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.
