You might want to watch the clip again, because your description of that part is absurd.

Technical and historic details aside, how often do we get a film that covers what we all appreciate?!
Of course, they're make it look like '40's star wars, but I'll take what I can get!
If it helps keep the memory alive of all the sacrifce that millions made, I'll keep my fingers crossed it's not a total waste of time and money...

I noticed a lot of "Hollywood" stuff in there. Why can't these film makers just keep things historical?

I'll watch it for sure despite the inaccuracies, but i don't think i'll go to a movie theater so it's going to be a DVD rental for me.

Come to think of it, i've watched and even enjoyed other not to realistic films that feature some aviation but the only one i saw in a theater was memphis belle.

What i'd really like to see is Peter Jackson doing the Dambusters remake as was rumored at some point. I know you'll all say "it's the guy who did lord of the rings and king kong", but i think he's a good choice.

Rumor has it he's an aviation buff so he might just do it justice and he's also been involved in other historical productions. I think he shot a special short film for the ANZAC museum in New Zealand, you go into the museum and there's a full scale trench diorama you can sit in and over the top of the trench is the projection screen where the film is displayed, showing a WWI infantry charge.

I just pray that the German aircraft have swastikas on them so we don't have to endure 50 pages of complaints about that.

Watch again:

At 2:15 a P-51 loop like a Fokker Dr.1 and shoot at left wing of yellow wing tip Bf-109.



In the next frame a Me-262 lost this left wing...



Hope that this (dis)continuity be only in trailer...

I'm assuming that's just sloppy editing with regards to the trailer.

One thing you can count on in this film. . . Wilhelm screams x1000

Of course it's absurd, that's why I mentioned it. The mistake in the trailer is called a "continuity error", look it up.

There is no such thing as a "continuity error" in a trailer. It was a montage of combat scene clips from the movie. If the same thing happens in the movie, then it's a "continuity error".

I see, it's a word game here, I didn't realize my posts had to be approved by a grammar nazi.
