World War 2 Theme Gets Picked On (August 24, 2000)

[ChrisReid]

I guess today is just the day for overlooked movie stuff. Salon reviewed the movie way back when and we never caught the url. Reading it today is rather weird as there are references to the upcoming Phantom Menace and some other older movies. Apparently they don't like the dialog all that much, but give it a good "whet your appetite for Star Wars" rating. One thing they picked on were the action sequences, which I thought were rather good for what they had (think the flight deck decompression scene). You can catch this one for yourself here.
