Much better than I expected! The plot is a bit tired and formulaic, and the special effects are so-so.
What really shines in this movie is the acting. It is pretty much top-notch throughout. Faran Tahir is excellent as the pilot (despite the inane and somewhat unlikely character name). Robby Kay is very believable as a young British soldier. Aqueela Zoll is more than just eye candy, and does a credible role as a competent and concerned flight attendant.
Worth a watch if you enjoy the alternate history and time-travel genre.
SPOILER ALERT: DON'T READ FURTHER IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE
I laughed when they portrayed the Luftwaffe flying Me-262 jets in 1940, but later learned that this fits into the alternate-history plot.

For The Asylum, this is good
FLIGHT WORLD WAR II is one of the better films from The Asylum that I've watched in a while. It's far from perfect, bogged down as it is with diabolical CGI effects and overheated performances, but the story is quite good and reminded me of the excellent Japanese film G.I. SAMURAI. In essence, a routine passenger jet goes through a hole in time and ends up in the middle of a WW2 battle, although there are further twists in store. It's a watchable enough effort, rough around the edges and silly at times, but for The Asylum it's a masterpiece.
