Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Console best movie i've ever seen.
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Ed Green I originally got to see this in its IMAX glory at the Tuttleman IMAX Theater at the Ben Franklin Institute. The film was a perfect fit for that theater and while not having an intriguing story line, it was inspirational.The story of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner has opened the world of airplane engineering and risks. My favorite part is when it describes the future of air travel as only just beginning.
bd64kcmo I never saw this, so I would be voting "neutral" (5), regretting if unable to opt out. However the "cartoon" reference was telling about directors who sacrifice the real thing for CGI. The whole dependency on CGI is utterly stupid, and it ruined what could have been a stellar "The Aviator" (2004), IMHO. That film took a real live airworthy Lockheed 1049G Constellation, in perfect flying order, flown all the way from Kansas City to Burbank, only to be replicated as the budding TWA. No flying scenes with the rare living airplane at all...NONE. I was pretty shocked despite DiCaprio's stellar acting ability, as well as the other players. A TERRIBLE loss indeed.
alexmbj I was excitedly surprised to see this movie about to start on PBS on a Saturday night. I settled in to watch a film about "Legends of Flight", but then had to force myself to remain watching until the finish.In addition to there being little film but plenty of computer generated animation, the movie seemed to be hardly about aircraft at all. Repeatedly, there were more images of cartoon birds and bees and animated nuts and bolts than images of aircraft, either real or computer generated.From the title, I assumed I was going to view a great film about aircraft and powered flight, but instead found this movie supremely disappointing. If you're a CGI fan, you might have a look. If you're an airplane buff, don't be fooled by the title. Pass this one by.
Arthur Armour Having just watched a DVD version, I think it would have been great to watch on the IMAX screen, but there, as I was here, I think I would have been disappointed with the fact that most of the aerial footage was CGI :( I also quickly tired of the 'acting' all through the film.I thought the CGI fly through of the CAD design work was good, and most likely accurate, although probably not as highly detailed as reality.Would be interesting to go back and walk through slowly and study some of the structure and systems. I don't know why the bird simulations had to be such poor quality, maybe to offset the look of the CGI'ed aeroplanes?All of the cockpit footage was shot on the ground, and in a simulator.I think the general public would love it, as well as the 'humble' part of the script showing that even the people at Boeing are human and make mistakes, although they also pointed out the same applies to Airbus. I guess the end result is that anyone that gets really involved with something (like me and aeroplanes) tends to end up being disappointed by the lack of detail in media destined for general public viewing.
