Islamic State terrorists channeled their inner Michael Bay with an action-packed trailer warning President Obama that the “fighting has just begun.”
Firing back after Obama vowed to “degrade and destroy” them, the ISIS fiends released a slickly made 52-second clip featuring slow-motion blasts and images of American soldiers being pelted with bullets.
The disturbing footage — some of which looks plucked from the video game “Call of Duty: Black Ops” — shows Obama speaking at a podium before the screen suddenly goes black.
“Flames of War: Fighting has just begun,” it boldly declares before signing off, “Coming Soon.”
The video was released by the al-Hayat Media Centre, ISIS’s English-language propaganda arm, which has helped the extremist group recruit followers using technically sophisticated media tools.
Plenty of planning went into the imagery — and there’s a good chance it was created by someone with film-school experience, industry experts said.
“It does feel like they’ve gone to film school. There’s an aesthetic and they’ve put thought into it. It seems like it comes from an educated mind,” said Jennifer Ruff, an NYU film professor and editor who has worked on films such as “Boys Don’t Cry” and “High Art.”
She added, “It almost feels like there’s a specific production design. Whoever is behind their media is using the power of film language.”
Despite the movie magic, the video was likely created on a laptop, she said.
“You can do a lot on your own these days. You just need editing software and cameras. Nowadays, you can make it look really professional without a studio,” she said.
But there’s no indication the video’s maker had experience working in Hollywood, she said.
“Flames of War” also features a masked man who appears to be preparing to shoot kneeling prisoners — and ominous hand-held footage of the White House, apparently shot from a moving vehicle.
Toward the end of the clip is a sound bite from Obama proclaiming, “American combat troops will not be returning to fight in Iraq.”
It also features one of the group’s signature hallmarks, CGI explosions set to the sound of Arabic singing.
The video was removed from YouTube early on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after the terror group posted it.
The video was released one day after US defense chiefs said American troops could join Iraqi forces fighting ISIS.
The Obama footage was from an Aug. 26 American Legion appearance in North Carolina.
The release of the trailer came just days after the Islamic State terrorists released a video of their latest beheading, of British citizen David Haines — and after ISIS urged supporters to target Times Square with homemade pipe bombs.
ISIS militants also beheaded two American journalists, James Foley and Steven Sotloff, later posting the graphic footage online.
