    Not even bad enough to laugh at

    Some movies are so bad that you actually enjoy them, laughing at the silliness, preferably with some alcohol involved, and friends.

    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 Village Amateur Dramatics Society rents a video camera, to make a movie.

    This has to be the worst 'movie' that I've ever seen, and if that's what the people who made this 'movie' were hoping to achieve, then they have succeeded beyond all expectations.

    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.

    What IS this?

    A dreadful production. I've seen better work from middle school students.

    Dreadful film

    Possibly the worst film I have ever seen. The special effects department must have had a budget of around £2, and the acting is just awful. I've seen puppet shows with better acting.

    Awful

    As a War Film, it is painful to watch.A flying B-17 with the sound track of a Cessna? All flying scenes appear to be those of a first time RC operator. Major continuity problems when two man B-17 crew bail out and unexplainedly shows up in Britain. German Train Engineer has a radio and talks in English with B-17 Crew? A better Title might have been. "It Gets Worse". The Script is hard to follow until you accept the pointlessness of trying.
