    With a name like Starfighters, it has to be good!

    Hahahahahahaha no.

    All the reviews for this film are spot-on! This movie was a whooole lot of nothing. They fly planes. Again and again and continuously. There's some really boring dating involved. A concerned father. A lot of ...( read more)refueling. I'm not sure exactly why this film was made. It seems like an excess of plane footage made into some sort of cohesive film. They must have had connections because I can't imagine someone utilizing a budget large enough for airplanes and jets on such a lackluster premise. I would never call it a "blazing adventure". I think whoever made the cover art for this film was being ironic. Or perhaps he never saw the film.

    **WORST MOVIE EVER**


    This movie was made. That's about it.

    Too bad the hydraulics problem turned out to be a no-plotter, and too bad the weather system problem did not itself show up on the film.

    Despite that there existed a conflict between one fighter pilot and his father, this conflict was poorly explored at best. See, the married couple who have no conflict of interests. Thrill as every minute of refueling is splashed across the screen.

    All shown in graphic blandness.

    They must have been paying people to take stock footage because I can't really figure any other explaination for this movie. There is no plot! At all. None.

    But there are planes.
