Andy F Excellent film without too much of the hamminess that can spoil war films of the sixties and seventies. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review John R Certainly it wasn't "as it was", but some of the reviews are laughable. This film is a good starter for learning what war, and particularly the battle to stop Germany invading the UK, was all about, with little glorification and many of the horrors of warfare. The soundtrack is also very good and the "battle in the air" track exceptional. Yes, it was what was, at the time, an all start cast but that only promotes how important was the movie. For those who seemed incapable of discerning between Luftwaffe and RAF uniforms and aeroplanes, a little background reading wouldn't go amiss. After all, you only really need to look at the pictures, which should be within your scope of abilities. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review CodyZamboni Z Watchable WW2 tale. The control of the English Channel skies is waged, As told from British and German sides, Top caliber cast seems bored, The air battles are confusingly edited, Except for one, The final one, It contains hardly any dialogue or sound fx, Just a stirring, exciting orchestral score playing, The music makes the scene work, Other major demerits, movie's overlength , And the unnecessary subplot of a love affair between Christopher Plummer and Susannah York, Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Gerald D Utterly dreadful, boring movie. The airplane sequences were sometimes exciting but much of the time it wasn’t even clear whether it was the Germans or the British/allies. Very thin plot, poor continuity. A waste of some A-1 talent like Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine. The worst movie I have seen in years. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review A S Decent film, but hobbled by some of the tropes of the era. Worthy of a watch and still decent regardless. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review John M A little light in character development but overall gritty and dramatic enough to echo Churchill’s “ Never before in the field of human conflict has so much been owed by so many to so few “ iconic statement. Superb aerial combat set pieces. The music score was adequate but a little repetitive., But overall absolutely worthy of your time to see it.
