However, I agree, it's more eye candy than anything truly substantive, but some pretty nice eye candy nevertheless.
You should see it just for the rush, computer graphics and all.Chris
If this is a good movie, it will be a disgrace for all sensible soul.
it does have some merit.Chris
No problemo-I've always thought that CGI would make a pretty good WW2 aircraft film- maybe an adaptation of Len Deighton's Bomber- I'd like to see that !
The early Japanese and American aircraft are a bit boring, but I'll definitely see it- I wonder how many WW2 quotes (and puns) sub- editors will put into these reviews, for example:
"I shall not return!"
Independence Day was pretty good in terms of CGI aircraft too. Nice work I thought.-Regards,

get ready for some computer trickery. I guess my original point was that with modern film making some of the scenes, while obviously 'made up,' were still worth watching in a well EQed theatre and in digital surround (SDDS in my case) sound.Chris
