Review of Warbirds

Warbirds (2008 TV Movie)
7/10
Illogical popcorn movie about female pilots battling flying dinosaurs is as cheesy as it sounds and a great deal of fun
22 February 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Made for Scifi scifi war film set during WW2 about a group of female fliers who normally shuttle planes from place to place being pressed into service in order to transport a an officer, his men and his secret cargo to a secret island. Along the way bad weather they are forced down on to an island by a storm and something else. Upon landing they find that the Japanese are on the island and so is some flying monsters who are very hungry.

Goofy offbeat story of the sort that was done best in the 1950's or in comics actually plays pretty good in that vein assuming you accept it for what it is. Lets face it this is is a monsters vs planes story and as that this is a great deal of fun. Is it perfect? Oh lord no (Among other unanswered questions-why is an American truck on a Japanese held island?), but it is the sort of thing to curl with and just sort of have wash over you. Perfect for a night on the couch
