SGCSG1 Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 That's what apple movie trailers says, anyway: http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/theredbaron/ I know it's not the movie it could have been but I want to see it anyway. Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 It's 'marginally' better than flyboys....enjoy Quote
+Olham Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 SGCSG1, the movie is quite good, if you just imagine, it is another German Jasta. Don't expect it to be the historical MvR at all, but another Staffelführer, and you will be fine. The computer generated flying scenes are much more realistic than in "Flyboys". Quote
Duce Lewis Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Cool Beans! We've been waiting for this for awhile Region 1 DVD should follow too Quote
Burning Beard Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 I found it very depressing, and there seemed to be a sound problem on the version I have. I found it to be pretty historically inaccurate on things that could have been easily fixed (Hawker flying and SE5 being a little portly and having a beard?). The flying scenes were good, and the 3D modeling was also quite good. Beard Quote
JFM Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 The computer generated flying scenes are much more realistic than in "Flyboys". All five minutes of them, from what I understand. I received advice to "park my brain under my seat" when I saw Flyboys and by doing so I was able to enjoy the movie. Won't be able to do it with this one. Quote
Rickitycrate Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 I can't imagine you could JFM. Not after all your research and dedication to knowing the man's life. Quote
+Olham Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 JFM - by all means, don't even think it was about MvR, but some other Jasta. The only way to enjoy it. Quote
JFM Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 No, I don't even think I can do that. Albatros D.s in vertical power dives while in a formation tighter than the Blue Angels? Somehow I made it through Flyboys but no, no, I better stay away. Just all the ridiculous Roy Brown stuff will have me guffawing at the screen. Hmmm, maybe if I approached it as a comedy... Quote
+Olham Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 ...or after a couple of Jack Daniels' ? Yeah, the dive and the roll rate are nonsense. You would wish, they would do one movie with the right advisors for WW1 aircraft, flying and combat. Let's hope, that Peter Jackson finds a good script. Quote
