Product Description

Amazon.ca

Civilization is destroyed in a nuclear war, but a couple of astronauts, safely orbiting the Earth, survive the holocaust. When they return to earth, they find a collection of cannibals and megalomaniacs--specifically an army brat and his followers. Critically panned, Def-Con 4 is actually pretty good (in a low-budget, post-Apocalypse-movie sort of way) and features a solid cast (Tim Choate, Kate Lynch, Maury Chaykin Lenore Zann and Kevin King). Written and directed by Canadian filmmaker, Paul Donovan, it has a quirky sense of humour that helps off-set the film's somewhat grim and intense atmosphere. --D.K. Latta

3.0 out of 5 stars Def Con 4 July 1 2004
By K Scheffler TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:VHS Tape
There's no denying that this is not the best of films, but despite this, I found it to be interesting to watch; filmed twenty years ago, it deals with a common concern of the time: nuclear war, and more specifically, human survival after such a frightful event. The main protagonist of the film is a crewmember of a (top secret) nuclear missle platform orbiting the Earth. Several months after the war, the craft is brough down for some unknown reason somewhere in Nova Scotia, Canada. Here they find a world that has naturally become much more primitive and dangerous, and survival inevitably depends upon adapting to this new unfortunate state of reality. Now, the movie certainly lacks a number of qualities: acting is mediocre, the screenplay quite cheesy at times, and over all the story isn't all that profound. But the movie is, like I said, interesting, because it is in a way, a reminder of the fears, concerns and expectations of what is now a bygone era. And for this reason, it deserves, in my opinions a third star.

4.0 out of 5 stars CONELRAD TOP 100 FILM Jan 10 2004
By A Customer
Format:DVD
First off let me state that I was very surprised and entertained by this B flick. I almost saw it in the theaters
in the 80's and wish I had, instead I went to see "Blade Runner", and the "Road Warrior" again. OK so it isn't on that level of movie genius. I can tell you something though; the reviewers who pan this film with 1 star are those who probably love a film like "On The Beach" or "Fail Safe", and who rave about a 50's communist made film like "First Spaceship On Venus". Not to say those (the first 2) are bad films, they are not, but in both films the ending is not happy. These reviewers HATE to see anyone live and try to prosper in a post atomic war. It could easily be a horrible film, but the plot and character twists and turns keep it on edge. It's pretty cool (at least to me) to think of a manned "star wars" space platform that comes back to an atomic ravaged world and the survivors stories afterward. Definite cult status and made the CONELRAD.COM TOP 100 (some big budget flicks didn't make it!)!

4.0 out of 5 stars DEF-CON 4...another perspective Jan 4 2004
By listen440hz
Format:DVD
Look, everything ther other reviewers said about this movie is true, but so is this: I like this movie alot. I've watched it again abad again for almost 15 years now. Yea, it's kinda B-rated (budget flick). But it's a cult classic, IMO. You've got to see it to appreciate it. Watch with an open mind. See if you can rent it 1st before you buy. If not, then ask yourself why this old, b-rated movie still commands a top selling price. See? This cult classic b-rated flick is endearing, extraordinary and mutated. :-) You'll really like it or you'll hate it. Good luck.
