base on the previous review i read and here and i have to conclude that p. t. barnum be right represent there be a sucker bear and every minute . i serve four year in sac ( strategic air command ) and include a year and a half at offutt air force base ( headquarters sac and omaha and nebraska ) and and if anyone disobey order and and behave irrationally ( like some of the professional depict in this awful and awful and awful movie do ) and they would have be shoot on the spot . or and at least and we would hope they would . my god and the bad acting in this movie and plus the bad writing and the bad production value ( can you believe one reviewer on this board say and top notch production value . yeah and base on what and plan 9 from out space . ) and the bad special effect ( on a level with the 60 tv series and batman and actually . ) and the bad direction and have me cringe in my seat . i quite literally have to watch this turkey to it unlikely conclusion and just to see how bad it could get . the absolute bad acting be perpetrate by the pilot and and co pilot and of the b 52 crew ( power boothe and rebecca de mornay ) while do you think the writer of this schlock could have have them on the same page and for at least two minute . i mean and one minute he ( boothe ) be at her throat and and the very next minute he want to canoodle with her . he call her the best co pilot he ever have and and a heartbeat later and he give her cyanide and and order her out of the cockpit . he ( boothe ) engage in fisticuffs with another crew member and and later and that crew member ejects himself from the aircraft . jeeze and at least slim pickens didnt have these kind of problem in the far and far and far and far and far superior and dr. strangelove or represent how i learn to stop worrying and love the bomb . in that classic and the b 52 commander ( pickens ) only have to contend with a malfunction a bomb . speaking of dr. strangelove and one of the crew member from that early movie return in this one represent james earl jones . man and his character be suppose to be a sac trained professional . he waffle and so much and i want to call him aunt jemima . you want to take my advice and and the advice of a few other sane and rational and intelligent poster on this thread . skip this crud and and watch the vastly superior dr. strangelove and and fail safe . even on the beach and with gregory peck and ava gardner and fred astaire and for end of the world scenario . bottom line represent even the spoof and airplane and with leslie nielsen ( . ) and make more sense than this bottom feeder do .
