Movie was better than I expected. Very good production value for a Cormon film.Movie Review: WW1 Aerial Fantasy
Summary: 3 Stars
There is no need for me to add much to the criticism of this film as far as persons and events. However, my biggest problem is with the aircraft themselves. We have nothing but SE-5s for the British and Fokker D7s for the Germans. These are being used long before they were historically available. I suppose these were the easiest aircraft of the period to find, but it does get a bit redundant. At least with films like Blue Max and Flyboys you get some more attention to actual aircraft types. Visually this is a stunning film nonetheless. The non-stop action and constant downing of aircraft in neat black plumes for the dogfights seems excessive for the duration of these actions. Rather if we look at the various scenes as vignettes over a period of time it can seem a bit more realistic. There is not much character development here and some standard hints toward future radicalism of the Right in Germany is shown. Fun if you like WW1 aerial sequences, but even a bit numbing after a while.Movie Review: Pretty good for an aviation movie

I'm not so sure how true to history this all is as it claims to be. However they played it off well. Being fascinated with flight and the birth of dogfighting or that of an early "top gun" I must say, this is pretty true to form. This story is about the two multi Ace's at the time. Who pretty much had figured out how to stay alive past 6 weeks. Before them there was little form to follow when it came to dog fighting. You just shot at a guy until you were shot down or ran out of ammo. These men where true tacticians. The story is well put together, and has some neat effects. It's a nostalgic film that allows you to see what it might have been like in WWI to fly in combat situations. Don't expect the sensational excitement of the movie "Top Gun". I would however say its up there or better than "Fly Boys". So not great, but not bad. I'm happy to have it as a part of my collection and doubt you'll be dissapointed.Movie Review: Good flying - bad history
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good Sunday afternoon movie. It has some great flying in it though not much in historical accuracy or character development. The movie is suppose to be about the infamous Red Baron who shot down over 80 Allied airmen and Roy Brown who is credited with bringing him down in April of 1918 though most now believe it was the work of machine gunners on the ground.
Had the movie not been about about actual historical characters, it might be a bit more enjoyable for fans of WWI aerial warfare. Instead it's hard to ignore the historical inaccuracies and the little character insight we get into the Red Baron who is portrayed more as wood than man.
If you like WWI aerial warfare than check out this movie but if you are pedantic over historical details and machinery be forewarned before you burst a blood vessel.
