This isn't one of them.
It's more of an insult. The wooden dialogues, the cardboard settings (did I actually see some of the 'actors' glancing sideways to read their lines??).
The "special effects", well let's not go there.
If my 12 year old cousin (I don't have one, but bear with me) would present me with this film, I would be very impressed. And I would wish him well in his future as a potential director/screen writer.
But this actually got made and released, and that's quite an insult to the year 2020. And to movie viewers.
The movie itself;
I could only watch ten minutes of it before turning it off. The production value is poor. The aircraft on screen are radio-controlled aircraft kept at a distance. The acting is stilted. Line deliveries are poor with no real attempt at accents. What frustrated me was the set design. It was clearly done on the cheap. The 'cockpit of the B-17' is just a black cutout. If you look behind the pilots, you can see where the facade ends.
From what I understand of the story, the Germans are moving a train loaded with materiel for their rocket-powered Komet and jet-powered Me-262 facilities. Intel has intercepted where the train is going to be at a point in time and want the train destroyed with precision bombing. So they send a lumbering B-17 bomber with just two crew-members, only one is an actual pilot, a fighter pilot in a P-38 squadron. The other is his brother, a trail gunner in another bomber squadron. And both decide to go on this mission together because-reasons. Why not send P-38s or other fighter-bombers to go after this target? Well, the squadron is out on another mission.
Then ask another fighter-squadron if they can do it! Why send a single B-17 into Germany with no fighter support and only two crew members? This may be January 1945, but Germany is still putting up fierce resistance.
That's where I ended it. I couldn't go any further. If they're not going to put forth the effort, why should I?
Where do I begin? From start to finish, the acting was less than the village amateur dramatic society would have reached on a bad day. The 'effects' were cringe worthy at best. The script was appalling. I could go on, but I've lost the will.
Let's look at a major aspect of the 'story' line: the aircraft. All aircraft in this 'movie' are radio-controlled models. No attempt was made to disguise this in any way whatsoever.
The 'German' train/locomotive is nothing less than an obviously American steam loco, and still shows it's American 481 insignia. Later in the movie, a child's toy train set is used to show the train crashing an exploding.
Amazingly, for WW2, the 'German' locomotive engineer/driver is able to make instant radio contact with an American Bomber aircraft, asking him not to bomb the train.
During a discussion, a German SS officer describes distance in Kilo's instead of Kilometres. So he actually describing weight instead of distance. Stupidly written dialogue. The same can be said of a German officer using the phrase, "Turn-on-a-dime", which no German would have ever used. All aircraft cockpit views are just a few badly riveted metal frames, and are no better than a cardboard box. A British pub/bar is nothing more than a few planks of wood, nailed together, as are some of the German Rocket Factory offices.
During an 'Air Raid", German guards can be seen rushing out and randomly shooting at absolutely nothing. In a London home, there's a telephone on the side that doesn't ring, but the 'British' guy picks up the phone anyway and answers it with "Hello"
The list could go on and on, but the bottom line is, this is one terrible movie, and probably doesn't even rate worthy of a Rotten Tomato Award.
