The worst movie that I have seen in several years. Not interesting enough to watch to see how bad it is. Your time would be better spent knitting while listening to old Lawrence Welk broadcasts. It is unfortunate that the star of Staship Trooper had to stoop to this level. The only redeeming value was seeing an SR71 in action although it made only a limited appearance. This films budget should have been donated to the Haitian relief effort. I saw the movie on Cinemax during prime time slot. How a pay cable channel plans on staying in business with this kind of presentation in the seven pm time slot is beyond my understanding.
Good seeing some actors from other movies I have watched. I usually like to try and remember what other films I have seen them in as I watch most movies. Was as good as many movies these days. Better watching than so many I have watched lately, free anyway. I was Air Force so it was fun seeing the Blackbird used as a prop , since it is long retired these days. I was in 15th Reconnaissance Squadron at March AFB, producing Bombing Charts back in the early 60s and the SR-71 came into being after I was discharged otherwise I would have been using some of its Aerial photography to make my bombing charts, Grady Overstreet.
This is totally awful,in fact so bad that Plan 9 from Outer Space becomes a masterpiece. Why Plan 9? The interior of the super plane resembles the flying saucer set of said film.MFI comes to mind. The whole film looks as though it was made for less than 1000 dollars.What has happened to Casper Van Dien? Brilliant in Starship Troopers,here looking old, tired, bored stiff as you will be on looking at this drivel, this once promising actor has lost his way,plus the usual crackpot performance from Brad Dourif.Does he know no other style of acting? As for the rest of the cast, nothing can be said in any ones favour. There is also no excuse now days that a film is made for TV. Many are better than the current load of multiplex crap ie Real Steel,The Three Musketeers and Johnny English 2. Just catch recent TV made Sci Fi movie The Lost Future (2010) to see what i mean.Enough said.
This was broadcasted by commercial TV RTL who apparently have the distribution right and released it in Holland a few weeks ago. We estimated the movie to be from the '80's or earlier given the pathetic "special effects" (well, they were special - I'm sure my two 11 year's old nephews could have matched the computer art work easily). But it appeared to be brand new. The acting looked like it was some kind of parody on something but as nothing was funny we think it wasn't. The story, ...never mind. Goofs are sometimes hard to find but in this movie they are just common. The writer must never have been in a plane let alone the cockpit of it.
The 4 is because it's so bad that you should see it to believe and that makes it funny in a way....

As soon as I saw Bob Vance from Vance Refrigeration working as an air traffic controller.... I had a serious bad vibe
Did you know
- TriviaPatrick Muldoon and Casper Van Dien worked together -and played opposite to each other- in "Starship Troopers".
- GoofsAt the beginning of the film, when the plane is - according to the pilot - flying at 25,000 feet, the landing gear is down and the flaps are extended. This is the typical landing situation (low speed) and not cruising speed.
