the creators of wall - e and up once had an interactive division . why did they close it , and does it matter ?
based on the 2008 computer animated film from pixar animation studios , the video game version of wall - e involves playing as the lonely robot as he navigates a trash - tainted world and begins an unlikely trek across the cosmos .
wall - e , aside from probably being the biggest family movie of the year , is also making waves in the video game industry by being the first localized video game to hit the current generation of consoles in the middle east . thq and pluto games revealed that the movie ' s tie - in game will actually have versions released in arabic in an effort to appeal to gamers around the region .
game would play would be tricky ; the genre - deconstructing horror - comedy doesn’t initially seem friendly to any well - known video game formats .
health charge ( yellow ) : wall•e and eve can replenish their health by collecting health charges . they can be found in red or grey bnl crates .
wall - e is a classic , but it will never appeal to people who are happy with art only when it has as little bite as possible .
the playstation 3 , wii , and xbox 360 versions feature nine explorable worlds . the microsoft windows , playstation 2 , and playstation portable versions feature eighteen worlds , and the nintendo ds features fourteen explorable worlds . the wii is the only version of the game that features 3 head - to - head multiplayer modes , while the nintendo ds version feature co - op modes playable as wall•e or eve . as the player plays through the levels of the nintendo ds version , they unlock clips from the movie viewable at any time . the playstation 2 , psp and windows versions allow the player to use music to summon reject bots throughout the game . the story mode seems to alter the character ' s roles and features differences from the movie such as wall•e can commonly use his laser , eve is tasered by auto ( while wall•e being tasered in the film ) , wall•e repairing eve ( in the film , eve tries to repair wall•e ) , and wall•e surviving getting crushed by the holo - detector .
quite touching and entertaining , wall - e is not the masterpiece some claim it to be , but it is another remarkable film from pixar all the same .
over all unless ur a fan of the film dont play this game , its boring , i just do it for the views , so for more wall . e follow the link for the playlist urltoken

considering all of the money behind massive movie franchises , reception to video game tie - ins for these properties tend to be . . .
based on the 2008 computer animated film from pixar animation studios , the video game version of wall - e involves playing as the lonely robot as he navigates a trash - tainted world and begins an unlikely trek across the cosmos . gameplay consists of using wall - e ' s distinct abilities to create
cubes
used to build platforms or to create distractions . in addition to solving puzzles throughout the solo adventure , up to four players can compete in mini - games ranging from timed races through space to competitive battles .
now that marvel ' s dominance has spread across screens both big and small , the next logical step is to take over the video game industry .
laser charge ( red ) : laser charges replenish wall•e ' s laser gauge . look for laser charges when you destroy red or grey bnl crates . you may also collect these from the laser recharge stations .
no movie can be a downer that fills you with pure exhilaration . you leave wall - e with a feeling of the rarest kind : that you ' ve just enjoyed a close encounter with an enduring classic .
if wall - e has anything original to say , it takes place in the first 30 minutes on a planet heaped high with junk . but the parallels between fiction and reality are almost too painful to contemplate .
, nevertheless perfectly encapsulates the philosophical core of the type of video game it should aspire to be . if the enthusiastic critical acclaim and high sales numbers of
for the most part , wall - e follows the plot of the movie , with earth ' s population having evacuated the planet due to overwhelming levels of trash and other waste byproducts of humanity ' s consumer urge . left behind are a horde of waste allocation load lifter earth - class robots ( or wall - es ) , who are tasked with collecting and cleaning the world from top to bottom so that one day , people can live on its surface once again . however , after hundreds of years , only one wall - e droid remains , lonely carrying out its job as best it can until one day , a ship lands and deploys a robot named eve , whose task is to search for life on earth . as wall - e falls in love with eve , eve discovers that he has found what she ' s been looking for and takes off for space . following his heart , wall - e chases her and essentially discovers a life outside of his sheltered world .
“gnomon was crucial in my success in the video game industry . being exposed to constant creativity , inspiration , and critique was extremely helpful for my transition into game development on the artist side of things . ”
wall - e was released on june 24 , 2008 . it was developed by asobo studio and published by thq for pc , ps3 , xbox 360 , psp , nds , ps2 , mac , wii , and cell .
after hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for , wall - e ( short for waste allocation load lifter earth - class ) discovers a new purpose in life ( besides collecting knick - knacks ) when he meets a sleek search robot named eve . eve comes to realize that wall - e has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet ' s future , and races back to space to report her findings to the humans ( who have been eagerly awaiting word that it is safe to return home ) . meanwhile , wall - e chases eve across the galaxy and sets into motion one of the most exciting and imaginative comedy adventures ever brought to the big screen . joining wall - e on his fantastic journey across a universe of never - before - imagined visions of the future , is a hilarious cast of characters including a pet cockroach , and a heroic team of malfunctioning misfit robots .
players control wall - e for most of the game and frequently find themselves navigating the little droid through levels that are practically obstacle courses filled with dangerous water hazards , pits or other hazards . as you move through these environments , you ' ll frequently find yourself tasked with different platforming objectives , such as hitting switches to move platforms for wall - e to jump on or throwing cubes into bins to open gates . fortunately , there are a ton of cubes that wall - e can generate from different vending stations , which will disperse one of four kinds of materials for these blocks . apart from the generic cubes , he can make heavier blocks , magnetized squares that repulse metal and charge cubes that are explosive , but power up pylons that open new pathways for him . wall - e is also incredibly compact , and can compress himself into a portable block for a variety of reasons , such as being bounced by pneumatic platforms or cylinders from one area to another .

wall - e follows the story of a small , sentient robot whose sole purpose is to clean up earth ' s voluminous garbage . in the year 2700 , mankind has left behind millions of tiny trash collectors to make the planet habitable again . yet only wall - e remains functional , dutifully performing his task while collecting an odd assortment of souvenirs . his uneventful life takes on new meaning when he encounters a sleek , shiny robot named eve , sent by humans to monitor the clean - up progress .

there are some things that are so cute , so heart warming , that you can ' t help but laugh or smile when you see them . when it comes to disney and pixar ' s latest hit film , wall - e , this seems like an innate response to the lonely droid that manages to find love and adventure through strange and unlikely circumstances . with such an engaging character and tale , you ' d hope that the game adaptation of the film would be just as good . unfortunately , wall - e is just another lackluster movie game with surprisingly weak visuals , poor design and loads of technical issues that doesn ' t do the diminutive robot justice .
although wall - e ends with a very apt and moving nod to city lights , it is in fact pixar ' s answer to modern times - both a bravura summation of everything the studio is great at and a

while you ' ll control wall - e for most of the game , players will also get a chance to control eve and take to the skies . eve has the ability to accelerate and brake on a dime , as well as fire lasers at any object that gets in her way , which is quite useful as you ' re trying to clear a path through pipes or other confined spaces . many of these blasts are powerful , but they can be further augmented with another pick up that boosts each shot ' s strength for a short time . on top of that , players can deploy a power surge blast to short circuit nearby pylons or charge them up quickly , allowing eve to reach new areas . eve can even pick up wall - e for short periods of time to cross dangerous areas . however , unlike wall - e , eve isn ' t shackled by the ground and can fly in any direction , giving her full freedom to explore her environments as she goes about her tasks .

unfortunately , that ' s one of the largest downsides to the game , because controlling eve is infinitely more engaging than wall - e . with her , you can perform agile turns , loops and other maneuvers through environments . with wall - e , you ' ll find yourself frequently fighting two problems : controls that are sometimes nonsensical or affected by environmental factors that aren ' t immediately apparent , and an atrociously flawed camera system . first , let ' s handle the control issues . for the most part , players will be able to make their way through environments with a few exceptions : wall - e doesn ' t really have any kind of speed to speak of , nor does he have a lot of height to his jumps , so you ' ll find yourself just clearing certain leaps . however , when wall - e compresses himself into a box , his control can literally go out of the window . while you can influence his movements with the analog stick , he ' s frequently at the whim of the environment or the area he ' s in , which sucks when you realize that most of these have hazards attached to them or drop wall - e directly to his doom . it ' s even worse when you get to sections with magnetized walls or air jets , which practically removes all control from the player . you can push the analog stick with the same force and find yourself either crawling from one area to another or suddenly accelerated you faster than you expected , which can frequently force you to make a mistake or accidentally kill the droid . what ' s more , certain surfaces will appear to randomly remove any traction that he has , making it seem as though the robot ( who has traction treads ) is ice skating . this makes some sense when the areas he ' s moving on look slick , but when you ' re moving on concrete or metal and you appear to slide around , this is both confusing and frustrating .
there are only few games that would suit the middle east ' s morals more than wall - e . the game depicts family virtues through a fun and adventurous story line ,
said luke keighran , thq export sales & marketing manager , in a press release . despite the fact that the area has been ignored by game developers as a strong market , thq seems to think that this might change in the future . according to keighran ,
we do hope it will be the first of a long line up for arabic titles in the future .
that nails it . don ' t get the wrong idea – brave : the video game is , as far as licensed games go , pretty good . and the concept ' s solid , blending the lego series ' family - friendly platforming with a 3d twin - stick shooter .
as the games industry in the middle east has grown and evolved over the past decade , video game development and game localization aimed at the middle eastern market remains a tremendous opportunity . at first glance , the complexities of language , values , social fabric and an entirely foreign pop culture can , understandably , seem daunting to developers and publishers , particularly from a western perspective .

has by far the most potential as an amazing video game . for starters , it’s the most action - heavy , meaning a direct adaptation would be a comparatively simple process — who hasn’t looked at that incredible fight scene against the crazy 88s and wondered what it would be like to play something that amazing ?

the groundwork that was laid by the early pioneers in middle east game development has paved the way for current western developers and publishers to successfully enter the space today , and they are more cognizant of the challenges and specifics of this market . one of the greatest challenges along the way included attempts at pure language localization that weren’t met with much success . thq was one of the first western publishers to enter the arabic speaking market and quickly learned the necessity of cultural relevancy : ifirst localized title , wall - e , was unsuccessful , as it was marketed to saudi arabia , a country with no cinemas .

we like the move ( i and my 6 - year - old son ) . and he was happy when i ' ve bought the game . but after couple hours of playing he said that the game is boring .
obviously meant for younger children , not much to do in the game , very repetative , no achievement or challenge .
this is a really great game which the kids love , like the movie . interesting and varied challenges keep them engaged .
shortly after playing through brave : the video game , the companion piece for the new pixar movie , i was given the chance to ask the film ' s director and producer a few questions . one was right at the head of the queue . why does pixar , a studio that creates brilliant movies and clearly has impeccable standards , content itself with farming out the interactive side to third parties ?
surely one of the most critical sequels ever for activision . destiny has been a massive success , but it ' s a game that has had a lot of criticism leveled at it . even hardcore players have strong opinions on the shortcomings of the game , and bungie has a very steep hill to climb with the second game . it really could make or break the series .
we ' ve been assaulted with crazy - titled spin - offs and remasters , but the sequel the fans really want is strongly believed to be on the way in 2017 . as is to be expected , not much is known about kingdom hearts iii at this time , although it ' s been confirmed that new disney licenses tangled and big hero 6 will be featured . although not confirmed , rumors have also spread that titles such as frozen , toy story , wall - e , and even star wars may make an appearance . pinches of salt at the ready , though .

the last entry of this list is , by far , the most obvious and necessary . given the meteoric success of marvel’s movies and the sheer wealth of possibilities afforded by the large variety of diverse characters and settings , it’s nothing short of astounding that someone hasn’t taken any of these movies and made a killer video game companion . the transition from superhero action film to superhero action game seems so simple and straightforward that one wonders if there’s some behind - the - scenes corporate intrigue blocking such projects from coming into fruition . why else would disney and marvel wait ?
i am currently a full - time student attending st . edward’s university in the pursuit of an interactive game studies degree , which is essentially a liberal arts degree for game design . i was raised in and around the austin area by two outrageously supportive parents , and thus i have learned to always aim high . as such , all of my professional goals involve reaching a point in which designing and / or writing for video games is the only things i do with my days . i dream of standing in front of a whiteboard as a creative director at bioware or naughtdog or sitting in front of my laptop hammering out the final line of dialogue to top off a three year game endeavor .

the world today is dominated by a constantly evolving , media - centric culture . ever since the 1980’s the video game industry has been climbing the entertainment ladder , gradually overtaking its audio and video competitors in both revenue and social relevancy . in this post 9 / 11 era the societies of the middle east and its western counterparts have seen a rise in jingoistic virtual misrepresentations of foreign cultures . to prevent any further development of the divide that separates these distinctly disparate populations , the virtual gaming industry must find a foothold in the middle east on a local and international scale . as a historically unexplored market , the middle east offers a wealth of monetary and developmental opportunities . though both communities have already made significant headway in this endeavor , there is still progress to be made . if the cultural and economic obstacles that plague such progress can be overcome , the world will see the next step in the evolution of videogames and global culturalization .

the realm of video gaming culture has been plagued by racially biased depictions of foreign culture for several decades . this issue has been most prevalent in the arabic - speaking world and the predominantly english - speaking regions of the west . i postulate that , in order to halt the spread of these xenophobic misrepresentations , the gaming industry must find a culturally aware presence in the middle east’s local and international business sectors . the development of this presence has already begun in areas such as saudi arabia ( with the rise of companies like semanoor ) and abu dhabi ( after the establishment of ubisoft’s middle eastern studio ) . the select few gaming corporations currently embedded in the middle east have already begun tearing down the wall of dilemmas , ranging from low employment and lack of investments to the need for cultural flexibility and insight , that stands betwixt them and their establishment of a globally recognized industry . if these organizations , and others like them , can give rise to a welcoming , affluent , and socially relevant market they will pave the way for a new era of enriched and wildly profitable game development .
however , publishing video games for a middle eastern audience can yield positive results despite its challenges . reliable statistics for the region are few and far between , but the middle eastern gaming industry is likely worth somewhere between $ 1 billion and $ 2 . 6 billion in terms of revenue across software and hardware . western developers and publishers have the chance to successfully enter and influence a very green and receptive market , ready to be engaged and monetized .

a titan in the upcoming flurry of sequels , bioware ' s next mass effect game is a sequel of sorts to the critically - acclaimed space opera trilogy . andromeda changes up the story , not continuing directly from the last game , but instead taking place a long time after . it ' ll introduce a new protagonist and a new galaxy , as human civilization moves out of the milky way . despite this , bioware has said the game is not considered to be the start of a new trilogy . it ' s also been confirmed that no original crew members will appear , nor will the reapers .
games have been met with overwhelming acclaim . it’s difficult to tell which licensed game will be the next to blow everyone’s expectations away , but there are plenty of movies and franchises that would make worthy candidates .
it ' s a game fans of the series have been longing for for way too long . if reports are accurate , we cold see the return of sora , donald , and goofy sometime next year .
following on from the successful first game , the stick of truth , this new title will continue the blend of traditional rpg and the crude humor of south park that fans of the series loved so much .
ultimately , once the barriers of language and culture have been successfully understood and penetrated , the middle eastern gamer is no different than any gamer anywhere else in the world . the interactive experience sought and enjoyed in the middle east is no different than the typical fun , entertaining game developed for the u . s . markets . it is my strong belief that partnerships between western and middle eastern developers are the key to success ; with new marketplaces , stores and digital distribution channels , there is no reason why a successful game cannot — with a little bit of effort and insight — bridge the cultural divide for a truly global game experience .
games has tended to be harry potter himself . aside from the odd game based on quidditch , most harry potter games settle for merely adapting the exact events of the movies , thusly ignoring the massive potential of the
already injecting some classic fps action into the game industry with the fantastic reboot of doom , id is set to do the same for arena combat next year with quake champions , an online competitive fps for pc .
in the movie , darwin convinces speckles to stop the madness and darwin uses the computer virus on his pda to take it down , but in the game , mooch goes inside the giant walking being and destroys it himself .
“ the game features elements such as spectacular weather effects and cut - scenes from the film which will bring alive the world of brother bear . [ it has ] four worlds , 16 levels and unlockable bonus games . ”
set for release in 2017 , with no exact period specified at this time , the third game is already looking like it could be a major hit , partially thanks to what looks like a very ambitious use of the cloud .
while the local industry battles with the aforementioned obstacles , larger companies such as sony and ubisoft face a completely different set of problems . historically , international game ventures in the middle east have not fared well . thq was one of the first western publishers to learn the importance of cultural relevancy with its release of wall - e in saudi arabia , a country with hardly any cinemas . another instance of failed middle eastern market penetration can be found in the release of several “arabized” mmo ( massive multiplayer online ) games that came to the middle east sporting nonsensical google - translated text , technical flaws such as the lack of unicode text , zero right - to - left support and no support websites ( khasawneh ) . when facing such a culturally rich market , international developers need to adapt their usual western approach to marketing and game design . clearly elements such as “sex , gambling , alcohol and nudity are obvious subjects to avoid . ” unfortunately for these western gaming powers , the list does not stop with the obvious “as approaches to topics such as family , workplace ethics , politics and war” must be delicate and thought out to avoid misrepresentation in the game environment ( khasawneh ) . luckily companies such as ubisoft have already taken this into consideration . local general manager of the abu dhabi studio yannick theler stated that the company’s goal is to try to “understand how the arabic people play games and try to localise the games if we can…they play games and buy games already , but localising the products will bring us closer to the people” ( underwood ) . this mission is not only the primary reason for the establishment of ubisoft’s abu dhabi office but should also be the business model for any triple a developer looking to invest in the middle eastern gaming market .
saber ' s secret partner
yanshu
( who is really speckles ) does not talk to darwin at all in the movie . it is also interesting to note that there is not much difference with the voice in the game .
by instead focusing on a deep combat system rather than constructing long , complicated levels . whatever form it takes , any game that stays true to the love of punching that defined the two films has the potential to be a great time .
new additions will include rage arts , a new critical hit system , and a new stagger system which allows the extension of combos with more hits following the stagger . this should open up the game for more fluid and fast - paced battles .
let ' s just say : want . a lot . and in the next few years , we ' re finally going to get it . . . the sequel will focus on ellie this time . she ' s out for revenge and will stop at nothing to get it . neil druckmann , who is writing the game , said that while the first game was a story about love , this sequel is a story about hate . sounds like we ' ll be going to some very dark places .
wow , this game provides hours of entertainment wether it be through the main storyline or in the sandbox town of ' woody ' s roundup ' . there are so few games available today that allow you to play multiplayer with someone physically sat next to you and this game provides hope that it ' s not a concept forgotten by games developers . i ' m always happy to suggest it when people are round - and although it will guarantee you a strange look from a room of 20 - somethings , once you ' ve been playing it for 10 minutes it ' s undeniable how appropriate the game is for all age groups and the reception it gets is astounding . a necessity for any gamers library and you can finally defeat the evil emperor zurg in high - definition .
speckles fate in the end of the movie is to end clusterstorm and to help saber remove all the chips on the appliances , however in the end of the game , g - force celebrates their accomplished mission and speckles pops out alive , still wanting revenge .
speckles returns and admits that he has escaped from the garbage truck when he reveals to be the
real
mastermind of clusterstorm in the movie , though he returns to help the team on their mission before he admits to be behind the plan in the game .
, and the occasional indie game remaining in any significant capacity . 3d platformers can offer some amazing experiences , and while pixar has had some serviceable platformers made of its properties in the past , there’s yet to be one that rivals the quality of the movies themselves .
microsoft has also confirmed that the game will be an xbox play anywhere title . this means you ' ll only need to buy it once , but will be able to play it on xbox one or pc , and your saves and progress will synchronize across devices .
rest assured , red dead redemption 2 will undoubtedly be one of , if not the best - selling game of the year , and given the quality of the original and rockstar ' s open - world titles in general , we ' re looking forward to it already .
the new story won ' t be focusing on the fantasy d & d theme of the first game , and will instead switch to a superhero - themed adventure . players will play as the new kid who wants to become a part of the series ' infamous gang .
i was plesently surprised with how good this game is . most movie tie - in games are just awful , but this one is really rather good . the gameplay and voice acting are top - notch . be aware , it is quite challenging in some part ' s .
would be a lot of fun , and the perspective that genre allows could let players replicate the amazing fire reflection shot that worked so well in the movie . if developers could work the slo mo drug from the movie into the game , that would be icing on the cake .
we don ' t know a great deal about what destiny 2 will deliver , but we do know bungie is planning more populated and dynamic worlds with a big focus on making the worlds of destiny more lifelike , with towns and other settlements within the actual game world , not limited solely to public spaces , and more npc interaction . whether this will mean more story content , and an improvement on the storytelling as a whole remains to be seen . given the heavy tide of complaints about this for the first game , bungie would be crazy to ignore this .
further reveals have introduced more of the characters in the game , as well as other elements , such as combat , puzzling , and exploration . the vr capability may also help make this a very different and hopefully much better resident evil , an entry the series really needs right now .


the screenplay about men in aerial combat was written by phil sears , blake t. evans and david s. ward with the story by blake t. evans .

the squadron consisted of five french officers and 38 american volunteers who wanted to fly and fight in world war i before the united states ' entry into the war in 1917 .

the film ends with an epilogue that relates the fate of each american pilot to the real-life lafayette escadrille pilot upon whom his character was based .

generally means it will be followed by some very creative

though the film met with commercial failure , bill takes comfort in some of the positive critical responses , and hopes for a better reception in the foreign markets . he also noted that the film’s financial failure was disappointing , but his directorial work was generally praised , which alleviates some of the apprehensions about future projects . for instance , bill sent a copy of “flyboys” to tom cruise , who requested to see it and reportedly loved the film .
bill likened the film industry to gambling , referring to himself and his colleagues as “professional gamblers . ”

pretty good movie with some great acting and dialogue . why three stars you ask ? the film follows the same exact story as almost every other ww1 / 2 pilot film . it has the distracting love story tied in with the group of rag tag characters going through training and then dealing with loosing there friends in combat . i would recommend tuskegee airmen , and the red barron film over this one . there is nothing wrong with this film its just not in my opinion worth paying for . wait till the price drops or it ends up on prime

flyboys
tells an old - fashioned tale of courage and heroism with the latest in cg technology ; unfortunately , critics say , the technology ends up overshadowing everything else . the film tells the story of a group of americans who volunteered to fly in wwi alongside the french . according to the critics ,

at a master class session , bill discussed his notre dame education , but was dismissive of film school as a necessary way to enter the industry .
a truly great film today is only going to come from someone who , as mrmojok pointed , can bankroll it entirely and avoid the idiots who water it down for the lowest common denominator . munich , for example , was not a simple film . it had complex characters and a fairly sophisticated storyline - but imho it was a great film . had it been made in the normal hollywood style it would have starred brad pitt and looked like commando .
about the only thing in this film that ties into those
true events
, is the existence of a first world war and a lafayette esquadrille .

what makes “flyboys” particularly unique is that it was made outside of the studio system , and was thus completely independently funded . bill is inclined toward what he calls “the smaller film , ” and while he admits that “nobody wants to [ work within the studio system ] , ” he has often done it with positive results , among them “my bodyguard” and “the sting . ”

this movie has not been described as a remake of the 1958 film
lafayette escadrille
directed by william wellman , but we can only assume someone , somewhere , sometime will say wellman ' s film
provided inspiration
for
flyboys
( which is always the best way to throw a bone to the copyright lawyers ) .
lafayette escadrille
was wellman ' s swan song and , unfortunately , a rather tedious boy - meets - girl - who - turns - out - to - be - a - french - prostitute story .
forever strong
was screened at the lds film festival in 2008 , then went on to gross $ 719 , 556 in theaters ( boxofficemojo . com ) .
flyboys , ” which opened on friday , is a modest film as things are now measured . its ensemble cast has no eye - catching names . its director , tony bill , while a solid craftsman , has never been a major box office draw . and its budget of around $ 55 million , though substantial , is only a fraction of what studios routinely spend on their blockbusters .
we , my wife and i , saw
flyboys
last night . we think it is the best film to come out of film makers in years . the action was just great . the love story was refreshing . we left the theater feeling good , happy , and completely entertained . so , the movie wasn ' t
historically accurate .
it didn ' t claim to be . complete accuracy is for documentaries . those men were men of courage that flew those planes . what men our great grandfathers were . we ' ll buy this one and put it in our movie collection .
many people complaining about this film complain about either the cgi effects and apparent over - use or just plain horrible ( in the minds of those reviewers ) effects , or they complain about the fact that the film is riddled with one cliche after another . i would say the film is guilty as charged in those areas , but that doesn ' t mean it isn ' t a fun movie to watch and enjoy . i love the early years of aviation , the old style dog fighting in bi - planes and the like , so i thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to go see flyboys on the big screen . while not the greatest film , it was worth the price of admission and was filled with enough aircraft acrobatics to be great fun . thankfully this disc comes with some interesting extras in the special features that help raise the value when considering a purchase . personal recommendation , watch for sales on this title and get a copy of this film at a bargain price . while i find it fun and worth owning in my library , the msrp is a bit on the higher side for this title , so you may wish to wait for a nice sale to grab your copy .

the film follows the enlistment , training and combat experiences of a group of young americans who volunteer to become fighter pilots in the lafayette escadrille , the 124th air squadron formed by the french in 1916 . the squadron consisted of five french officers and 38 american volunteers who wanted to fly and fight in world war i during the main years of the conflict , 1914–1917 , before the united states later joined the war against the central powers . the film ends with an epilogue that relates each film character to the real - life lafayette escadrille figure on whom the movie was based .

i ' m on the floor - - - which tarentino film is that from , fiv ? i ' ve always thought the screenplay of top goon had to have been written by some completely depraved hollywood screenwriters who deliberately wanted to make a military film with a tom of finland gay porn subplot - - - and succeeded beyond their wildest dreams . i ' d imagine the film is a gay classic just for all the near naked buff men . i ' ve always thought it was a joke from beginning to end - - - saw it one time , laughed my head off , and that was enough .
franco has great potential for this film . he ' s done well in dramas by first time directors - - just look at his role in the first film nicholas cage directed ,
sonny .
his work in
city by the sea
showed he can work very well with mature , established ( okay . . old ) actors like robert deniro , so pairing him with jean reno makes sense .

academy award winner and notre dame graduate tony bill came back to his alma mater this weekend to screen his latest directorial effort “flyboys . ” bill has worked as an actor , director and producer over a four - decade career . his first major acting role was in the 1963 frank sinatra film “come blow your horn . ” after acting in several films , he switched to producing , and in 1973 produced the robert redford - paul newman classic “the sting , ” for which he won an oscar .
the film is gorgeous , and the producers clearly loved flying since the movie shows several types of bombers and even a zeppelin . unfortunately , the amazing aerial footage is not matched by the cliché - ridden screenplay .
naim shaw , actor , and janna williams , usaf veteran and coordinator of the union county office of the veteran success center , will read selections from world war i and america , and introduce the evening’s film .

hi all , the subject matter of this film had great potential but it was wasted urltoken us pilot eddie rickenbacker scored 26 kills in ww1 . urltoken in my opinion this film debases him and other us pilots who flew in this conflict . it also debases the german imperial pilots . there is no record or evidence of a ww1 german pilot straffing a british , french or american pilot on the ground . but what does hollywood care about history ? here ' s another link to the ' blue max ' film made in 1968 . . . nearly 40 years ago ! ! urltoken i suspect that cgi has degraded cinematic entertainment urltoken best regards , mb _ avro .

, about a lancaster crew and their german opposition . however , the need to make a film that would appeal to the us market meant he had to go for the memphis belle instead . i ' m not sure what a film of bomber would have been like . the book is unrelentingly bleak and the part of the story that takes place on the ground in germany is pretty horrific . if he ' d followed the book it would have been a very different film without much of a positive message . cheers , rocketdog .
this was a cool film . i found it entertaining and informative . i did not know americans volunteered for the french flying corps during wwi . would like to see more films like this . like the billy bishop story . . just a thought . .

i didn ' t think flyboys was terrible . i was disappointed in the lame love story plot a la ph . . however i didn ' t watch it with high expectations to begin with . i knew it was going to be a film with more of an emphasis on
entertainment
rather than historical accuracy . so from that viewpoint i was actually able to enjoy it . memphis belle is enjoyable if you can let go of the hard nosed history buff persona and look at it from a different angle . mostly , a story depicting the type of hardships that bomber crews endured during missions over fortress europe .

what was so frustrating about ' flyboys ' was the number details they got right . such as the references to ' archie ' ( not aa or ack - ack ) , the leader ' s pennants which he removed to go solo hunting after a patrol ( very authentic ) and the airfield itself . it would have cost no more to get much more right .
just about everything in the video - gamey world war i picture
flyboys
rings false , although the planes certainly are terrific . the film takes a strong subject , the americans who volunteered for the french as aviators in the lafayette escadrille , and turns it into romantic slush . good thing jean reno ' s around to give it some flavor : as the real - life capt . thenault , the stalwart french actor goes about his expositional business with gruff panache . you believe this man exists in a 1916 universe . too many of the other , younger cast members are about as 1916 as
the o . c .
this was an excellent movie about a part of the 1st world war that i didn ' t know about - the flimsy planes that they flew and fought in . a brilliant film and i ' m glad that someone decided to make this and honour those men .
needless to say , it was out of question to try to film dogfights with vintage planes that were almost a century old . to create the exciting confrontations , director tony bill turned to visual effects supervisor peter chiang and vfx producer fay mcconkey of double negative in london . we did more than 740 shots in total , chiang recalls . we started by previsualizing the battle sequences there were six of them . at the same time , we adapted our pipeline to the fact that flyboys was shot using the new genesis camera from panavision , a high - resolution 1920x1080 , full 10 - bit log color depth digital camera , designed to take panavision film camera lenses . all our images to date have been originated on film . so , the new camera system meant that we needed to create a completely new pipeline . first , the sony digital tapes were input through a sony srw1 tape deck retaining the digital quality that was captured . second , a new look up table was needed to view the images the correct way . response curves from panavision were given to us so we could work out the correct viewing system . the rest of the pipeline was also adapted to the new format .
fokker dr - 1 triplanes were never used in the great quantities seen in the film . the filmmakers used them because they were easily distinguished from the allied biplanes , and didn ' t want to leave viewers unsure as to who was on what side during these sequences .
flyboys
is one of those movies that tends to generate more questions than answers . the basic story concerns the adventures of the lafayette escadrille , young american fighter pilots who volunteered for the french military before the u . s . entered wwi . after consulting various crystal balls , tea leaves , and psychic hotlines , we found few more details about the movie , though .
i admit i was a bit skeptical of the pre - movie hype , another “independent” film boasting the true grit realities of war , a movie steeped in fact , based on historical events . the world war i film appeared to have it all : strong plot and interesting subplots , on the edge of your seat action , drama sprinkled with humor , attractive actors who could actually act , breathtaking cinematography , and memorial soundtrack , and a lion ( if you just go to view the lion , the price of the movie is well spent ) .
hi all , just seen ' flyboys ' . what a pos ! cgi is a disgrace and the plot is worse . the best ww1 aviation movie imo was ' the blue max ' . this link mixes flyboy clips with the blue max . the blue max was made in 1966 and sets the bar as far as i ' m concerned . urltoken best regards , mb _ avro .
blaine is given a small bear which he carries as a good luck charm . this is a reference to the 1927 movie wings , the first ever film to win the academy award for best picture , in which a pilot also carries a small bear as a good luck charm .
although bill does not know what his next project will be , he hopes to direct another film and is searching for the right script . whatever he chooses , his history of critical acclaim will ensure his credibility and talent , whether or not his project is the next “the sting . ”
in
flyboys
director tony bill handles his aerial war well enough . the numerous dogfights , however , are so souped up with digitally composited imagery that the thrills and the machines themselves end up diminished . and do we need such gimmicks as shots of bombs plummeting toward earth , photographed from the weapons ' point of view ? leave that morally dubious nonsense to michael bay and
pearl harbor .
this week at the movies , we’ve got antisocial behavior (
jackass : number two ,
with johnny knoxville and the gang ) , hell - raising politicos (
all the king’s men ,
starring sean penn ) , fearless warriors (
fearless ,
starring jet li ) , and flying aces (
flyboys ,
starring james franco ) . what do the critics have to say ?
in the scenes where the pilot crashes into no - mans - land , the germans soldiers are shown wearing spiked helmets . the germans abandoned these helmets in favor of the familiar trench helmets in mid - 1915 . they would not have been in use during the time portrayed in this film .
all the king’s men
has everything that makes for a compelling movie . it’s got a great cast ( sean penn , jude law , kate winslet , and anthony hopkins , among others ) . it’s based on a great novel ( by robert penn warren ) . it’s got great cinematography . unfortunately , critics say , the superlatives end there . loosely based on the life of populist louisiana governor huey
the kingfish
long ,
all the king’s men
tells the story of a small town rabble - rouser’s ascent in politics and descent into shady morality . critics say the film is too bombastic to work , with too many vague characters and an over - the - top performance from penn . the film received a muted reception in toronto ; it currently stands at 15 percent on the tomatometer . and it’s well below the 1949 oscar - winning original film ( 94 percent ) .

i dont buy the ' people wouldnt go and see a movie that we would like ' ' bit . the blue max / battle of britain ( for the time ) / aces high / tora tora tora also saving private ryan / apolcalypse now / full metal jacket all great films . i believe all were succesful at the box office , and all will be far more successful than flyboys , i am sure .
of course , the flyboys would never have gotten off the ground without the outstanding group of fresh faces posing as the wwi pilots . in training for their parts , the actors all took to the air in the vintage aircraft and were filmed flying , bringing the movie’s realism to new heights . the young ensemble cast included new comers philip winchester , abdul salis , tyler labine , david ellison , and jennifer decker .
in “flyboys , ” as it happens , the explosions and scampering soldiers are genuine , though the zeppelin itself is a digital replication of a 30 - foot miniature . “we knew that we needed to do a real explosion with the randomness and chaos rather than a computer - generated explosion , which would have been too calculated and obvious , ” said peter chiang , the visual - effects supervisor who oversaw the scene .
the story about men in aerial combat explores themes of friendship , racial prejudice , revenge , and love . the film follows the enlistment , training , and combat experiences of a group of young americans who volunteer to become fighter pilots in the lafayette escadrille , the 124th air squadron formed by the french in 1916 .
this film could be the breakout that franco is looking for , just as
top gun
was for tom cruise . franco is about same age as cruise was he filmed
top gun ,
and is in a similar place in his career .
top gun
propelled cruise into the upper reaches of stardom after his big break in
risky business
and decent roles in a few other movies . if it ' s any good at all ,
flyboys
might give franco the same sort of boost after his big break in the
spiderman
franchise , nice reviews in a few other films , and some work on television ( including a 2002 emmy nomination for his work in the television movie ,
james dean
) .

the film seems awfully long , and is made much longer by our hero ' s improbable adventures that seem to require landing his aircraft in absurdly hazardous conditions to carry out daring do on the ground . the aerial combat , which is all cgi , is sometimes good , but mostly just too , well , cgi .
horrible movie . no respect for historical accuracy and as an action film was predictable and boring . the character names were historically correct and thats about it . not every german plane was a red tri - plane , there was only one of those . also , every character in real life actually smoked . revisionist crap .
in its opening minutes the script of
flyboys
sets some sort of record for captioned scene - setters . first we ' re in aberdeen , texas , meeting our hero , dispossessed hunky rancher blaine rawlings ( james franco ) . ten seconds later in lincoln , neb . , we meet another future flyboy ( philip winchester ) and as he waves farewell to his love , the lady in question executes her contractually stipulated trot alongside the train .
dean devlin and marc frydman are the producers , and they pulled together a reported $ 60 million budget for the film . devlin was a producer for
stargate ,
godzilla ,
independence day ,
the patriot ,
and
cellular .
all of these movies seem to fall on the
pearl harbor
end of the spectrum , but frydman was behind
boiling point ,
nil by mouth ,
the contender ,
and most recently ,
the jacket .
so frydman seems to favor films falling the gap between art - house flick and cineplex mainstay . perhaps the direction
flyboys
takes will depend on a devlin / frydman cage match . or do you think they ' d prefer mud - wrestling ?
digital design in the early phases of a project increasingly opens the door to digital techniques in actual production , even with films that seem to be steeped in the grit of real life . on last year’s skateboarding film “lords of dogtown , ” for example , mr . chaintreuil assisted the filmmakers in building a pier in san diego .
the most famous of his directorial efforts is the 1980 matt dillon film “my bodyguard , ” a coming - of - age high school story about two unlikely friends . bill noted that he wanted “my bodyguard” to be a more realistic portrait of high school life , eschewing typical comedic clichã©s in favor of a more character - oriented approach .
to be honest , the film is not about the real lafayette escadrille , it is just a generic wwi aviation film that happens to feature americans fighting for france . cassidy is the squadron commanding officer because every single other veteran is dead , which is ridiculous . it gets worse . meeting the new recruits for the first time , the veteran cassidy informs them that their life expectancy is three to six weeks . the lafayette escadrille took losses , but it was not the suicide squad . i suspect that there are no other experienced pilots in the squadron other than cassidy because the script focuses on the young stars , and experienced pilots would have distracted from the young heroes’ story .
today i received an email from a friend who is not a very critical film viewer . he and his wife saw f last night . he thought it was stupid , idiotic , and grossly inferior to the blue max , and he isn ' t even a wwi flying buff . thought it was something for the children , not for adults .
during the air battles you see in flyboys , the french and english are in biplanes , and the germans are in bright red triplanes . this is so you , the viewer , can easily tell who are the good guys and who the bad guys are . however , most of the planes that the germans used were biplanes , not triplanes . as for the bright red paintjobs , not all of their triplanes were like that . you may know that the red baron flew a bright red triplane . this is to identify him as the leader of his squadron , and to identify him as an ace fighter pilot . the red baron also flew biplanes with a red finish , not only triplanes . making the good guys and bad guys easily recognizable in flyboys makes a better movie , because if everyone was flying biplanes the viewer might get confused . the viewers are lucky compared to wwi pilots . the pilots of wwi did not have the luxury of an enemy that only flew in bright red triplanes .
you forgot one thing about the
based on true events
disclaimer . through the film , you never see the french actually engage the enemy in the air , they stay on the ground and send the yanks off to fight . . . this in my opinion was not only true but quite accurate of the french , even by todays standards . . .
yet , an hour into the film , i could hardly wait for it to end . i had an uncontrollable urge to not only research the young american wwi pilots dubbed the knights of the air . . . but an even stronger desire to find out how many of the aerial dogfights were performed by actual vintage airplanes , and how many scenes were computer generated .
iâ´ve read all posts . . . and i only have to say . . . pearl harbor and flyboys are simply a piece of s * * t . an completeñy nonsense of planes trying to bite the tail to others and making anoying imposible maneuvers . the â´human storyâ´ , as someone said here are simply an stupid teen question . simply a piece of * * * * . sorry for my bad languaje . . . . but i wasted money in the cinema for both . vista suerte y al toro .
yet mr . haye , who is working on david fincher’s new orleans - based period film , “the curious case of benjamin button” — a project that uses only digital set designers — envisions a time when the entire field will be transformed by computer technology . mr . haye said , “with every production designer i work with , we move a little further in that direction . ”
without question , the non - humanoid stars of flyboys were the vintage aircraft . with each trip into battle , the planes took on specific personalities as they struggled to outfight and out fly each other . i too struggled trying to differentiate between computer generated imagery and the real deal . with the exception of the zeppelin encounter , it was impossible to distinguish reality from computer generation . the director delivered on his promise of putting the audience in the pilot’s cockpit . every aerial scene was an on the edge of your seat experience !
this film depicts the life and experiences of emma hale smith ( katherine nelson ) , including her childhood with a father who disliked religion , her courtship and marriage to joseph smith ( nathan mitchell ) , her life as the wife of the prophet and what happened following joseph ' s martyrdom . written and directed by gary cook . rated pg for mild thematic elements and brief violence .
veteran artist program - “vap takes artists who are also veterans , and propels their works and careers into the mainstream creative arts community…we are based in new york city but are currently creating programming across the country to expand the network and visibility of veteran artists . vap focuses on : visual arts , performing arts , writing / literature , film / video , and new / interactive media . ”
but drafting such ordinary places in 3 - d had its advantages , particularly as the physical sets required digital extensions to make them larger . mr . haye noted that tom duffield , the production designer of “the kingdom , ” had never worked with a digital set designer before , so mr . haye wound up on the project for nearly a year , as digital work seeped into the film .
the anti aircraft artillery shown in use by the germans was not of any type used by any side in the first world war , nor was anti aircraft fire nearly as effective or accurate as shown . were any of the portrayed shell bursts as close as they appeared in the film , they would have instantly destroyed the aircraft with the combination of the explosive power , fire , and shrapnel .
mr . chaintreuil , who began working in film with models and miniatures , said there were two levels of digital set designers . some “purely use the computer as a drafting tool , which means they’re basically computer drafters , ” he said . “then digital set designers like myself get called in to do the incredible or the impossible . we get brought in to do crazy surfaces and things you just wouldn’t imagine . ”
the flyboys ’ plot revolves around a handful of brash idealistic americans known as the lafayette escadrille . these brave young men volunteered their services , and often their lives , to fight alongside the french , as novice pilots in wwi . reinventing 1917 france was not an easy endeavor , especially on a shoestring budget . it called for innovative and dedicated movie enthusiasts , like director tony bill and writers phil sears , blake t . evans , and david s . ward , who filmed the movie on the 300 , 000–acre stanford training area in britain , with a cast of virtually unknowns .
jet li has come to personify a specific film subgenre : the historical martial arts epic .
hero
and the
once upon a time in china
movies were marked by sweeping visuals and li’s remarkable athleticism . but the star says he’s no longer making that type of picture ; if that’s the case , critics say
fearless
makes for one heck of a swan song . the film tells the tale of a great martial arts master who looks inward after succumbing to his own ego and the murder of his family . the scribes say
fearless
is quite a show , with remarkable action sequences and an interesting philosophical undercurrent .
fearless
is currently at 70 percent on the tomatometer . and it’s li’s third consecutive fresh american release , following
unleashed
( 68 percent ) and
hero
( 94 percent ) .
flyboys was made early in james franco’s career , and he was not ready to play the lead . nor is he believable as a bad boy . however , the writers did their best to give rawlins as many opportunities to be heroic as possible . learning that the germans have penetrated french territory , rawlings makes a nighttime flight to evacuate lucienne , who had chosen to be rescued by the hero , instead of simply leaving with the rest of the refugees . the escape from the germans who have taken over her house is probably supposed to be thrilling , but it is merely blah .
our third film will be in love and war ( pg - 13 , 115 min ) – the epic love story about ernest hemingway and the romance which inspired him to write his masterpiece a farewell to arms . a story of desperate love and imminent danger , it chronicles the relationship between the 18 - year old hemingway and agnes von kurowsky , the medical aide who nursed him back to health after a devastating battlefield injury .
