World War Four

I have absolutely no idea what the story of this film is meant to be. There is basically almost zero plot or character development. It just seems to launch in to military conflict with no explanation whatsoever. That conflict is illustrated by huge amounts of stock footage stitched together with no consideration of continuity. A flight of aircraft is supposed to be over the Black Sea. But this changes to the Baltic - and then back to the Black Sea. However, the planes are shown over desert, then snow covered mountains, ocean and somewhere with palm trees.

The planes themselves somehow metamorphosize from Danish F-16s and RAF Typhoons into USAF aircraft. They are shown attacking what is described as a "Mig-23," but obviously is a F-18. This then changes to a Mig-21 - and then gets shot down when it turns into an American QF-4 drone.

This must have been the cheapest movie in history Avoid.

Making a dramatically-successful film primarily from stock footage is a nearly impossible task. Unfortunately, this film proves that.

There are some genres and worlds in which it's easy to spot mistakes, and military films are one of those genres. Much of the non-stock military scenes in this film get things so very wrong. Research, please. Build a look-book so you know what looks right. Example: the naval officer with a goatee. Nyet, comrade.

I really want to cheer for low budget indie filmmakers, but you can't cheat your way through making a film. Lay off the stock footage, get your details right, and of course cobble together a great story and a great cast and you'll end up with a good film.

Terrible acting, stupid plot, I'd rather die of covid 19 than watch this movie again.

OK it probably deserves 1 star but in a generous mood today. Terrible acting, nonsense plot and I am only halfway through the movie writing this. Just can't stop watching it for some strange reason 🤔

This was a waste of 80 minutes. The acting was horrible and the plot was ridiculous. I only watched to see how it would end and was further disappointed.
