Holy, holy, holy...that's the script

The lead actor deserves better material to work with. He is very engaging and professional. Basically, that's the only compliment I can give this abysmal rehash of Final Countdown. I can suspend belief that even though the 757 has travelled back to an alternate June 1940, there are more holes in the locations and the plane than in the script. So Dunkirk is now a complete disaster and the British lost everyone, the Me262 rules the skies and somehow a remote British radio location equipped with very accurate SAM's somehow exists near Metz?? But we have been told RADAR doesn't exist in this alternate reality. France was overrun before Dunkirk which means Metz was occupied, no RAF fighters could have reached the 757 in less than 30 minutes, the Me 262 which didn't become operational till 1944 fired 30mm cannons which would have ripped the wing off the 757 in the first pass, ending the movie at least 30 minutes earlier. A writer, some technical advice and a little bit of consistency would have made this a much better film.
