Movie Reviews of Dark Blue World
Movie Review: Shines where others have failed
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best War Movies in later days and shines where others have failed. It goes a long way to show that a big budget does not always produce the best results. A good story is always better.
In the main it is a story of Czech airmen, once driven out of their home they end up flying for the RAF. It has plenty of human interest and is well told on many levels, there is humor to be found and great sadness. There is also a love story and a triangle but this time it is very well done. It is like watching how horribly Pearl Harbor failed.
The Spitfires are wonderful to watch and there is great attention to detail, like falling cartridges from the planes.
I recommend it on every level.
Movie Review: Outstanding movie
Summary: 5 Stars
After being so excited to see Pearl Harbor and so disapointed when it came out, this movie was enormously satisfying. Sure, it's a darned good movie. Sure, it's well acted and well written. All of that pales next to the sheer magnificence of the flight scenes. Combining first rate special effects with real planes, it does to flying what "Saving Private Ryan" did for infantry combat, setting a visceral standard of sight and sound (especially sound) that everything else will have to match up to. The tracers, the battle damage, the sounds of cannon shells whistling by, it's just amazing. Let me put it this way, I rented it, watched it, and went immediately to my computer and ordered the DVD. It's that good.

Movie Review: Dark Blue Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
Years ago I collected and read many of the "Bantam War Book" Series. Each was a non-fictional first-hand personal story about "A World On Fire" - World War II.
I was especially fascinated by the RAF pilots and their incredible Battle of Britain stories. They were extraordinary men, like Douglas Bader, Stanford Tuck, and Pierre Clostermann: the brave Frenchman who, like the heroes in "Dark Blue World," fled his occupied homeland to fight for the RAF.
This movie is an undiscovered treasure - resurrecting still again the emotions of authenticity those books once evoked. While many films are ABOUT other times, this one seems more like a genuine window into the past.
Movie Review: What a wonderful movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just saw this movie yesterday, and I cannot stop thinking about it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime wonderful movie. It is warm, moving, has excellent acting and even better film work. This story of Czechoslovakian pilots in World War II, and the love story woven within it, is the greatest World War II drama I have seen in years.
The scenes with the Spitfires is about as authentic as it gets. Unlike Hollywood, it is clear that the story told by this screen writer and producer was aimed at technical accuracy, as well as touching the human heart.
I can only say this- if you have not seen this movie, you absolutely MUST drop everything and see it.
Movie Review: Belongs on the top WW2 movie list for all historians
Summary: 5 Stars
This tells the story of a heretofore unknown piece of history. While this film focuses on two Czech pilots, it should serve to remind all of us that there was a significant involvment by soldiers from occupied countries in the epic battles against facism and nazism.
This film is well put together and has excellant cinematography. The special feature aboout the making of the film is good as well. I especially liked the part about the director debating with his father on whether to shoot one more scene with the $1000/hr Spitfire. One more flypast was the decision - If you've ever witnessed one of these fabulous machines in action...you'd understand!
