24 Hours to D-Day

Well, I expected a real bad movie, and was not disappointed:

• All CGI shots are included in the trailer, and they are from old videogames.

• An absolut minimum amount of sets was used - Eric Roberts is only in the one "war room".

• There was a lack of extras, so typical troop size is about two or four soldiers.

• External shots with rented equipment are expensive, so close up, interior or the woods
• Anyway, they had one real VW type 82!

• Pathetic speeches
• poor dialogue
• there was some story. Never mind.

Various newsreel footage was added, of course not connected to the campaign area.

The entrie movie feels like ideas from famous stuff put into a blender - maybe AI - to generate a very generic plot.

If you watch it: its an example of minimal production costs, without good story or dialog, maybe very good as exercise for film students.

Not a bad story about a squad determined to plant a beacon for full paratrooper assault on Ste Marie Eglise as part of the Normandy Invasion. A lot of detail went into this less than accurate historical drama. Hardly any worse than the Dirty Dozen. Just not the big names. The costuming is good with no noticeable errors. Even Kubelwagens add to the authenticity. Several intense moments. The one flaw, the terrains. The landing area is mostly flat land and farms with hedgerows and without dense forests. Perhaps if rthe acting were stronger it might compete with Battleground if the there was an actor equal to Vic Morrow.

To sum it all up because it's not worth more energy...: Bad filming, bad acting, bad script, bad movie props, bad clipping, bad data generated scenes.

Shouldn't even be listed under war movies because it's so fictional that it does even bring anything to the story.

Without revealing anything from the movie but a general fact... Telling classified information over the radio 24 hours before D-Day? Script makers should have stayed in the History classes or just watched some good war movies themselves.

Should have known when the king of bad B-movies plays a general.

Avoid this at all cost, complete waste of time. I registered here only to warn you and save your time.

Low-low-looow budget movie, I mean they could not afford to have even enough actors! Everything is bad, corny plot, poor acting, early 2000's cgi effects, stupid, stupid unlogical scenes. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

How they got Eric Roberts here astonishes me, but even he cannot save this.
