Softwing
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

How sad is this?

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Here's the thing I absolutely love B-Movies, horrible movies, and movies most people wold be embarrassed that they like. This movie just didn't get me. I couldn't go with the flaws. The synopsis says a "Few months later"... OMG it was like 30 hours later and already there are cannibals, new societies, people unable to bathe... I tried to ignore it but then it just got worse. Outside of the fact that radiation wold have wiped most out, well I just couldn't buy it all... and I tried. Bad, bad, bad...not good bad, just bad.

*Spoiler/plot- DEF-Con 4, 1985. Several survivor people try to live and socialize in a post nuclear war scenario. Some are good and some are very bad in their efforts.*Special Stars- Lenore Zarin, Maury Chaykin, Kevin King.*Theme- Man must regain his society after the nuclear war to survive effectively.*Trivia/location/goofs- B & W European. *Emotion- A very dark film with amateur productions values for this simplistic plot and franchise genre. post nuclear war society 'what- ifs'. The acting is fine, but the plot gets lost in the very un-lit camera scenes taking place at night. The violence is very gratuitous and bloody. Some sex scenes are un-necessary and look to be shallowly added for box office sales.*Based On- Post nuclear war scenarios.

Two men and a woman circle the globe in a satellite armed with a nuclear device.The third world war breaks out, and a few months later the satellite crashes. They survive the crash but one man gets killed by survivors and the other man gets caught.The woman stays by the remains of the the satellite but is soon caught by evil punks who have taken power.....Another on of those so called cult movies, because no one really bothered with it when released, and has a really cool DVD cover, but little else to talk about.It's a sound idea, being in space whilst a war erupts, and then coming back down to the aftermath, but thats where the writers stopped having great ideas, and decided to steal from other apocalyptic movies....very badly.There are lots of better movies out there that reference the aftermath of war, Land Of Doom, World Gone Wild, and Mad Max, are prime examples of how to make a fun movie, this just maunders on until the dour end.I wouldn't bother.

I bought this film at a used movie sale. I remembered the title and the poster from way back, and for some reason I had it mixed up with another apocalyptic flick called "Twilight's Last Gleaming". Also I saw the name Tim Choate. I recalled he was "Zathrus" on the show "Babylon 5". I should have saved my money. Very poor production values, although the orbital weapons platform parts looked pretty good for a bad film, the rest of the film is hazy and crappy, and poorly lit. There is no real dialog, it is just bad. The film was made with Canadian Government tax dollars and they put in several things to show the flag, like the weirdo in the kilt who made booby traps with Canadian Government issued Social Insurance cards. Go figure! The characters are terrible, the acting is laughably bad, this film just stinks. You can't even say that it is so bad it's good, it is a lazy effort that makes no sense at all. And Tim Choate's best work was on "Babylon 5" under all that make up.
