Movie Reviews of Flyboys [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Well Worth Watching
Summary: 5 Stars
Like the movies "Titanic" and "The Great Escape", This is a story taking place during a historic event with characters that are a composit of some of the real people involved.
It's WWI and the US has not yet entered the war. American volunteers are trained in France to fly and fight the war. They become the "Lafayette Escadrille". This movie covers their training, flying/fighting, squadron bonding and off duty time.
This is no documentary. It is a gripping story of the Americans who flew for the French combined with excellent air combat sequences. Better in the Blu-Ray Disc version. It will leave you wanting to run it again and again. Good photography, good story, good sound/special effects, good characters, . . . can you tell I thoroughly enjoyed it? Be sure to watch the special features, see how the combat footage was filmed.
Those who have seen "The DaVinci Code" will recognize Jean Reno as the squadron commander.
Movie Review: Outstanding in every way.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this one looking for a good historical action drama with good effects. Flyboys far exceeded my expectations. I am familiar with the Lafayette Esquadrille from history class and old movies. The movie stayed pretty close to the truth.
The characters were solid, well developed and believable. The sets and settings were on the money. Unique historical details (like use of landing gear in combat) were accurate (with two big intentional exceptations). The arial dog fights were fantastic.
Special effects were on par if not better than those in 'Pearl Harbor'. Motion Capture of actual arial stunts made a huge difference.
Extra features were some of the best I've seen.
Movie Review: This is an awsome Blu-ray disc
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie is great I suggest it for all genders and age groups.I have about 25 blu-ray disc and this one is probly the best performing,it loads up with no trailers zero nada just staright to the main menu which was really great.I would suggest play this and Underworld Evolution as your first blu-ray experience,the picture is stunning very clear with no artifacts,the sound is great with the 5.1 DTS.Like another reviewer said this is probly the best blu-ray demo to show your friends or just to impress yourself.Movie Review: Perfect Movie! Perfect High Definition Quality on Blu-ray!
Summary: 5 Stars
Unlike the 20 some movie that I watched on Blu-ray with either mediocre picture quality or picture freezing problem or grainy picture or too dark transfer--This one sets a new higher standard for Blu-ray!
Movie: Great story, beautiful colors, incredible cinematography!
Video: Just perfect (film like quality is finally achieved!)
Audio: Excellent.
I have no complaints-great movie for the whole family! Must own!
Movie Review: Great Visuals and Acting
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, not the most historically accurate movie but neither was the 1971 movie "Von Richthofen & Brown" nor the was the recent 2008 movie "The Red Baron". Each movie has it pros and cons but still this movie was entertaining for those not totally versed in WWI and the air war. The Blu-Ray rendition is quite nice as expected.
