niall q Struggling to find a redeeming feature. Lead actor does his best I suppose with a completely clueless screenplay. Lots of absolute Poundland CGI. They appear to have gotten access to takes or outtakes from the Battle of Britain (1969) and used that to sequence some of the CGI combat scenes. If they'd asked or better employed some expertise in this area they'd have discovered the 1969 movie didn't have access to actual Gerrman fighter planes and instead passed off Spanish Buchons as roughly approximated Bf109s. They've also fed their "supercomputer" images and film of multiple versions of Spitfires in different RAF schemes and liveries - many of which weren't available or in use when the film is set. If any of this seems nitpicky ask yourself who's most likely to watch a film based on this subject but those who evidently take more of an interest than those who slapped this mess together. I've seen more compelling episodes of Neighbours. Seriously, ...Neighbours.

Don't waste your time watching read a book Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/25 Full Review Sylvie C Fabulous cast and well crafted historic film Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/07/24 Full Review Donna S This is 1.5 hours we wont get back. Possibly made for the rest home demographic, as a take on 1950s films. Incredibly cheesy quotes "Its better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all", interspersed by soft focus close ups and Gone with the Wind sunset shots. The "21"year old lead hero - the quiet spoken Irishman seemed lost for words, rather than a deep thinker. The best character was Bluey the red headed Australian. Overall a WW2 story that wasn't a story. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Lachie H With abysmal to generic dialogue, a score that could put a baby to sleep and horrific camera work, this film is arguably a stain on the memory of the Shamrock Spitfire. Drinking game idea: every time someone looks up and turns their head to look at spitfires, take a shot. It'll be the only way to enjoy this film Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review Michael C I confess: i only watched 1/2 of the TRAILER and knew it was bad. The actors are a mix of real and AI, or if not AI, then they've been in some terrible accident and have had facial reconstruction done by a twelve year old using silly putty. Don't get me started about the planes. I've seen better playing X Plane. Can the filmmakers x-plane why on earth they attempted to make a period film on a used car budget? If you decide to go ahead and watch the second half of the trailer--or, worse, the entire film--all I can say is watch it wearing a friend's prescription eyeglasses, or through the bottom of a glass of whiskey--make that a double.
