Every time I go to Blockbuster I make sure to come back with a low-budget movie I've never heard of, with the specific purpose of trying to find hidden gems and in my ever ongoing search for the worst movie of all time (so far no film has bested Manos: The Hands of Fate in that search). Power Corps, or Recon 2020 as the version I rented is called, is a low-budget sci-fi film shot in what appears to be an abandoned factory complex. The plot is a rudimentary sci-fi one, a group of marines is sent to investigate some problems supposedly caused by a hostile alien race. Lines are stolen from various sci-fi films, most notably ALIENS, a film which is borrowed from ad infinitum in the sci-fi world. The dialogue is terribly written and not very well delivered and the action is poorly choreographed. You'd think that low budget film-makers could at least try to deliver a mindless action film sans any real plot, and that they would have learned to avoid the disgustingly cheap CGI and go for the practical effects.The film isn't totally unbearable if you like this sort of cheesy, low-budget, rip off of every sci-fi film ever made, movie, and it couldn't hurt to have a sense of humor either.The worst part of the movie is that its supposed to take place in the future, but the abandoned factory that they shoot most of the scenes in has graffiti all over it and bares about as much resemblance to a high tech colony/facility as a mud hut looks like a skyscraper...Bad, but not enough to make me sick/suicidal, Manos still reigns as the worst film ever made...

I have never been so utterly disgusted with a film in my entire life.The entire movie I maintained the same expression-- brows furrowed, mouth hanging open, eyes squinted in disbelief. It is a blatant INSULT to the entire effing planet that some sociopath ignoramus decided to bring this torturous abomination to film. During the movie, you will want to vomit so frequently that you will want to make sure that you stay clear of any therapists for a week; they'll ask if you're bulimic. This vile, stinking, pile of garbage is basically about these idiotic military troopers who battle sci-fi monsters on an alien planet. And that's as far as the plot goes. All of you sad souls trying to give the movie little bits of credit, of approving nods... were you an acid? Perhaps in some pitiful, desperate attempt to be "cool," the movie had a few nude scenes. The first was right after opening credits, and this is when I suddenly realized I had begun to watch one of the worst movies of all time. The guy and girl appear to be on some metal platform in space, and for the love of god, I must say... pure shame on whoever was in charge of the backdrop for this scene, it made me want to stab my eyes out. Can I be any more clear? If you value your sanity and want to stay out of the psychiatric ward, stay away from this movie. If you see a DVD of it, help make the world a better place and set it on fire. If the store that was selling the DVD catches on fire too, then it serves them right for ever having the notion that this movie was worth ANYTHING.

Oh, my God. I can't believe I wasted my free movie rental coupon on this sorry excuse for a high school fantasy! I barely watched five minutes of it before asking my wife for the remote to turn it off.Stunned silence followed - and a never ending feeling of hopelessness as I thought of all the ways I could make this disc unplayable for anyone else. A half-naked sex scene just after the credits, terrible sound quality, bad lighting, bad acting - the list is endless of overt mistakes. The first and foremost being the writer and director ever being given actual money to make this garbage. If I were the production house, I'd ask for a refund.Save yourself! Don't watch this movie!!!

I've seen a lot of excellent as well as a lot of very bad movies. This is without question one of the very worst movies I have ever had the misfortune to rent. It was so bad that I actually watched it to its completion because of the uniqueness of being witness to such horrible film making. I experienced an almost overwhelming desire to slap the director, producer, actors and everyone associated with the making and release of this bomb. If you have never experienced those feelings then watch this film. I can not recommend this movie to anyone except someone that is such a die-hard sci-fi fan that they absolutely must see each and every release or else perish.
