Spitfire Over Berlin

This is a competent but boring movie, largely because it has nothing original going for it, nothing exciting or interesting. The effects are way below standard, acting passable but not great. Story itself is bare bones and without imagination.

I'd probably give this 3 or 4 stars, but minus points for the annoying (and very obviously fake) reviews... a terrible idea, since it will ultimately make your score lower.

Apparently it was made on a tiny budget, oh it shows. It is definitely not a Hollywood blockbuster, don't expect too much of it.

Yes, there probably are many stories to tell to honor the pilots flying in WW2, but this, well, it is just plain boring, there is no content. The CGI clearly visible after the first couple of seconds turned me off immediately. Would better CGI and a wellknown actor have made it better? No, because there wasn't any content or story.

The story is nonsense. The technical basis impossible. The cgi of the plane no better than a cartoon. This is a truly pathetic representation of one of the most iconic machines of WWII and the men who flew them. How does something as poor as this get funding?

Really dreadful.

Being a indie film producer myself, I admire that this team at least got distribution on this. In today's very critical audience (you can see by the rude comments here) either you have at the very least, a 2 million dollar budget, or don't film. This film might have fared better just doing film festivals and maybe getting a streaming service to pickup. The storyline is good, but yes, today's sophisicated audience is brutal if you are not using Hollywood "Industrial Light & Magic" level CGI as they can tell. It is sad and if this was released back in the 60's or early 70's, it might have gotten a pass. I admire the filmmaker for working with what budget he had, and who knows, he might make his investment back and thats all that is important. Critics may gripe, but at least they paid to watch it somehow and that is all the investors care about.

I am the co writer and co producer of this work and I am proud of it, despite its flaws.

My son, Callum, and I have worked very hard to build a business that produces low budget entertainment. We work from our family home in a spare room and don't earn a great deal from it, but we love film and we love working together and that's enough for us.

Reading some of the reviews on here is hard to say the least. However, we're strong enough to take it.

We didn't set out to make a flawed film. We set out to make the best film we could. The tiny budget, our lack of experience (we continue to learn and try to improve) and time restrictions did the rest.

My first reaction to reading some of the reviews on here was to get angry and hit back with a ten out of ten review of my own. Upon reflection, I don't need to do that. I know how hard the tiny cast and crew worked on Spitfire Over Berlin. Many of them are my family and close friends and I love them.

That's all that matters at the end of the day.
