Legends of Flight IMAX
Has anyone else seen it? Has a nice sequence of an ASW-24 in the
mountains. I was watching on an IMAX Dome which sort of distorted the image so I'm not sure if it was CGI or not, although I suspect it was. The film was about the 787 and featured Boeings chief test pilot. It sort of was a basic 40 minute history of technology advancements in aviaiton. Pretty neat. |

Fake looking wings, meant to be an ASW-20 has ASW-22 looking wings that don't flex as the G loading changes. And amusingly SSA contest ID belongs to somebody who owns an umm PW5. Ha. It would be really nice had they tried to do something real. Darryl |

It would be really nice had they tried to do something real. I recently saw it in 3D and was not impressed. Much of the movie took place in some Boeing meeting room where nothing much of interest was discussed. I don't want to go to a movie just to sit in on a boring corporate movie! The flying parts were ok, except the 3D was very poorly done. The line graphics broke the effect for me completely, and in the flying scenes it made the airplanes look like they were about six inches long. These movie makers need to understand that parallax stops being visible for distant objects, and trying to force it just makes those objects look miniature. -- Mike Ash Radio Free Earth Broadcasting from our climate-controlled studios deep inside the Moon |

If I want to see CGI aircraft I can fly them myself in X-Plane or Silent Wings.... I've got a feeling that too many non-aviation folks were involved. Just lacks that feel of something lovingly done like One Six Right. Darryl |

Sigh... interesting because in the film i initially guessed an ASW-27 or ASG-29 but the long ass wings fooled me. Then they did a close up of the cockpit and it said ASW-24 which I was totally unfamiliar with. Oh well if i wasnt a pilot or a glider nut i would've thought it was kind of neat and that is important. |

I saw that movie in McMinnville Evergreen Aviation Museum Imax 3D
Theater. And I must say I liked it. This movie is made for average person who does not know anything about flying and aviation in general. My kids were able to comprehend quite a bit especially about engines. You guys need to quit looking only at the end of your nose. Jacek Pasco, WA |
