I have just returned from seeing this movie. One word - OUTSTANDING!

Go see it.

Agree 100%. We just got back from it, too, and I was glad to see a
good crowd in the theater, and a good buzz about the movie after the
show.

It's very well done, and the flying sequences are fantastic.

Good but far from realistic. Not one rotary engine in the bunch and
what were those goofey back fires every time they pulled an engine
through. Also, the engine sounds weren't even close to correct.




It's a moooovie...

........from Hollywood. Shouldn't expect much I guess. Lotsa hype about
realism but they blew the basics.

Problem is that in the "old days", when Hollywood made an aviation movie,
they hired real life people as "technical advisors". These folks got things
as close to being realistic as possible; that is if you actually believe
that the Japanese flew T6's against P40's and won the fight once in awhile
:-))
These days its all done with graphics and special effects. I remember Art
Scholl telling me one night at a dinner that before long, Hollywood wouldn't
need actors. They'd simply make an entire movie in blue screen and
superimpose the image of the actors in the scenes as needed.
