Movie Reviews of One Six Right

Movie Review: One Six Righteousness
Summary: 4 Stars

An interesting amalgam of pure "joy of flight" and anti-urban sprawl polemic. The sound of a big Merlin-powered prop biting off chunks of air is music to any airplane lover, as is the sight of a classic airplane, be it a little yellow Cub or a "heavy metal" Mustang. One Six Right presents this aspect of aviation well, albeit too briefly.

The music composed for the feature is pleasing, and the producer wisely didn't allow it to detract form the aircraft sounds, a mistake made by too many who try to catch the essence of flight on video.

The polemic portion portrays sprawling cities as often being like matriphagic insects. It's certainly true that many an airport has been lost to urban sprawl, which ironically stifles the commercial and recreational aspects of general aviation. The legal principle of coming to the nuisance often gets trampled by the greed of politicians, real estate developers, and unregulated population growth. While it was not the purpose of this video to examine this phenomenon in detail, I would like to have seen more development of it, and better juxtaposition of the wonder of flight and the ramifications of growth. It presents one California city, Van Nuys, that manages a symbiosis with its general aviation airport, and one Illinois city, Chicago, that doesn't.

What this movie does, it does well, but I was left wanting more. It was a very tasty appetizer, but it left me hungry for the main course.

Movie Review: Not movie, but documentary
Summary: 4 Stars

I'm a 24 years old pilot with about 40 hours flying solo in a LSA, i thought this movie would teach my friends what flying is about, the feelings that are involved in every flight because is something that no matter how hard you try to explain the feeling, they will never understand. The truth is that i saw the movie, and it's a beautiful documentary about van nuys airport with stunning flying shots of beautiful airplanes, but i no longer feel excited about watching the movie with my friends because i guess they'll get bored.

Movie Review: Worth the money
Summary: 4 Stars

Over all the flick's worth it's bucks. It's a documentary of a GA airport around the LA area and nothing more. The film did feel like it was not long enough for the amount of information that was mentioned. The director kept talking about all the different and rare aircraft located on this air strip yet the film only really showed a handful of aircraft. Overall it's worth the money.

Movie Review: Not quite what I expected
Summary: 4 Stars

I purchased this in hopes it would tell more about current general aviation rather than a history lesson. While it was still mostly enjoyable to watch, it seemed more like something that you would watch on the History channel.
