World War Four

Veterans watch military movies to find the mistakes they make. I was wondering if someone would ever make a movie with nothing but military mistakes. Aside from the stock footage of actual combat, everything was a mistake; uniforms, combat formations, radio lingo, gear, weapons, handling weapons, calling air strikes, more uniforms. You'd think by now, people would stop getting uniforms wrong in movies. This one is so bad, you'd think it was satire but it's not.

The battle scenes in this were probably cut from real battles. Then comes this unbelievably ridiculous plot line, with some of the worst acting I've ever seen. Don't waste your time. Watching paint dry would be more interesting, considering the story line.

There may have been a worse movie, but I'm not sure what it may have been. Don't waste your time. Only reason I gave it a 1 is because I couldn't give it a 0.

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.

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 🤔
