Product: Flyboys [Blu-ray] (2006)
Rating: 3.0
3 stars for the visuals, 1 star for the storyline
This may be the only film made in the past twenty years that deals with World War I aerial combat. It's not an easy thing to do since most of those planes are gone now. Enter CGI and some devoted souls tracking down remaining combat planes from the era. The graphics sometimes leave something to be desired, but overall the effect is majestic and exciting.The storyline is all but nonexistent.James Franco seems destined to be an also-ran, which is a shame since he's a fine actor. He just doesn't get to shine that often in his projects.Get this film for the visuals, but don't get too excited about the plot...
