Seriously David, i dont for one second think you agree the clip where the P51 preforms a tie-fighter turn is accurate, so why are you trying to argue?

Are you talking about the scene where the P-51 pulls out of a stall at the top of a loop and then shoots the wing off a 109262? I agree. That ruins the whole movie for me.

I think this is not the worst part. I suspect they went "lets put as much planes as possible into single frame, as that will look epic" way. Wing to wing escorts, planes flying inside enemy bomber formation, Me-262 flown like prop planes and so on.

David, nobody is saying the movie is ruined by the CGI, if you read my first post in this thread i said "If the film does justice to the story then ok il prob watch it and try to forget the P51 pulling a tie fighter turn and the rest of the awful CGI"

I can separate the story from the CGI, can you?

Who knows, the movie may still suck, or it might be great! but the CGI is to my mind not as good as it could be, and i think you agree.

Too many people in here are.

I think the CGI could probably have been more realistic. But, they're not making a documentary. They're making a movie. Every movie ever produced has made some changes for dramatic effect.

I draw the line when I see things that the average person would realize are completely unrealistic. So far I haven't seen much of that. However, this is only a short clip out of 1 hour of flight scenes.

My god ILM is the top CGI firm on the planet, if they can't make something good enough for you then no one can..
