A return to the bad old days of Sci-Fi Channel originals

[gtc83 · 2/10 · 20 April 2008]

A WASP air crew is ferrying a bomber to Hawaii in WWII. When they arrive, they're immediately ordered to take an officer and some secret cargo to an island in the Pacific. What could the secret cargo be? It's near the end of WWII, it's in a bomber, and they're going to an island near Japan? The only reason anyone watching this didn't guess the cargo immediately was that they gave the writers too much credit for originality. Surely it couldn't be THAT obvious? Yes, it is. As they're flying over the ocean, they encounter bad weather and are attacked by pterodactyls. Hmmm...WWII, bomber, giant flying creatures, where have I heard that before? Maybe in Reign of the Gargoyles, which Sci-Fi aired a few months back? Anyhow, they make an emergency landing on a small island, and battle a couple of Japanese soldiers and a hoard of pterodactyls for the remainder of the movie.

A women's air crew that's been working with each other for a while could have been very interesting, a lot more interesting than a male air crew - give the women some credit! But no, the things that come out of these people's mouths are just dumb and obvious. The lead female absolutely can't accept the fact that there are secrets during war and she's not allowed to know them, which puts her at odds with the officer throughout the movie. So basically we get 60 minutes of arguing. The rest of the female characters are as interchangeable as their bright red lipstick and '40s hairdos. Having characters argue throughout a movie is the cheapest of cop-outs when it comes to dialog. There's only the thinnest veneer of character development, and it just gets darned annoying after an hour of listening to it.

The worst part is that the characters dress like it was 1945, but that's it. What draws a person in to any drama set in the past is the difference in culture and attitudes. It's 1945, the Japanese have bombed Pearl Harbor and we're at war with them, and yet the lead woman is horrified that we might drop an A-bomb on our enemy. "Thousands could be killed!" she exclaims. Oh good grief. Three hundred thousand Germans were killed in allied bombing raids, yet this is the first time it's occurred to her that bombs kill people? The Women's Airforce Service Pilots only existed to free up more men to fly combat missions - to kill more of the enemy. Thousands of them. Why would she volunteer for such a thing if she's horrified at the notion of the enemy being killed? People in 1945 were too worried about how many of their sons, husbands and boyfriends were being killed by the Japanese to engage in this politically correct nonsense anyway.

The CGI is also bad, and the direction is just sloppy. One of my favorite scenes is where they load a bunch of 55 gallon fuel drums onto a truck. Do you know how much one of those things weighs? A little under 500 pounds. Yet two people load them into the truck with just a small amount of feigned difficulty. They arrange them in such a way that as soon as the truck started moving, the drums would all roll out the back. But of course they don't, the magic "this is just a movie" forces holding them firmly in place.

Overall, extremely weak character development, the blatantly obvious PC version of 1945, crummy effects and pterodactyls that quite honestly bored me. Better luck next time Sci-Fi Channel.

Another Sci Fi Channel "Classic"

[bobwildhorror · 4/10 · 20 April 2008]

Another in the seemingly endless series of Sci Fi Channel CGI monster movies. If you watch the channel at all, you know the type. A bunch of clichéd characters are stranded in a remote location and menaced by computer generated creatures.

I'll probably hate myself in the morning for saying this, but the effects here were above typical Sci Fi Channel fodder. Which isn't to say that they were convincing. They just didn't look like rejects from a Nintendo game system.

The plot tries to have some social relevance, masquerading as a tale of militarism vs. humanitarianism. That said, the mechanics were often forced. And some of the acting was painful to watch. In all honesty, I may be giving this film a higher score than it deserves, as I didn't see the first half (which means the entire setup and reasoning behind the monster infestation).

But even if I am right, and this wasn't as bad as a many of the channel's previous crimes against humanity, I'm still forced to ask who it is that greenlights such films? What happened to the notion that great Sci Fi meant great ideas instead of ineffective monsters?

amazingly bad, even for the sci-fi channel

[davidm-14 · 2/10 · 19 April 2008]

i can hear the production meeting now: "we've had too many 'people stuck on an island with a monster' movies. how can we freshen it up"? from what must have been the lengthy brainstorming session that followed, here comes the result. i know, let's show women wearing bright red lipstick and put some pomade in their hair. that way, we know we're in the 40's during WW2! here comes sci-fi channel's magnum opus "warbirds". an all-girl flight crew (with a few men along for the ride) are piloting a super secret something-or-other across the pacific when they are attacked by a big bird and forced down on a mysterious island. they meet up with some Japanese soldiers, who are also stranded and attempt to figure out what's hunting them at night and how to escape the island.

W.A.C.'s vs. a whack script

[MartianOctocretr5 · 5/10 · 9 August 2009]

Flying dinosaur creatures, Japanese spy soldiers, American GI guys, pretty W.A.C.'s who are hot shot pilots, a mysterious covert mission; put them all on a remote Pacific island during WWII, and stir vigorously into a broth called Warbirds.

It's a mindlessly fun watch, since the film suffers from Sci-Fi Channelitis. A familiar plot: military fighting a conventional enemy, while ferocious monsters lurk in the shadows, soon jumping out and croaking soldiers from both sides. A lot of jargon is used in this movie: when they're not saying, "Roger that!" or "Over!," they're being insubordinate to a cog-in-the-machine military brass Colonel whose last name is "Inept," or at least it should be.

Why are the creatures there? How many? What are they? Unknown and never explained, but the supply of them never runs out. Every time anybody wants to fly a plane, these things swarm out of nowhere. Their CGI design is OK, but far from groundbreaking. They screech loudly while they slash and smash anything they see. The dogfights are hilarious: when one of them is shot, it explodes into a fireball, lol. Since this movie doesn't know if it's a war movie or a monster movie, it has cornball clichés from both. Example: Whenever the opposing soldiers confront one another, guess what flying monster crashes the party at a key moment.

The ending is pretty colorful, but its depiction of what happens is (and I'm putting this nicely) inaccurate.

Plenty of suspension of disbelief is necessary for this movie. A sense of humor for the sublimely nonsensical is also helpful.

Have I seen worse? Noooo!

[gray1937-1 · 1/10 · 29 April 2008]

The plot premise and the CGI aren't all that bad. However, the plot development is atrocious. The WASP skipper can't take a single order without an argument. The "warbirds" out fly 300 MPH aircraft. They don't attack the Yanks in the Japanese camp after the first encounter -- they're scared off by the boy scout campfire? Gimme a break. They don't attack the B-29 under repair. Oops! We're fixing those two incinerated Wright R-3350-23 and 23A turbosupercharged radial engines with spare parts found laying around on a remote Japanese fighter base? Oh, and all the female flight crew just happen to be certified fighter jocks who are checked out in Japanese Zeros... yep.

I can't believe that people write this kind of crap, expecting to sell it, and I really can't believe someone bought it and spent more money producing it, and I really, really can't believe Brian Krause doesn't make enough off "Charmed" residuals to run yelling and screaming far, far away after reviewing this script.

I rate this a "One" simply because there is no "Zero" (pun)! You have to really wonder if the Sci Fi Channel would not be far, far better off rerunning old '50s B&W "Saturday Night at the Drive-In" features. Could somebody with a little clout make this recommendation before these guys self-immolate?

This movie should start out with a suicide warning...

[kiawa77 · 1/10 · 8 August 2009]

I don't know where to start. Some sick part of me enjoys the self-torture of the Sci-Fi/SyFy Originals, but after this one, I don't know how long I can hold on. I have limited knowledge of WW2 (I sucked in history), but even I knew this stuff was made-up! The Japanese guys had an American truck, and somehow the American women knew how to fly Japanese planes? Come on. And somehow they were going to fix their big broken planes with junk from a mostly abandoned Japanese camp ripped apart by blue pterodactyls? To add insult to injury, I don't care how big the dino is... it can't fly as fast as a plane. While watching the movie, I didn't know the planes topped out at 300mph, but I knew it had to be faster than any flying animal! The worst insult to my intelligence was the "fact" that the pterodactyls were fearless in ripping through planes (literally), which had loud engines, whirling sharp propellers, and of course someone in them shooting giant bullets at the monsters... and yet the dinos were terrified at the sight of a torch. A TORCH. Come on.

I have literally read stories written by children in grade school with better and more well-planned plots than this. This Sci-Fi Original took its usual crap writing, crap acting, crap effects, and gigantic plot holes and somehow managed to make a mediocre movie even worse than usual. While watching this, I had the same feeling I get when I'm getting a cavity filled, thinking "God, how much longer is this going to go on?!" There is absolutely nothing redeemable about this movie, not one thing. There isn't any humor, any effect worth mentioning, nothing. It's completely worthless. If you see it on your schedule or think about renting it, do yourself a HUGE favor and just pass it by.

At least most SciFi original movies are funny...

[adynomoose · 1/10 · 19 April 2008]

Not so with this one. It's just painfully bad. Brian Krause is the best actor in this dog and that's really saying something. Something not at all good.

The premise promises plenty of laughs (WWII airwomen and soldiers stranded on an island of killer dinosaurs and Japanese soldiers), but the writing takes itself entirely too seriously, as do the painfully, painfully bad actors. The woman who plays the skipper is beyond dreadful. Whoever approved this POS really needs to reevaluate their career. Seriously. I consider myself a bit of a connoisseur of Scifi original movie cheese and even I couldn't stand this thing.

Unspeakable.

[dmphil · 1/10 · 20 April 2008]

Like many of the other commentators, I love made-for Scifi-movies and how could I resist "Dinosaurs Vs. WWII" as a plot summary? I should have. It was crap. Bad acting, bad effects, bad script, and bad directing. Even the costumes were garbage. The whole thing might have been salvaged if the actors/directors hadn't taken themselves so seriously. The movie would have actually been fun as a tongue-in-cheek thriller, but they insisted upon acting as if dinosaurs fighting lady-aviators in a Pacific atoll was high art. If there is a merciful God, Scifi will put this turd back in the vault and never speak of it again.

Gag!

[Mr. OpEd · 1/10 · 20 April 2008]

I like to get to the positive first: the women's hairdos are actually fairly accurate for the 1940s, at least if the women were the Andrews Sisters and if they were part of a USO show and not hotshot fliers. The men's hair is at least short, if not regulation. The uniforms are just about OK. Small arms are OK, too, though I thought I saw a few non-1911 US pistols (all guns are wielded with a rather devil-may-care, who knows which end the bullet comes out of, attitude).

I was actually hoping that Warbirds would hark back to the old DC comics where wise-cracking GIs would battle creatures that "Time Forgot." Sure, some of these comic book dinos were blue, orange, or pink, but they were FUN.

Not so, Warbirds. There is only one kind of dino, it's a pretty blue, and it's pretty boring. These must be super birds, though, as they can catch up to a 330mph fighter!

Sci-Fi original dialog is usually some variation of The Bickersons and this is no different. Does the lady skipper bicker with the male commander? Yes, over virtually everything. Piloting zeroes against flying reptiles? Bicker. Revealing what the super-secret mission is? Bicker. Complaining that this "secret" weapon will kill too many of the enemy? Bicker. Oh, and at this point, the word "genocide" comes up. Genocide was bantered around by combatants in WW2? I don't think so.

And every line of bickering is spoken as if someone has gotten something personal caught in a zipper: clenched teeth, hissed words, glazed stares. Again, de rigueur for Sci Fi Channel stuff.

Back to our flying dinos (which only hunt at night, or daylight, or dawn, or dusk, whatever the dialog needs to be). They are deathly afraid of campfires but have no problem flying beak-first into four Zeros with a combined firepower of eight 20mm cannons and eight 7.7mm machine guns (not to mention four whirring propellers).

The special effects sometimes approach the quality of the CGI used in Dogfights. Sometimes, but if you're looking to be wowed by effects, the channel IDs for the Sci-Fi channel put this movie to shame.

There are a lot of annoyances, like the American commander finding a Japanese poking around the B29 and letting him off with a warning. A truck filled with fuel drums lying on their sides, careening away from the dinos, and the truck's tail gate is down the whole time (the drums don't budge, let alone roll out onto the road). And at one point, two of our hot-dogging fly gals stop their escape from the dinos to reminisce about dead friends.

With only ten minutes to go, I was so numbed with Warbirds that I switched the channel to Fright Night, which I'd already seen earlier in the day.

Putrid

[agarfan · 1/10 · 20 April 2008]

Being a masochist I continue to watch the crud the SciFi pumps out but this one may have been too much even for me. Plot holes the size of the Grand Canyon and factual errors so huge show that you do not need talent or imagination to write for SciFi. The monsters in this are actually a few steps above the usual basement quality effects they churn out but other than that there is NOTHING to recommend this movie. Script and acting are so bad I'm surprised the actors used their real names. Once again the SciFi channel has made me appreciate a film like 'They Saved Hitler's Brain' and perhaps someday they will be able to rise to that level if they put more effort into the project. Obviously written in one afternoon by people who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a word processor.If the founding fathers had seen this coming they might well have lost the Revolution.

"Cheesy but enjoyable in minor ways"

[simon-trek · 11 September 2011]

I admit this movie isn't very good. The visual effects and the acting are poor. The only thing I really liked about this movie were the female pilots. I like the idea of a group of beautiful female pilots during the second world war. I liked the heroine of the film Maxine West, she is as pretty as she is tough and resourceful.

I also liked the fact that Brian Krause plays an Air Force Colonel. Because the role Brian is most famous for playing Leo in the Charmed TV series. For those of you who haven't watched Charmed, Leo is a whitelighter for the Haliwell sisters in Charmed. Whitelighters are guardian angels for good witches. And Leo was originally a medic for the U.S. army during the Second World War, he was suddenly killed in a battle and in heaven became a whitelighter. So in Warbirds Brian plays another WWII character but this time he plays a soldier.

The flying dinosaurs are scary but aren't very realistic.

While the female pilots do have some action in fighter aircraft. It wasn't as intense as I hoped. So I only recommend Warbirds if you like the idea of seeing tough and pretty women in action. But don't have any good expectations about this movie.

Lipstick At The Ready !!

[carolynocean · 9/10 · 16 May 2021]

I really enjoyed this one !, Of course I did'nt take it seriously, just went along for the ride ..........It kind of felt like I was reading a comic book , only the pictures were moving . Set during World War Two, a handsome Colonel , female pilots whizzing about , flying dinasours , all on an island in the Pacific !

Lots of action , bad script ,( delivered just as badly ) , but I did'nt care !

I was amused ..........I need to know one thing though ..... What is that brand of lipstick those pilots were wearing ??????? Amazing staying power !

.

Illogical popcorn movie about female pilots battling flying dinosaurs is as cheesy as it sounds and a great deal of fun

[dbborroughs · 7/10 · 22 February 2009]

Made for Scifi scifi war film set during WW2 about a group of female fliers who normally shuttle planes from place to place being pressed into service in order to transport a an officer, his men and his secret cargo to a secret island. Along the way bad weather they are forced down on to an island by a storm and something else. Upon landing they find that the Japanese are on the island and so is some flying monsters who are very hungry.

Goofy offbeat story of the sort that was done best in the 1950's or in comics actually plays pretty good in that vein assuming you accept it for what it is. Lets face it this is is a monsters vs planes story and as that this is a great deal of fun. Is it perfect? Oh lord no (Among other unanswered questions-why is an American truck on a Japanese held island?), but it is the sort of thing to curl with and just sort of have wash over you. Perfect for a night on the couch

So awfully bad I kept hoping it would improve so I could at least laugh AT it

[bob_obob · 1/10 · 20 April 2008]

Apparently, advertisers only look at the trailers any more.

The trailers for this stinker made it seem like it might be interesting. Trouble is, none of the scenes in between were as good as dead air would have been.

Production values - it looks like this movie must have been made with a budget that rivals some high school productions.

Here's your spoiler: There was at least one scene showing one of the characters reading a comic book. The writers should have read more of those for story ideas.

Every time any plot twist had an opportunity to choose the cliché route ... it does.

Whatever !

[merklekranz · 5/10 · 19 April 2009]

Like "Mighty Peking Man", this movie makes no sense, but fails miserably to be boring. Look beyond the baaaaaaaad acting, the immense lapses in logic, and there are some truly comic tidbits to be cherished. The monsters seem to change size at will, the makeup never smears in the tropic heat, and the 40s hairdos a tad stylish for the military, the amazing plane restoration with no parts or tools, no one seems to eat anything, the South Pacific island looks suspiciously like your local park............ I could go on and on, but wait there is one more thing, the lead actor looks like he could take 6th place in a Bill Paxton look-alike contest. Maybe I better end it here before I keel over laughing. - MERK

Could have been great, as it is it isn't.

[poolandrews · 5/10 · 8 September 2009]

Warbirds is set during 1946 during the Second World War as America & Japan battle it out, female bomber plane pilot Max West (Jamie Elle Mann) & her all female crew & told to get ready to fly a B-52 across the Pacific ocean containing Colonel Jack Toller (Brian Krause), his men & a top secret cargo. While in mid-air a storm breaks & the bomber is forced to land on an island, with their plane badly damaged the stranded soldiers need to repair it & it just so happens that there is a Japanese presence on the island with all the equipment needed. However it also turns out that dozens of huge prehistoric flying monsters inhabit the island & like to eat humans. Once sworn enemies the Americans & Japanese have to work together to repair the plane get off the island before they become dinosaur food...

Written, co-produced & directed by Kevin Gendreau this is yet another Sci-Fi Channel 'Creature Feature' that they seem to have an endless supply of, however I thought Warbirds was slightly better than the average Sci-Fi Channel disaster. There is a smattering of intelligence here with a good World War II period setting, nice tension between the American & Japanese soldiers & a big moral issue at the end which plays on actual historic events but unfortunately the positive is more than matched with the negative as there's zero gore, an all female flight crew who after spending days on an isolated island still have bright red lipstick & perfect hair, a nonsensical plot which the prehistoric monster multiply very rapidly with no explanation, the idea that they only attack at night & for some reason only one at a time & the fact that not that much happens. Personally I don't think Warbirds is a total no hoper but with no gore & some silly clichés I can't really describe it as anything above average. The pace is alright & there are one or two decent moments particularly in the air as the monster attack fighter planes but alas they are few & far between. If you like Sci-Fi Channel films (if such a creature exists) then you might like Warbirds but if you don't then there's nothing here to change your mind.

The special effects vary, I actually thought some of the scenes set in the sky with the monsters attacking planes looked alright & better then expected for a Sci-Fi Channel film. There's absolutely zero gore, there's no blood & minimal death, disappointing. In fact some good gore scenes might have pushed Warbirds slightly above average rather than just below it. Also there's no way they could have lifted those barrels full of fuel, I have worked around those 200 odd litre barrels & when they are full they weigh a ton. Fact. The period equipment, costumes & general feel is quite good & the production values seem better than usual for a Sci-Fi Channel flick.

The IMDb reckons Warbirds had a budget of about $1,500,000 which probably went on the period setting & one or two half decent CGI computer effects. Apparently shot in Louisiana. The acting is alright but not brilliant from no-one I have ever heard of.

Warbirds wasn't as bad as I expected but still didn't quite make the grade for me, a total lack of blood & gore doesn't help nor does the failure to build on good ideas. Maybe worth catching on telly for free but don't spend anything on it.

Boring!!

[haddesah · 1/10 · 23 April 2009]

This was one of those movies that are made on a cheap budget with bad actors and bad dialogue. My husband and I made some coffee, curled up on the couch, and looked forward to a good movie. Well, what a disappointment!!! We know that the movie 'Killer Tomatoes' was the worst movie ever made ~ well this we voted as the 2nd worst movie ever made!! The acting was appalling, the dialogue was really corny and cheesy, in fact we could have written the script better ourselves. We cannot believe this was only made in 2008 ~ how did it pass as a movie? We have seen better old black and white movies that are still entertaining, but this 2008 movie 'Warbirds' was not entertaining at all. Very weak indeed!

Why do Japanese have a US truck

[dkelly33 · 5/10 · 21 April 2008]

Warbirds is evidently a low budget SciFi movie. This type movie that was popular in the 50's when I was a kid. I noticed that the Japanese military truck had a white star on its side and US military identification on its front. It seems that it would have been very easy to cover these up. I guess that everyone just overlooked this error while making the movie.

One has to suspend belief in viewing movies. I caught several discrepancies in the movie but it was entertaining and for a low budget flick was worth watching. It is nice to see some WWII flicks still being made. I found the female pilot to be very attractive and intelligent.

This means war!

[TheLittleSongbird · 1/10 · 25 April 2012]

Warbirds from the premise actually seemed as though it would be an interesting movie. But as it is with most SyFy movies, it was the execution that sank it, with the only redeeming value being the performance of Brian Krause. The costumes and what not also don't look too bad but I never found them properly authentic. The dull lighting and opposite-from-slick filming don't help, and I'd also say the same for the lazy direction and the artificial-looking and un-menacing(though there are definitely much worse around) monsters. Warbirds suffers further from a banal script full of cheesy jargon and clichéd lines, stereotypical characters and a dull, predictable story where suspension of disbelief is necessary. The acting apart from Krause is stiff and unemotive, in short pretty terrible. All in all, really bad, not one of SyFy's very worst but of the ones seen in the past month Warbirds was one of my least favourites. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Meh

[dhyouse · 1/10 · 5 February 2017]

There are films that are so bad that they're good, c.f., ""Plan Nine From Outer Space"or "Terror of Tiny Town"; this one doesn't rise to that level - it's just awful.

The one dimensional sets are matched by the one dimensional acting. The concept of a female bomber crew or fighter pilot is alright in the 21st century but far our of place in WW2. The producers might have researched some of the WW2 details for their depictions of pilot communications. Throat mics were in wide use but they did not contain a switch on the mic itself to transmit. On switches were either floor mounted buttons or a thumb button on the yoke. While official radio procedure requires an "over" at the end of transmission, this protocol simply wasn't followed in combat. The hand to the throat followed by "how are you, over" and "I'm fine, over" got old real quick.

Rated 1 only because 0 isn't an option.

Hot babes!!! Flying dinosaurs!!!!! What more could a guy want? Well...

[Phillemos · 4/10 · 28 April 2008]

...some excitement would be nice. I gotta admit, this movie was a disappointment. True, this flick is typical SciFi Channel Original schlock. But given that I have a soft spot for attractive women and dinosaurs, I thought this would be a winner if for no other reason than the cheese factor. But it was just dull. An American WWII mission ends up with an emergency landing on a desolate island where some Japanese soldiers got ambushed by some killer pterodactyls. Then the Americans get a taste of Pterodactyl Pterror, all the while trying to get their planes off the island and making sure the Japs don't take advantage of the situation. The problem is, there's not enough pterodactyl action; the movie really is more fixated on the WWII angle. The pterodactyls make their presence known but at times they're a secondary plot device to the "secret mission." Hot babe Max West (Jamie Ellen Mann) and her superior Jack (Brian Krause) spend too much time arguing over whether the mission is worth it. The other girls -- Betsy, Vicky and Lana -- serve nicely as eye candy. However, the scene where green galpal Hoodsie volunteers to attempt a solo mission off the island because she supposedly weighs less than Max is a joke, because Hoodsie looks like she needs to go see Jenny Craig while Max definitely takes care of herself. When they are fighting the pterodactyls, this movie is entertaining. But there's just not enough of it. I won't give this a 1 like most people have, because this is definitely better than most crap SciFi channel puts out (i.e., "Kraken: Tentacles of the Deep," "Hammerhead: Shark Frenzy"), but "Warbirds" is only worthy of a disappointing 4.

An amazing movie for the open minded

[trpsrhc · 10/10 · 20 June 2023]

This is by far my top favorite dinosaur movie. I've been looking for vile language to criticize and so far have found none to report. The music is stellar, and I found the storyline (pre dinosaurs) very plausible. The characters completely engaged my wandering attention. The conclusion of the movie, which, if it is based on a true story (as I strongly suspect it is), would explain why no evidence of the action would be easily found.

What if dinosaurs got on Noah's Ark and some still survive in remote places? Even the mainstream scientists admit that only a fraction of the natural world has been adequately explored and documented. Jonathan David Whitcomb's "PTEROSAURS OVER AMERICA" also lends credence.

Excellent work! Very thankful for the privilege of watching such a masterpiece!!!

Delightfully stupid, but...

[rcoulam999 · 6/10 · 5 December 2021]

Surely any WW2 plane would be able to fly much faster than a pterodactyl.

I have a certain amount of respect for those who came up with such a ridiculous idea for a film.

Egads

[Anysia_C · 4/10 · 24 April 2008]

SciFi Channel Original Movie: Jurassic Park + Amelia Earhardt + Pitch Black + a pinch of WW2 = Warbirds 2008.

I would have to call it a "Good bad movie", as most of the acting is cheesy, and there is only one type of boring flying dinosaur.

The dialog is filled with so many over used clichés, and homilies, you would do well not to be drinking anything while watching it, as it can be truly laughable. What was even funnier, was their repairing their plane out in the open, with barely guarded prisoners, falling for the "Oh I feel so faint!" ruse from one of them. And how the heck would a Japanese soldier know what a Geiger Counter was,and why it was clicking?! Yeah, like they would all miss the other guy sneaking into the big bomber plane. Yeesh! It was good to do a "MST3K" while watching it with friends.

But I do wonder how all these female pilots, out on an uncharted island, in harsh jungle conditions, keep their ruby red lipstick, and don't even chip a nail, after a few days. But I do like how the "Skipper" saves the Colonels' butt on more than one occasion.

Seen better acting in blue movies

[Jas-91 · 1/10 · 22 May 2009]

What can anyone say about this film? No words exist for how much i hate this film. My dog could write a better film in five minutes. Some people may enjoy this and that is your own taste. But i doubt anyone would like this film. Its like the whole film just tried too hard. The actors over acted by miles. They really thought they was staring in the next massive upcoming film. And for them i feel sorry. As for the storyline... I would believe button moon is more real then that. I just have nothing nice to say about it. The only thing i am going to do now is write to the writer and ask for 2 hours of my life back or some form of payback...
