Movie Reviews of One Six Right
Movie Review: Beautiful Aerial Footage, but Way Too Achingly Sentimental
Summary: 2 Stars
If you like gorgeous air-to-air airplane photography, look no further. It's here. But if you want a movie to capably introduce the general public to general aviation, this is not the one to pick. Rich men's toys, the glistening corporate jets and multi-million dollar WW II aircraft, is not what the heart of flying is about. Cute children looking longingly through an airport fence does not persuade non-flying residents living next to or under airport noise. Yes, I am biased, but biased in favor of private flying, as I am a licensed pilot myself. I know of and respect many of the people interviewed on camera. But this production is too schmaltzy to be an effective documentary. Save your money: instead, pay a little more and give your teenager, or your neighbor, an introductory flight lesson.Movie Review: High expectations not met
Summary: 2 Stars
Most people who buy a movie like this are pilots or aviation-types of some sort and already know that small airports are in trouble (not that this movie was about what most would call a small airport) so it was pointless for this film to beat that dead horse.
I also don't know how this was shot, film or digital, but my DVD had the worst interlacing I've ever seen on a commercially produced video.
Oh yeah-- they could have sprung for a little more variety in music. The same piano riff over and over and over and over and over was too much for me.
Many of the interviews with the older pilots were a delight, but this wasn't nearly enough to overcome the movie's shortcomings.
