Flight World War II

There will be a lot of reviews pointing out the historical inaccuracies and errors made within the film, and I won't refute that. When viewing for the first time I expected these faults in the writing and took them into account. It isn't the worst movie of all time, nor is it the best. The acting is sketchy and the graphics are average at best, but that's not what this flick is for. Of course there are things wrong with it, but that's the point. The film wasn't made for the purpose of historical accuracy, but as a simple sci-fi, action picture that would provide 90 minutes of entertainment. But when you see a description of a passenger aircraft from 2015 travelling through time to 1940, what did you honestly expect? Not a horrible movie, I'd recommend it to anyone who likes basic action and a bit of corny drama.

This movie has been available for some time through a couple of streaming channels, and was always reluctant to watch it, just the premise and title screamed "bad B movie". Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised, it was by no means a great movie, but it kept me interested enough to finish it and it wasn't completely insulting to one's intelligence. The real payoff was the very ending if the movie. It's not often that even a high budget movie surprises me, but this movie had a very nice surprise at the end that made the whole movie worth watching.

It was a low budget movie with loads of goofs and factual rubbish but, nonetheless I did enjoy it. If anyone has ever seen The Final Countdown (1980), the plot is very similar to that but in an aeroplane, not a battleship.

Nice final scene too. Made my spine tingle a little bit !

I have to say that I expected "less" going into this. But it was a cold day and gray outside. I felt that since it was mid day I would watch something I could easily nap to and not stress about missing the show.

No napping took place as the movie has a smooth pace and a tension filled, techy and problematic storyline that keeps you tuned in to see what happens next. That said, you will find this movie is low budget but the acting and activity are really good. I felt that if I had seen this on TV one night I would go nuts talking about it at work the next day.

So if you like WWII "Stuff" and your in the mood for something not filled with smooching, heavy violence or drugs you will indeed find time well spent watching!!! Be sure to pay attention so you don't get confused at the end.

Full disclosure. I like airplanes going back in time, ie 'The odyssey of Flight 33.' Well done for low, low budget. No spoilers here. It deserves some praise.
