Pluskylang Great Film overall
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
pierrem-m Whilst the basic idea of this movie is a good one -"In 1943, five US soldiers are recruited by the OSS for a time travel mission to save the world from the tyranny of Hitler's 25th Reich."the execution was lamentable! (I'm trying to find a copy of the book it's based so I can do a comparison)The low point for me being a 'homosexual', using the term very loosely, rape of the Captain commanding the GIs by one of his own men who's been turned into a giant metallic spider by a flying swastika in the year 2237 (it seems that they overshot the mark on their return from 50,000 years in the past). (This is also a concise summary of the standard, of lack thereof, of this film)Whilst not at the depths so 'brilliantly' hit by Ed Wood Jr in "PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE" in 1959 "The 25th Reich" is certainly heading in that direction fast!When I consider what my country's film industry can turn out I'm almost ashamed to admit my nationality if that also involves admitting any connection, even a cultural one, with this turkey of a film.Now having comprehensively (I hope) canned it I find myself strangely hoping that they do make the sequel "The 25th Reich - War against God" so I can see if they can 'surpass' the late Mr Wood's fantastically low achievement!Btw my wife's critique was "Wtf" and she asked "Is there a rating less than 1". And she was being charitable at the time!
trashgang Hahaaa, did I like this flick. there's a lot out these days that brings you back to the old B-flicks from the good ol' days. Iron Sky (2012) was one example but this one hits it all.The way the acting was done surely brought me back to Lee Marvin (the cigar anyone) and those classic thespians. The way it was shot brought me more to the old school parade. Yes, this was big fun. Even as it isn't politic correct when the Nazi robots did came in. What they are saying could offend people but don't take it all too serious. It's still a big joke. And there's a lot of cheesy CGI but it works out fine here because it can't be taken seriously. And it did remind me of time travelling with the army in The Final Countdown (1980). Did I had fun and laughter here. But I do understand that a lot of 'casual' viewers won't understand it but for the geeks out there of B-flicks, whatever they saying, pick this one up.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 1/5
kosmasp You get the cardboard cut-outs of a group of characters in this. You have the good guy, the bad guy, the crazy guy and the rookie(s). The budget is so small that the first time the guys are lifting something "heavy" (a machine, that plays a big role, who'd have thought that? Yes, everybody!), it is really painfully obvious that what they're lifting is pretty lightweight.There is some nice CGI, but the story is more than predictable (apart from one or maybe two little twists that is). I'm not sure what to think of that ending either. There is one scene there, that will disturb people a lot (depending on what they're used to take in ... no pun intended)!
diggus doggus Very brief review; 25th Reich is an obvious exercise in making a perfect b-movies replica, this is its main appeal, and if it doesn't sound good to you then leave it alone because it will have nothing to offer you.If on the other hand you love cinema and everything associated with it, especially 50s to 70s black&white scifi movies, then 25th Reich has it all.Plot: a group of GI travel in the past to recover a spacecraft in the exact time it has first landed. There's not much to say without spoiling the film, and when the surprises come you will think "of course, how can this kind of film not have that".Once again, this is the main charm of this film; i found it very amusing and entertaining, even the ending. My final vote: an amusing 7/10
