I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Too much of everything

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Sorry, even if you are a history, sci-fi or WWII airplane buff steer clear of this one, regardless of the high amount of interest the plot-line might suggest. No amount of creative license can make the tidal wave of incorrect historical references and events in this movie plausible.The piloting, as well as the mechanical aspects of the aircraft, are so far off the beam, I could simply no longer stand to watch it. (I won't even start with the "radar" technical impossibilities). The acting/actors were mediocre at best, but this film contained so many historical inaccuracies I just couldn't get past, that I barely noticed their collective performances.To start, one two-second burst from a WWII era, Messerschmitt 262's quad 30MM cannon would have reduced the Boeing 757 to a flaming wreck, before it instantly plummeted to the ground. (I think this jet took about 800 hits and kept right on going). Even a highly armored, ruggedly built Boeing B-17 of that time could not survive a short burst of this type of firepower, let alone a passenger jet. Further(disregarding the incorrect date/time of the 262's appearance in the European theater) they flew at around 400 knots cruise speed, with a top speed of about 600 mph. They did not have the capability of overtaking a 757 flying at its top speed. (But they DID have the maneuverability to actually pull out of a dive. See picture- laughable).As to the piloting; trying to pull a 757 out of a high speed dive at an altitude of 1000 feet would have resulted in two things: a high speed stall, and impact with the ground. (Even if it only carried the 12 passengers the low-budget set showed). They threw it around the air like a P-51 Mustang. By the way, there were also no fighter vs. fighter aerial dogfights at night during WWII, nor were the piston-engine (RAF) fighters then capable of overtaking, out-climbing, and shooting down ME-262's, as shown (at night) in the movie.Again, in spite of a plot-line that would make WWII gamer's overly excited, just so many implausible/incorrect/technically deficient presentations of technology of both 1940's (and current) time periods the movie becomes a parody of itself. So many in fact, I cannot begin to skim the surface in this short review. Too bad, as a more accurate version with a budget higher than the $29.95 used for this one, could be a sci-fi blockbuster.

What a truly abysmal film this is.The plot is a great idea in principle, but dreadful acting performances and dire story line make this one of those films that makes you think why the hell did I sit through this rubbish until the end.Just a few examples; a Boeing 757 commercial jet outmanoeuvres a world war 2 fighter plane. The same 757 is impervious to bullets from several fighter planes and rockets. The action scenes are comically poor. A plane that holds 170 passengers seems to carry only 20.I can't figure why some reviewers on here actually think the film is good, there is nothing good in the whole 88 minutes, except maybe when the credits roll and it's finally finished.Utter rubbish, don't waste your time.

It's up there as being one of the top ten of the worst films we have ever seen. It's that appalling it's comical. The whole film is just set on the plane which wasn't obvious when reading the initial synopsis of the plot. We howled with laughter at the appalling acting; don't miss the German soldier being shot and his great death scene it's hilarious. Also the grinning, smiling and back patting of everyone at the end. This is despite the fact that 2 passengers had just been tragically sucked out of the plane. Waah and the captain's final slow motion saunter in slow motion to music as he leaves the plane at he end had us creased up :)Avoid it at all costs. Just get drunk instead ;)

It is not that bad! You and I have turned allot worse off - switched channels...! It is B movie but done very well! Like B movies from the 50's but with a bigger budget.The acting is real- no over the top - you cannot be serious you got a job as an actor, Acting! AGAIN it is a B MOVIE!Who cares who made it-Company-backers, respect what it is!I never watch TV- follow "corp feed bs". But when someone does good work regaurdless of what they were handed. I think respect needs to be had! No I had nothing to do with this film- know anyone involved!I just know a good B Movie!AGAIN IT IS A B MOVIE!
