Flyboys is a nice little overlooked movie
« on: December 31, 2007, 01:33:33 AM »
Very old-fashioned film, with some outstanding aerial battle cinematography, and the CGI work looks very natural.  I didn't hate James Franco in it.  Looks OMG2 on Blu Ray, especially this fuck awesome dogfight around a Zeppelin.

It's not meh, it's good.  It's structured like a 1940s movie filmed with today's tech.  James Franco plays the same smirky fuck in every movie, but it suited the character in this one.   And yeah, it's a great tech demo - it was digitally shot, so the PQ is pristine.

It's an old-fashioned movie that isn't laced with hipster irony or borderline scumbags as protagonists, so I don't really expect anyone under thirty to like it.  Nevermind.

well i like old movies (for fuck's sake i have an issue of Golden Age of Hollywood in my bag right now, which has a "kids get off my lawn" article about the 70s) but i had heard that this was just not a good film all around.

I wasn't expecting much either from what I had read, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I'll give it a shot.  WWI!  Yay!  And I see Jean Reno in the cast listing.
