A bunch of Ariel Tactics pushed by a romantic storyline.
I really enjoyed the movie. You didn't have to think much about it, it
was what it was. Apparently there are some close ties to the true story
but it never seemed an issue of trying to portray something too
realistic. I am not a huge Franco fan, in fact his poutiness wears on
you in most films but he seems to do a really good job of mixing it up,
meaning he smiles in this one. I saw a pre-release screening and
everyone that I spoke to agreed that it was a good movie. The special
effects were really good, the airplanes seemed very realistic for the
most part. The close ups seemed a little fake but the tactics seemed
really good. I found a bit of cheesiness in the dialog at times but
managed to not pay too much attention too it. It wasn't deep but kept
you interested the whole time. Don't get me wrong, it was no Saving
Private Ryan but it had enough action and drama to keep you interested.
They even threw a bit of humor in to keep you loose in your seat. I
would recommend it to anyone, just don't expect to walk away a changed
person for having seen it. It was a fun movie with some good historical
point.
