Steel Tempest

just as 'plan 9 from outer space' is!

the plot is based on the battle of the bulge. the script is dire...'we need more ammo' blah blah is repeated endlessly. the 'actors' all seem to have retired after making this crap. bob carruthers has obviously got all the gear and props right, pity someone didn't splash out for some blanks for the guns as men pointing rifles without a puff of smoke or recoil is pathetic. its easy for me to say this is the worst ww2 film I've ever seen.

this is just a 'ooh look at all this ww2 equipment we have...lets make a feature film with it'

the film ends pretty abruptly with one of the most laughable banzai heil Hitler suicide charges...well i say charge, more like nearly a footstep!

Sorry, but I am a film and history buff (particularly WWII) and I can tell you this film is up and down. On the up side, there is a story and all the equipment is authentic, but there are many missing things. I was surprised at the end as it said the Ardennes offensive. Really? It looked like Spring (even summer) not the middle of winter. Then everything was dragged out and spiralled downwards. Attempts at action was low-budget and if you don't mind that, then you will enjoy the film, but if you want a great war film, this is not one of them.

Don't believe me? Check out the ratings. Better yet, watch the film and judge for yourself.

Only without the stars.the big budget,the 70mmSuper Panavision camera and stereo sound. The makers of this film use the same plot point about finding fuel and ammunition. This film is painfully low budget,badly acted and scripted.

Everyone involved in this stinker tried to make it a good film. You can see that even with low production values the movie was not to be a comedy but a serious project. I liked the look of the German uniforms yet they were not true to the history of the war. My review on letterboxed, the only one for this film says: The actual look of the Germans in this honest effort is ok for a film that is not so good. The film is not a joke and you can tell the producers and all involved were serious in making this not for prime time film. I did not like it much. It is in whole a piece of crap just like my review is. Do not have the flick and saw it on Amazon Prime.

I could write pages how bad this is, I love any war film but this is just dire. No story, awful camera work (good old clips though), dubbing awful, incorrect markings, and uniform save you time watch anything but this.
