Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe British RAF did in fact operate the American-built Consolidated B-24 Liberator. They were ordered in 1940 but were only operational with the RAF from 1941. The RAF used the Mark II Liberator primarily in Coastal Command and Bomber Command (as depicted in this film), but also for carrying heavy cargo. Most of the aircraft were based in Britain and operated over Northern and Western Europe, but they also saw service in North Africa and the Middle East.
- GoofsWhen Capt. Kirk was discussing the upcoming mission under the wing of his B-24 Liberator aircraft, a modern VOR antenna was seen on the fuselage. The aircraft must be a still-flying example of this great aircraft, but this equipment was not invented until in the late 1950's.
Featured review
Rather Disappointing
I don't want to flame South African cinema. I've enjoyed several releases from there. I also love a good World War II flying movie. This one lost credibility with me.
I can forgive the CGI flight scenes that look like they came out of a game. Original planes from that period are far too rare and valuable to use to make a movie and special effects don't make a movie. The story makes the movie. Unfortunately the story is what let me down.
There is a phenomena called "suspension of disbelief" in a movie. Unfortunately they literally shot suspension of disbelief quite early. The cliché evil SS officer just blew it away. His actions were utterly illogical. His men didn't point out how his actions directly worked against the Third Reich winning the war.
The evil SS officer was the worst but it wasn't the only logical failure. Over and over I kept thinking "Why would they do that" and "What a wasted opportunity." I sincerely wish them better luck next time.
