Recon 2023 – Review
Recon 2023 is the third chapter in a cult style B- sci-fi film series. The story continues after 20 years of intergalactic war, humanity must make a final stand against the Ma’har invaders. Lead by Lieutenant Sharp (Anderson Bradshaw)(A Brotha!) a rag tag of misfits must seek out and destroy the enemy super weapon. In the deserts of Gauda Prime, the Lt. and his team face off with zombies , mutant creatures and really bad dialogue. Good times!
When reviewing sci-fi I take a broad approach looking for key elements that quantify a film as first science fiction, then as a good movie. Recon 2023 went through this same scrutiny and came out by the skin of its teeth with three stars. Lets start with what I call the visual matter that normally can make or break a sci-fi film, the special effects . Recon 2023 gets a gold star for it CGI and overall costume and effects, the second component of a good sci-fi film is thematic concept, this movie earned a silver star for what was a combination of different sci-fi films. Impartial to watching a movie just for the sake of saying its bad or good isn’t my style but some how you are in or out when it comes to the script and the characters in Recon 2023 . so far the film has earned a gold star a silver star, and in the holiday spirit I give this film a big fat lump of coal . The spectrum of cheesy one liners combined with cheap porn flick scenes wrapped in generalized sci-fi tech jargon makes bad sci-fi look good .
So yes the last paragraph was rough but I still say its worth watching , a good idea would be to pop it in, order pizza, grab some beer, and throw a party, or  throw on some tunes and use Recon 2023 as visual background to a killer night . This is Bradley Malcolm Xavier, B.M.X. to the Xtreme with his review of Recon 2023 that’s two stars and a fat lump of coal Merry Kwanza and Peace Out.
