In honor of the masterpiece television show, Twilight Zone, Flight World War 2 is a good film filled with believable characters facing a situation where fantasy becomes reality.
A few points that stood out: In the opening sequence, the US Army soldier is reading a newspaper with the headline "Megalodon". For those who blast the film for inaccuracies, bear in mind it is a world where 900 foot sharks swat battleships like ping pong balls. This is the production company's homage to itself and it made me chuckle.
When the Army soldiers subdues the group of men who want to take the fight to Hitler, the sergeant makes a good point about how seemingly the odds are in favor of those from the future, but one mistake could deliver 21st century technology into the hands of the Nazi's. A valid point and well delivered by the actor.
In general, solid acting. The friendship between Faran Tahir and Matias Ponce was quickly established and believable with Faran delivering a strong performance throughout. And I hope to see more Aqueela Zoll and wish her well for her career to develop and to land some lead roles in films with broader circulation. Her acting throughout was steady as she played the young, but strong stewardess. Through the entire film, I do not recall any hammy lines or acting on anyone's part that was not on par with a quality film.
Flight World War 2 is a science fiction film along the lines of Twilight Zone. Against the modern grain, this film does not have loads of action. Instead, it is steeped in tension and does cause the viewer to ask, "What if ...?" What if 75 years of R&D in avionic, computing, telecommunications, fabrics, lighting and electronics were delivered to our ancestors? The airplane alone is a boon of technology, but the 200+ people and their personal belongings and knowledge of social and economic history would have an unimaginable impact on our past.
Ultimately, this movie serves well as a science fiction romp. It delivers tension, good acting, and does open the conversation to what alternatives the past would have if the movie ended differently.

Ghost Rider is a lot of things. My friend loves the comics, but I never got into them. I like your more basic comics like Groo or Spider-Man. This story would seem to be right up my ally as I like spiritual stories, but I know enough about the Marvel universe to know that Mephisto is not the Christian Devil, and this is why I cannot find any comfort in this story.
My main gripe is Marvel's version of the Devil. With the Living Tribune, what is the concern for all those souls, other than to sell comics to those who confide in this story type. Marvel might as well tried to script their own version of the Illuminati, which Cage was involved in, coincidentally.
In the case of this film, I liked my friend's stories more. The image of a man on fire, able to wrangle in demons with a chain lit on fire, seemed better in mind than in my eyes. Quite honestly, the CGI was so transparent that it edged on "Uck" status. Not sure how a camp used a technology that would not stand up against a few years time.
The story was thin, which was comparable to Constantine. All in all, thanks, but I'll pass.
