Warbirds – a Brutally Positive Movie Review!

The Sci-Fi Channel scores a winner with Warbirds, a monster adventure flick set in World War II. Sure, it has many flaws…but nothing that can’t be turned upside down, like turning a frown into a smile.

The plot is simple enough. American soldiers crash-land on an island ruled by winged monsters with razor sharp claws. The soldiers must protect their cargo — top secret! —and eventually escape the island.

Now let’s raise the stakes: Japanese soldiers are also trying to escape. And neither the Japanese nor the Americans trust each other.

But the real heroes are the women. They are powerful, take-charge women who know their way around a dogfight. Hideous Winged Monsters vs. Powerful Women in Fighter Planes — that’s what this movie is all about. And unless you’re a male chauvinistic pig (which I am surely not, ladies) you’ll agree that this is a wonderful concept that can do no wrong.

While it may not win any awards, Warbirds will surely win many a smile of pleased moviegoers.
