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 wasnât all that bad actually! Despite being nothing like itâs cover art or promotional material that is! It isnât the first to do so and probably wonât be the last though. The storyline of Def-Con 4 is flimsy, and leaves a lot to be answered for and itâs 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 âCanuxploitationâ cinema it was clutching at straws trying to cash in on the Post Apocalypse era but kinda missed the boat. Itâs effects and certain shots however are quite good at times and the film by no means leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Itâs watchable, but as with Dead End Drive In, it just doesnât offer a whole lot, even when thereâs stuff going on it still manages to be somewhat flat. Itâs 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 canât pick fault with! Overall, Def-Con 4 is a decent watch, just donât 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
