A group of World War II soldiers from 1943 travel back in
time 50,000 years and then forward in time 300 years, where the Nazis rule the
world, in director Stephen Amis’ The 25th
Reich. What should have been a
science fiction film that paid homage to classic Hollywood ended up being a
poorly executed disaster that insulted genuine war films. I was forced to bear witness to the
most disturbing scene ever on film, fake orange gunshot fire, silly
iMovie-esque edits, and CGI work that would have looked hokey in the
1960s. The adapted storyline was
weak, the acting was so-so, and my empathy for the characters was zero.
