Product: Flyboys [Blu-ray] (2006)
Rating: 2.0
Poor
This is a movie I'm glad I didn't see in the theater. For one reason, the money. The other, the special effects wouldn't have looked any better on the big screen (and that is a pretty harsh thing to say).Flyboys...I don't even know how to adequately describe this movie. What was the director going for because I can't see any discernible direction to the film. It isn't historically accurate at all, it isn't much fun to watch, there is little to no story and the scripting is awful, no tension or resolution, nothing that makes you care one way or another who lives or dies, and for being set during one of the bloodiest wars in history it is strikingly devoid of actually feeling like a war is even in progress save for the Germans who arrive right when they are supposed to and are out of the picture for the rest of the time.This is one of those movies that I didn't even make it through in the first sitting. I give it a bonus star because it is a WWI airwar movie in modern times, so kinda stands out for that.
