Recon 2020: The Caprini Massacre

About This Movie

Recon 2020: The Caprini Massacre offers a gritty snapshot in the action and science fiction genre. Soldiers get dropped into the hostile environment of Caprini, facing off against a cadre of villains that are straight out of a fever dream. The pacing has its lulls, but when it picks up, you get some solid practical effects that stand out for the time. The performances are hit or miss—some folks really try to chew the scenery, while others play it straight. There’s definitely a B-movie vibe, but that’s part of its charm. Themes of survival and camaraderie are hinted at amid the chaos, but it’s really all about the spectacle and the oddball characters you meet along the way.
