Dunkirk
« on: July 20, 2017, 07:46:12 PM »
Anybody go to see it yet? I'm going to go to an Imax tomorrow, "despite the volume".

The airplane CG looks amazing in the preview. Were at a point where any WW2 flight story can be recreated on computers and look totally real. http://www.dunkirkmovie.com/

I'm planning on going on Sunday.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Most of the aircraft footage was obtained using actual planes and large R/C models.

Yeah there were some real aircraft in the preview at least. Including an awesome shot of a Mossie flying low.

I guess I'll find out when I see the movie.

It was a Blenheim, not a Mossie

That 2 engined one buzzing over the yacht going to Dunkerque? That would be a Blenheim  :old:

Seems to have gotten at least some Harry Styles fans to learn about history and even get involved.  This is a good thing and should be remembered by those inclined to mock such fans.

I wish they can make a ww2 movie strictly about the missions and air combats between the Russians, Germans, Britain, Italian, Japanese and Americans. Would be great to see the battles from all sides while the war was going on. It would probably be a 3 hours movie but it will be well worth it. What you guys think?

 :salute just got back from seeing Dunkirk my son says it was alright not much was said. I thought wow your right the brits always talk a lot without saying anything. also thought they may hold signs telling the germans its teatime and such. but overall its a decent movie telling the horrors of the event without the gore. chap I best shut up don't want to spoil it from this point on. :salute :cheers:

I agree, I think that'd be great to see. I don't know how much regular market there is for it. But I'd enjoy it.  :cheers:
