You might want to watch the clip again, because your description of that part is absurd.

Give a chance...
 
Technical and historic details aside, how often do we get a film that covers what we all appreciate?!
Of course, they're make it look like '40's star wars, but I'll take what I can get!
If it helps keep the memory alive of all the sacrifce that millions made, I'll keep my fingers crossed it's not a total waste of time and money...

I noticed a lot of "Hollywood" stuff in there. Why can't these film makers just keep things historical?

I'll watch it for sure despite the inaccuracies, but i don't think i'll go to a movie theater so it's going to be a DVD rental for me.

Come to think of it, i've watched and even enjoyed other not to realistic films that feature some aviation but the only one i saw in a theater was memphis belle.

What i'd really like to see is Peter Jackson doing the Dambusters remake as was rumored at some point. I know you'll all say "it's the guy who did lord of the rings and king kong", but i think he's a good choice.

Rumor has it he's an aviation buff so he might just do it justice and he's also been involved in other historical productions. I think he shot a special short film for the ANZAC museum in New Zealand, you go into the museum and there's a full scale trench diorama you can sit in and over the top of the trench is the projection screen where the film is displayed, showing a WWI infantry charge.

I just pray that the German aircraft have swastikas on them so we don't have to endure 50 pages of complaints about that.

Watch again:

At 2:15 a P-51 loop like a Fokker Dr.1 and shoot at left wing of yellow wing tip Bf-109.

In the next frame a Me-262 lost this left wing...

Hope that this (dis)continuity be only in trailer... :P

I'm assuming that's just sloppy editing with regards to the trailer.

One thing you can count on in this film. . . Wilhelm screams x1000

Of course it's absurd, that's why I mentioned it. The mistake in the trailer is called a "continuity error", look it up.

[Edit] see Sokol1's post above

There is no such thing as a "continuity error" in a trailer. It was a montage of combat scene clips from the movie. If the same thing happens in the movie, then it's a "continuity error".

I see, it's a word game here, I didn't realize my posts had to be approved by a grammar nazi. :rolleyes:
