Plot Synopsis

New Mission. New Planet. Same Attitude. At SCI-FI-LONDON 3 we screened RECON 2020, a low-budget effects movie from Canadian, Christian Viel. With a great story and cast, it was a stunning achievement. Christian is now back with the second instalment, RECON 2022: THE MEZZO INCIDENT.

Two years after the events of RECON 2020: THE CAPRINI MASSACRE, Sharp has been promoted to lieutenant and leads a brand new unit of tough, witty and trigger-happy space marines through the perils of Mezzo, the hostile ice planet, on a mission to destroy an underground Ma'har facility.

What they encounter there defies their comprehension as they tackle giant man-eating snow worms, an underground city of Cyborgs, a slew of murderous alien entities and maybe, finally, the ever elusive Ma'hars...

Hey, don't worry if you missed the first one, this movie stands on its own too feet with a compelling story, amazing effects and very cool bad guys. However, be warned that a likely side-effect will be the extreme urge to see the first movie.

The film stars Anderson Bradshaw (GOTHIKA), Carmen Echeverria (UNDRESSED) and Deke Richards (PAIN KILLER). Battlestar Galactica, Space Above and Beyond? If you like action/sci-fi do not miss this movie.
