It looks like a 'message' movie set in WW2 more than a film about WW2.. Oh well, I'll probably watch it enjoy it for what it is and also enjoy pulling it to bits.

Also looks like another hollywood re-write of history for artistic reasons..

I think there's also a big nod to Star Wars in this, anyone else reminded of Porkins (from A New Hope) death when watching the trailer?

It is a Lucasarts film so it'll probably have references to other movies throughout... Like ET in the Ball turret of a B-17, or something..

I totally agree on the CGI being inertia-less, when is sombody going to do some CGI that looks like it has some weight to it?

Gotta admit, I think he nailed the handling of the X-wings and Tie-Fighters far better than these UFO-51's

I would be much happier with a true as possible story line. Unforchantly Hollywood is more interested in sales than the truth. Peal Harbor was visually stunning but totally spoilt by the plot, acting and direction. Liberty Bell is the best of the US flight film IMA.

I'm taking a guess that you mean "Memphis Belle" ?
