Thanks for that RB trailer! Ich bein sehr gespannt!

I like watching movies where Germans are played by Germans, and get to speak it. Many consider german a harsh language; I don't if it's pronounced correctly.

Looks to be a more engaging narrative than " Fly Boys ", and better filmed. The CGI is still annoying though. Can't these computer geeks imagine shots which are less irritating than the swarm of wasps shot, from the front, which puts far too many aircraft in the frame and owes more to computer games than reality.

The shots of the aircraft are nowhere near as interesting as the shots of the planes in " Aces High ", even though the fakes in Aces High still annoy prop-heads !

I shall wait until I see it before I make a final judgement, but I think that it's going to be as bad as " Fly Boys ".

MoMo, I agree with you 100% on that. I find it very unfortunate though, that this movie hasn't even been released yet, and already it seems to be meeting with some resistance here because of the artistic license of CGI artist's interpretion of the dogfights scenes being too modern and fast paced by those of us who should be happy to see a period movie onscreen. Sure, there are going to be things that the filmakers got wrong, but lets try to enjoy it for what it is - entertainment.

In my opinion only, after the failure of FLYBOYS, I think we need to rally and try to show the film companies that a movie about WW1 aviation can indeed be semi-successful at the box office. Otherwise, I guarantee that it will be a long, long time before we see another one.

Maybe the next WW1 movie should be along the lines of The Blue Max- keep the CGI to a minimum and rely on actual flying scenes. I know this is more expensive, but may make the pacing more realistic. Just a thought...

In todays movie making environment, movie studios and their production teams have very different sets of principles to adhere too when making films fraut with inherent dangers like dogfighting scenes and such. Sure it looks very realistic to say the least, to use real airplanes to depict specific dogfight manuevers that's more believable, right? But you also have to look at the big picture here: planning those stunts poses alot more safety issues and concerns for the pilots and crews involve in making it work properly. More risks of accidents are involved and therefore, directors and teams try to minimize such things from happening in order to achieve the best possible combinations of scenes that's acceptable and will work for even the most anal critics among us. That's when CGI comes into the picture, and it is almost an invetible and indespensable tool when it comes to that art of making make-believe films that we can all enjoy watching as entertainment and suspend disbelief for 2 hours of our life. You follow so far?

That's my .02 cents anyway....

Yeah, I understand that. And, going along with that, I understand that insurance premiums are going to be sky high (no pun intended). Before CGI, movies of this type were made with real airplanes, and the scenes were shot successfully. I understand CGI eliminates the risks involved with actual flying- and CGI technology is getting better all the time. My point is this-and I should have touched on it in my previous post- in addition to the pacing of the flight sequences, and the realism involved with filming actual airplanes, how much will it cost using CGI to make the movie vs. filming with real airplanes? As I understand it, CGI stuff still isn't cheap. If the costs are somewhere in the same neighborhood for both, why not go with the real ones? Again, just a thought...
