Product: Flyboys [Blu-ray] (2006)
Rating: 5.0
Outstanding in every way.
I bought this one looking for a good historical action drama with good effects. Flyboys far exceeded my expectations. I am familiar with the Lafayette Esquadrille from history class and old movies. The movie stayed pretty close to the truth.The characters were solid, well developed and believable. The sets and settings were on the money. Unique historical details (like use of landing gear in combat) were accurate (with two big intentional exceptations). The arial dog fights were fantastic.Special effects were on par if not better than those in 'Pearl Harbor'. Motion Capture of actual arial stunts made a huge difference.Extra features were some of the best I've seen.
