Red Tails

just saw the trailer, looks pretty good to me. What do you guys think?

There's a thread on WWII air combat movies floating around here somewhere that had some discussion on it. The consensus seems to be that we're all excited about it.

I've seen the trailers online over the last several months but I just saw one on the big screen today before I saw War Horse. I'm really looking forward to it.

It looks pretty fake and cheap by the previews

And now we have a dissenting opinion. Guess the only real option is to go see it yourself and develop your own opinion.

Well it is Hollywood so you have to expect the action to be slighty unrealistic/embellished (some of the planes in the trailers do indeed pull off some imposible manuevers). But as for the actual cgi they used real planes as a base so they are not all fake. All this certainly isn't cheap, its done by the best people in the buissines as is the sound.

Where I see this film could be let down is the acting, dialog and script.

Unrelated, In the trailer when I see Hal from Malcom in the Middle I keep expecting him to say or do something stupid and funny lol

What I mean is it looks like it's in the style of sin city or 300 the cgi looked bad in the preview almost animated just not my style I like movies like Memphis belle not this new comic book type stuff

A few months ago the trailers looked clean and were obviously CGI. The trailers I've seen lately, the planes seem to have a more grimy look and while we all know it's still CGI, it doesn't look quite as fake.

Welcome to the 21st century... some suspension of disbelief required.

I'm more interested in the story than anything. The film revolving around a WWII fighter squadron is an extra treat. I've read many positive comments from advanced screenings so I'm still looking forward to it.

Every once in a while Hollywood surprises me an actually makes a decent film. I sincerely hope that this is one of those times, but I ain't holding my breath. Looks pretty mediocre from what I've seen so far.

Here's a link to the "movie thread" if anyone's interested:
