i must have seen a different film!!
Did you people see the same film I saw?
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
If you read such a grand title and learn that a great fan of Aviation like Harrison Ford is narrating, then it is extremely frustrating to discover the vast lack of detail of this movie. After a promising intro, you literally get infuriated by the ever repeating scheme of praising the greatness of airplanes and what we could not do without them (let alone the ever repeating vocal theme that vigorously burns itself into your auditory cortex). It's like you wait for the beat to drop – but it never drops.Of course, the film in general is beautifully made if you only look at the visual aspect, so it would wonderfully work for some soothing imagery in resting areas at airports - without sound.But being an aviation enthusiast myself, I just cannot take this film seriously or recommend it to anyone else.
Where are the airplanes? I get that airplanes have an impact on flower delivery - but this movie really should have more about the actual Airplane.Especially considering this went to IMAX.....big waste by the producers...You could have made such a better movie that would have appealed to a wider audience - but you've narrowed yourself down to the K- 5 audience. Shame.When you promote a movie as much as this one - and you promote to the Aeronautical community - at least provide some footage that would make them happy - Total fail by the producers.....Please try again - and make it more suited for Plane Fans.
This was quite a deception. I expected a documentary about airplanes, why they're magical, and some technology and technical stuff. You'll get none of this. What you get is some contemplative aerial views of why travellng around the world is great. It surely is great, even though showing the Trevi fountain surrounded by tourists is not the best way to depict it.Some good points though. The first part does a fantastic job of reminding us how lucky we are to live in the early days of fast travel and how much the entire world has changed in the blink of an eye. Harrison Ford does a great job at narrating all of this.Airplanes lovers will be left out in the cold.
Think of your childhood, did you ever have the dream of being a pilot? Were you fascinated the first time you rode in an airplane? Have you ever pondered what the airplane means and what it has done for modern society? If you have even slightly wondered about any of these questions, you should see this film. This film tells a great story of the history of mankind. It is also an inspiration for the next generation of aviation enthusiasts. If you visit the Air and Space Museum, this is a must see. You will like it!The film is in IMAX and the shots of the sky, the water, the monuments, and the flight are spectacular.
