Fortress (2010)

[Kongo-Otto]

Darn! until cliking the link from OP i thaught its a remake of this one:

The new graphics, physics and rendering ability of air combat simulation type software is so spectacular. You couple that with new software animation tools... poke in a few actors and you've got an exciting epic film.

Shooting air combat sequences in the past required a great deal of expense, qualified pilots and in air camera work. Those days are done. People are accustomed to wild setups for animations and special effects in movies, from the likes of Iron man, X-men, transformers, etc.

I look forward to air combat war stories with the new software tools making it all possible.

Hmmmm......better watch "Memphis Belle", the movie, not the documentary.

Pretty bad movie , Memphis Belle is easily x10 better .

I really do hope that someday, somewhere, somebody will do AGAIN flak like this.... strange thing is You can actually fly through this stuff-well most of the time- and live.

Game is B-17 Mighty Eighth by Microprose.

I downloaded the film. As an old B17-II simmer the worst this is was that they didn't even try to show the Norden bomb sight in action. They just put the cross on the target and pressed the button.

Run Roger! Run! Is a trap.

Making aviation films must be incredibly difficult. At least one would assume so, based on how bad they always are.

The movie concept looks good but the CGI looks like a game.
Someone mentioned European Air War. That's not too far from the truth.
Tom and Jerry would look right at home in this movie.
Hopefully they will add a bit more realism to these sequences.
