Jet Stream

There are obviously terrible movies than this, but this is a complete loss of the precious and valuable time, It's not about big cast or anything, but rather more critically about how you make a decent film, it doesn't make any difference if it's a B Movie, You can watch it only when you're drunk that might give you a jet lag with a jet stream.

A fundamental problem with making a film that will appeal to everyone is the danger that it will appeal to absolutely no one . This low budget production entitled JET STREAM and filmed in Bulgaria is a case in point . It tries to mesh in several genres such as disaster epic , conspiracy thriller , satire on the media and a bit of romance . It does nothing well and quickly becomes tiresome

JET STREAM sets out its stall how bad it is going to be right from the opening scene where an American airforce Major is in contact with an US military plane conducting an experiment . What will strike you about this airforce Major isthree things

1 ) He is somewhat overweight

2 ) He doesn't have a US military regulation hairstyle

3 ) He obviously hasn't shaved for several days

When a director gets little things like this wrong in the opening scene what hope for the rest of the film ? No hope at all as the film lurches from one underdeveloped theme and scene to another . You might have some fun pointing out the ridiculous scientific mistakes in this film but that's probably the only fun you'll get from JET STREAM

The other reviewers have got so much of the more abysmal moments in this really momentous movie, (sticks fingers down throat), that I didn't think there was much more I could add, but surprisingly before I got totally bored with it and flipped to ST the original series, there was a classic scene, where a soldier was electrocuted and the "hero" TV weatherman dived in to check his pulse at the speed of light, before promptly going into CPR, which he patently knew nothing about as he replied, "I got this man, I saw it on Baywatch", well that was the second thing that had me rofl today and I was the first thing.

It probably didn't help the poor guy, flashing his brilliant white teeth and clean cut jaw, lying, to explain where he really was to the blond bimbo he was dating, sorry feminists, but she really was and probably still is and since she is Barbie the airhead he most definitely is Ken.

I finally gave up when the Major re-appeared again, out of sync, the continuity was as abysmal as his haircut and thought enough is enough, I can stand no more, my brain will become as jellified as the crew.

45 minutes of STOS I can cope with, but the studios are going to have to up their game, to impress me and maintain my attention these days.

I will attend the formal burial ceremony, if I can join the celebrations at the wake afterwards. :) R.I.P.

On Sunday nights, we like to watch bad disaster movies. Ice storms, volcanoes under major cities, tidal waves taking out Wasington D C. We are there! This was about average for what it was. Would I watch it again? No! But it was a fun way to waste an hour and a half on Sunday evening. The special effects and cgi were not bad. Most of the cast was irritating. The worst were the girlfriend Barbie in a suit and the major. My husband was in the air force and this guy was the worst representative of the military I think I've seen on film. That hair and facial shrub would have never even begin to cut it. The filmmakers should have tried a bit harder there. If you are a fan of this kind of film you could find way better but I'm sure there are worse as well.

It's movies like Jet Stream that make you wonder how Syfy manages to spend hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of dollars on each of their movies, and still get phenomenally bad results.

Jet Stream suffers from very bad writing, leading to cringe-worthy dialog in a lot of the film. For some reason there's quite a lot of painfully bad jokes too, and it seems they couldn't have been times worse. Add on to that the wooden acting by an extensive part of the cast.

The CGI is just not convincing at all, everything looks very poorly and amateurishly done. The sequences that are meant to thrill the audience just look ridiculous, laughably bad at times. I also counted a couple of completely unnecessary close-ups.

This is one of the many movies in which Syfy tried to disguise Eastern Europe like the USA, and here they did pretty much the worst job of all their movies I've seen so far. Not to mention that there are countless shots in this, which Syfy has recycled and used for multiple movies. Really, the only positive thing there is to say is that this movie may make you laugh at how bad it is.
