Flight World War II (2015)

Ufff.... I can't believe I watched it actually to the end. I deserve 10 stars. I simply CANNOT imagine, on what kind of glue was the story writer. The "parachute" in darkness dropped from zombie airplane ? And English found it in minutes.. And after crappy fight with Germans, they used it right away? That's too much excitement... Oh boy....

Captain William Strong (Faran Tahir) is the pilot of a mundane flight to London, when Flight IR42 flies through a mysterious wormhole that pulls craft, crew and passengers into a World War ll war zone in 1940's France. Dodging anti-aircraft fire provides major turbulence and danger; Captain Strong is open for suggestions on how to get back to the century they belong and do it before the German Luftwaffe hits them dead on. Enter help in the form of a British radio Corporal Nigel Sheffield (Robbie Kay), who believes this outlandish situation can be reversed.Other players include: Aqueela Zoll, Adam Blake, Angie Dick, Blaine Gray, Matias Ponce and David Campfield.

Yes, the premise is derivative of the Kirk Douglas vehicle THE FINAL COUNTDOWN, but the multiracial cast is game, the story fairly suspenseful given the outcome is more-or-less preordained, and The Asylum's CGI work has progressed to the point where it doesn't interfere with your suspension of disbelief...much. My wife, niece and I watched it on Netflix the other night, and as soon as we saw "AN ASYLUM FILM" we figured we'd be switching it off in ten minutes in disgust - so the fact we not only watched the entire movie through, but were entertained by the experience, is quite a recommendation! Special props go to Faran Tahir's Captain Strong, an airline pilot so cool-headed under pressure Sully Sullenberger would be green with envy; and Aqueela Zoll's Tough Young Flight Attendant Cameron, who is just who you want serving you coffee when your plane time-travels to a slightly-changed for excitement WWII air battle! But everybody in the cast pitches in to sell the story, which is a pleasant surprise - like when Charles Band's people crank out an above-average bit of Direct-to-Video dreck like ZONE TROOPERS.

If your looking for historical accuracy ....probably not the best movie for you...what with all the time travel and fictional stuff :p but if your looking for a engaging time traveling movie this is your movie!! Felt the acting was good, the suspense was great...loved this movie. It held me captive the entire movie, glad its on Netflix cause I don't recall ever seeing any ads for this movie, but then again I don't really watch TV and stick to netflix. Would love to see more movies like this.I really don't understand the bad reviews, I think people expect far to much from some movies, and fail to see hidden gems in movies like these.
