Teaser Trailer for Pearl Harbor movie

[Superfly]

Has anyone seen this trailer yet?  Some really cool shots of Japanese planes flying under radar.  Too bad we have to wait another year before it comes out!

Is that the movie that will feature P38s defending Pearl Harbor in 7 december 1941?

PUAJJJJJJJJ!!!!!---------->RAM pukes thinking in "relaxed realism" movies

Just FYI. The Japs Did not fly in under dar. They were detected well out of the harbor but were mistook for an incoming flight of B-17's due for a refueling stop before going to California. Plus, when the air raid sirens went off after the bombs began falling, many of the sailors still in their bunks thought it was a training exercise. By good luck, the American carriers, which were the primary target, were out at sea. Just a little history fact (from what I know.)

Holywood has made its name on relaxed realism, look at the recent U-Boat film where the yanks did it all and saved us silly Brits, Saving Private Ryan where the Americans were the only ones there on D-Day and of course who can forget how John Wayne and Telly Savalas won WWII on their own TWICE! remarkable!

The trailer reeks of Armageddon meets WW2 to me.  The shot of Liv Tyler lovingly carressing her boyfriend in the water as the camera pans around the two of them smacks of the shallow, quick 'n easy characterizations of Micheal Bay's Armageddon.  The planes look great though.

I just get the nagging feeling this one is gonna suck.

This is getting old, here and in the wwiionline forum.  If UK citizens have a prob with Hollywoods depiction of history, crank up the studios and make one to their liking  . As far as the movie Private Ryan goes, get over it. Just because "Tommy" wasnt featured in it wasnt a slight, it was a story about Americans, our fathers and grandfathers did fight there didnt they?

Sorry for the offtopic post. This steams me for some reason

OKAY... LETS  CALL IN SICK to WORK MEMORIAL DAY 2001.   As for going to SUCK... I DONT THINK SO!.. For once they are going to use ACTUAL Zeros... no T6 Texan toejam.  I believe it was last months issue of CLASSIC AVIATION or AVIATION HISTORY had a 8 page article on this.  IT IS GOING TO BE VERY VERY COOL!

REMEBER PEARL HARBOR!!

Wait.. do you mean Tom Cruis didn't shoot down 3 migs that looked suprisingly like F5's?  I don't believe you... I don't believe you... I don't believe you!

There is nothing silly about having to save you Brits AGAIN.

 

Saving Private Ryan where the Americans were the only ones there on D-Day

Not true.. when they panned across the beach, I saw three blokes sitting down for tea... right before a bomb hit.

 

and of course who can forget how John Wayne and Telly Savalas won WWII on their own TWICE! remarkable!  (Image removed from quote.)

Hey... John Wayne winning WWII twice doesn't compare to how many times he won the west.

As the 4th of July weekend nears, I look forward to these constant reminders of just what exactly we are celebrating.  Remember... we haven't saved your bellybutton in every war... we kicked it in one

Don't forget the Iron Eagle films, and lets not forget Armageddon and Deep Impact where the oh so silly world sat back waiting for America to save the day, and when they did include a Russian he was portrayed as a half-wit   and we owe the President of the united states a debt of gratitude for saving the world in Independance Day and I'm sure he would have saved the day sooner if he had a jumbo with the flight characteristics that they had in Airforce 1    Yep Holywood does work on relaxed realism alrighty

Ohh yes, recent WW2 sub movie (damn I already forgot the name, say it all about it) too had better cinematics then old Das Boot. Unfortunatly it was the only thing that was better.

Just want to add, I'm not saying movie will suck, simply noting that the fact that movie has Zeros means nothing. There should be much more to the movie then use of a right plane.

Damn, all this and I just wanted to show everyone some cool shots of Japanese planes flying by!  Is anyone really that surprised that Hollywood sucks, is the root of all evil, the vortex to hell or that Americans are the most wonderful thing in the world since sliced bread in our movies?

Ah they're just a bunch of spoil sports SuperFly.

Personally I LOVED the clip, a little dramatic maybe, but very nice I think.

Thanks for the link

LOL a war movie from Disney?? I smell another pro-americain propaganda movie  
BTW SUPERFLY if u really loved the jap planes you would convince HT and pyro to add the co2 canisters near the fuel tanks that were an attempt to put fire's out. Would be nice to have this and activate it by pressing "o" in the zeke.

Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't go to movies to learn history.  I go for entertainment.  This looks entertaining, hence, I will probably go see it.

I will nitpick one thing though (and I may be wrong on this):  it looked like the Zekes were painted green.  I know the Kates were green during this perios, but I am almost positive that the zekes were the light gray in '41.  Still, it looked kind of cool.
