forced to come down from a space station to earth. They must try and survive after being captured and make a life of a somewhat inhabitable planet. Def-Con 4 wasn’t all that bad actually! Despite being nothing like it’s cover art or promotional material that is! It isn’t the first to do so and probably won’t be the last though. The storyline of Def-Con 4 is flimsy, and leaves a lot to be answered for and it’s pretty consistent in that throughout, but it does have a main narrative that it sticks to, which is escape on a boat, and that about wraps it up. Part of the ‘Canuxploitation’ cinema it was clutching at straws trying to cash in on the Post Apocalypse era but kinda missed the boat. It’s effects and certain shots however are quite good at times and the film by no means leaves a bad taste in your mouth. It’s watchable, but as with Dead End Drive In, it just doesn’t offer a whole lot, even when there’s stuff going on it still manages to be somewhat flat. It’s a strange mix that combines some concentration camp dictatorship with Mad Max and a sci fi low budget Rambo... but the soundtrack is good! Chris Young who worked on Hellraiser, Drag Me to Hell and Pet Semetary is here and present on this with an atmospheric score that I can’t pick fault with! Overall, Def-Con 4 is a decent watch, just don’t read too much into the cover art or the story. Take it for what it is, which is average throughout and enjoy a flimsy story of bad heroes from space! #DefCon4 #DefCon4Review #ArrowVideo #ArrowVideoReview #Omareviews #PostApocalypse #80sMovie #80sBMovie #BMovie #Canuxploitation #ChristopherYoung #SciFi #SciFiApocalypse #BMovieReview https://www.instagram.com/p/B63T2BQlw1_/?igshid=oswqdrkqydxw
