I love the work they did on the lighting to reproduce the 30s movies facial lighting/contrast... plus the hallow around the faces.
Dat jugs bro.

The P-40 was just a little overmodelled.

I saw it and it was OK.  Could have had a little more action scenes but I guess that would get more expensive w/ all the CG in all.


If you like "new classic" like movies this is the one for you.  Everything about it in the cinimatography screamed 1930's

If you like movies to be realistic avoid this at all costs.

I liked it alot.  Even the girlfriend and her friend liked it.  So you should be able to finagle getting a female in there.

Dune nailed it.  If you have a GF or a wife with any kind of brain she will like this movie....the action will keep a guys interest as well.

me I give it 2.5 out of 5 stars....but that's just me.

If they are fighting ailens, why didnt they put the Nik in there? Bet it could outturn them ailen flying turds anyday.

Or how about HT creating a parody of the trailer

Did I see the p-40's fly underwater in the trailer on TV?

Not sure about that, but I did see a B-24 being pushed out of a hanger.

I've seen a trailer amd it showed these large, weird metallic craft in the air with big Union flags on them (i.e. UK flag). Is that part of the story?
