This is the new kind of writing. No depth, just to make a silly point. It's all about gender politics, so best is to skip this brainwash material.

Plot is insanely stupid, horror - nonexistent and writers clearly have deep hatred for men.
Moretz is stuning and brave, she can fix everything, shoot enemy planes and can beat monsters in hand to hand combat... On the contrast, all male characters act like incompetent idiots and talks like scum. Because, you know, every soldier in WW II was a masogynist. Don't waste your time on this trash. This movie is not one of those "so bad that it's good", it's just bad. Really bad.… Expand

Heureusement, nous aimons bien la gracieuse Chloe Grace Moretz et par ailleurs, on n’a vraiment pas le temps de s’ennuyer lors de ce huis-clos dans un avion, un huis-clos à tendance… quelque peu fantastique, ma foi. Mais à vrai dire davantage fantasque qu’autre chose, et surtout très désordonné et foutraque, car ici le stagiaire qui fume la moquette s’est occupé de l’espèce de scénario à deux balles !

En vérité, il s’agit de la réalisatrice et d’un autre cave mais passons… parce que ça fait de la peine ! on hallucine devant tant de conneries qui se succèdent sans s’arrêter pendant une heure vingt et tout cela avec le plus grand « sérieux » si j’ose dire… tout au premier degré le machin, combiné qui plus est à l’agenda féministe à la mords-moi-le-zob.

On ne sait plus pourquoi on regarde ça, sans doute à cause de la curiosité, des effets corrects et de la réalisation de bonne facture… mais franchement on hallucine total devant tant de conneries à la con : un pur produit des SJW (Social Justice Warriors) à la petite semaine !… Expand

Usually a movie has at least oneTotal rubbish. If you enjoy movies with wildly implausible action sequences, inconsistent story lines, zero character development, and frankly no notable features at all, then this is the movie for you. Usually a movie has at least one redeeming feature, such as well choreographed action sequences. Where the hero somehow manages to dodge a slew of blades, claws, bullets or explosions in a way that demonstrates skill or luck. Or perhaps there is useful character development that unpacks internal emotional struggles that the protagonist needs to grapple with. This movie has none of that. In fact it is remarkable in how unremarkable every element of this movie is. Perhaps the movie would be enjoyable if combined with some sort of recreational drug. That may elevate it to the level of mildly tolerable. Failing that ... best to use the time for something else.… Expand

I rarely wanted 1,5 hrs of my life back as much as after watching this.. It's basically an hour and a half of sticking to men while they just stand on the sidewalk with open mouth. I thought first that the music might be fitting, but more than 1 point in the film it was more distracting than fitting. After the mystical element was introduced with the gremlin, I expected the package to be somewhat connected to that. The movie would have been better if it would focus more on the mystical line. I don't mind the female lead at all but the fact that she saved literally everyone multiple times while all men were just babbling idiots on the side-lines there only to be hindering, berating, and eventually graveling on their knees in front of the main lead made this movie painful to watch. Characters were uninteresting to watch other than the main lead, I guess my main problem with this movie is that other than the main lead, the rest of the cast was forgettable, interchangeable, they had no story or focus, almost like the whole plane and mission could have been completed by the main lead alone. I expected significantly more from this move, but ultimately, it did not worth my time, it's not something I'd recommend to anybody for any reason other than torture.… Expand

So boring, you could cut this movie down by half and you would not miss much.
Leading character is a Mary Sue and every man in this movie is sexist and weak.

End scene says it all: The men watch when she fights, then they watch when she breastfeeds.

Lets see how long this stays up?… Expand

Typical modern throw-away movie filled with woke ideology. The main character makes it a point to chastise one of the guys for saying "dames", totally takes you out of the movie. Sloppy script, there's a reference to Bigfoot which really wasn't a popular culture reference until 1958 - and this movie takes place in 1943. Then at the end to presumably dedicate the movie to all the prior female military pilots...she didn't even fly the plane! Ultimately it just feels like they had the actors in front of a green screen most of the time to save money, and no real character development.… Expand

The beginning of the movie is kinda ok. Even the supernatural stuff. It is very unrealistic from the start (like a B17 landing right over her head and then she doesnt move and suddenly she stands right under another stopped B17, or no oxygen needed on a Pacific flight - yet they do have filled oxygen tanks that play a role later, or the temperature on board in that altitude). But it keeps you interested for a good while.

The issue isnt really the female protagonist or a completely incompetent "diversity" token co-pilot (you do know what youre doing with such a depiction, director, do you?), its that the movie suddenly takes a hard woke/crazy/ridiculousness turn in the middle, that just makes you feel like you have just been conned by the director and writer (interestingly woke directors use that tactic a lot in movies and series - I wonder why... no I dont). Even the music turns to absolute garbage all of the sudden (not that it was fitting for the times depicted in the first place).
Turns out the whole movie was just about giving it to men and pointing out that women served in WW2 and can scream very loud for no reason (I thought thats an old stereotype they wanted to get rid of?) and can develop literal super powers and freeze enemies in fear so that they let themselves get killed without any defense.

To the director and writer: If you wanted to show the female heroes of WW2, then you should have made a documentary about them. Those were real heroes and a vital part in the effort to win WW2 (even, or especially in Russia). With crap like this you make fun of them. Not only that, you demean the male heroes of WW2 and divide present societies, paving the way for new conflicts and ultimately wars.
Disgusting.… Expand
