Jet Stream (2013)

Good concept, poorly executed.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

The first must-see film of the year.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

The other reviewers have got so much of the more abysmal moments in this really momentous movie, (sticks fingers down throat), that I didn't think there was much more I could add, but surprisingly before I got totally bored with it and flipped to ST the original series, there was a classic scene, where a soldier was electrocuted and the "hero" TV weatherman dived in to check his pulse at the speed of light, before promptly going into CPR, which he patently knew nothing about as he replied, "I got this man, I saw it on Baywatch", well that was the second thing that had me rofl today and I was the first thing.It probably didn't help the poor guy, flashing his brilliant white teeth and clean cut jaw, lying, to explain where he really was to the blond bimbo he was dating, sorry feminists, but she really was and probably still is and since she is Barbie the airhead he most definitely is Ken.I finally gave up when the Major re-appeared again, out of sync, the continuity was as abysmal as his haircut and thought enough is enough, I can stand no more, my brain will become as jellified as the crew.45 minutes of STOS I can cope with, but the studios are going to have to up their game, to impress me and maintain my attention these days.I will attend the formal burial ceremony, if I can join the celebrations at the wake afterwards. :) R.I.P.

There are no words to describe how amazing this film is. I watched it today with a boy with severe learning difficulties & because of the films simple script and diabolical scientifically inaccurate plot he was able to understand it. He clapped a lot and was very happy. I recommend this film for anyone who likes to be patronized for long periods of time. The CGI effects are breath taking. The only down point in this romantic comedy is the odd sub plot involving the wind or something. Why this film didn't receive an imax release is beond me. Also the dudes in the film wore headsets with no earpiece and this one dude didn't have one at all yet could still communicate with the other guy despite him having no earpiece.

First of all it wasn't bad or good, wouldn't watch it again. But for this Scottish guy to review a movie about military and doesn't know anything about the military is wrong.You know darn well the military is full of over weight enlisted. All military movies by law have to have some kind of flaw in the movie, wrong uniform, setup of uniform far as rank on the wrong side, rank upside down etc.LONG HAIR....The movie was based on military aircraft experience, well they are not going to use a real aircraft, top secret on a movie..I hate when people talk crap about military and have never served

A fundamental problem with making a film that will appeal to everyone is the danger that it will appeal to absolutely no one . This low budget production entitled JET STREAM and filmed in Bulgaria is a case in point . It tries to mesh in several genres such as disaster epic , conspiracy thriller , satire on the media and a bit of romance . It does nothing well and quickly becomes tiresome JET STREAM sets out its stall how bad it is going to be right from the opening scene where an American airforce Major is in contact with an US military plane conducting an experiment . What will strike you about this airforce Major isthree things 1 ) He is somewhat overweight 2 ) He doesn't have a US military regulation hairstyle 3 ) He obviously hasn't shaved for several days When a director gets little things like this wrong in the opening scene what hope for the rest of the film ? No hope at all as the film lurches from one underdeveloped theme and scene to another . You might have some fun pointing out the ridiculous scientific mistakes in this film but that's probably the only fun you'll get from JET STREAM
