Are those replica bebe's full scale or something like 7/8's? They look a bit small to me especially in the one shot from the rear quarter of the one flying.

Saw the commercial last night, it looked like they had a plane exploding from gunfire:huh:  Then they had 2 planes colliding, then a kamikaze into the zeppelin.

I saw the commerical and said to my friend, i cant watch this. HE turns and say why, and i told him i be sitting there the whole movie saying thats bull thats bull he should have rolled he should have dived, he then says u need to stop playing that freakin game:lol .  I think hes right, when im checking my 6 when im siting on the jon i think i have a problem.

If this movie does well theyll prob do ww2 and korea, it looks like a 2 hour killer rental but nothin ill go out to see. I rather watch steve-o eat crap.

For a "real" WW1 air combat movie, find "The Blue Max", it is a classic. One of my favorite movies.

The Blue Max is a great WWI movie.  The opening scene is brillant.

Anyone else notice that every one of the Fokker Triplanes are painted red?

Im guessng this one is going to be a clunky flunker (say that one three times fast) :cry


Actually that was the problem I had with the fighting footage of Pearl harbor too (besides the plotline)

The graphics look hoaky.
Its almost like they look too good,,I dont know almost too crisp or too clear or something.

I think the computer generated stuff looks great in outer space stuff like star wars.
Just too hoaky in an earthlike atmosphere
