Do you think it's worth it to go to the IMAX version of this? I've been meaning to

What a fantastic film! The aerial sequences were incredible. Where'd they get all those WW II airplanes? They couldn't even be bothered to get real BF109s with Daimler engines, which are available in the US and in Europe. No cookie for them. |

I really liked it. Very different from the usual war action film.
Getting used to the different timelines took a little bit. |

Fantastic film, seen it twice in IMAX, before this film I hadn't been to the movies in ten years.
Some guys in here are all poo-poo about it because the wrong engine matches the wrong socks or some crap. Anyone that misses it in IMAX will be sorry. |

Well, in fairness, last time I checked, there were three airworthy ones left. If I had one, I wouldn't let them use it. I'd rather have an FW190D-9, though. Quote HistoryQuoted:

The reason there are so many Casa's left flying today is from the movie Battle of Britain. The Casa's were actually supposed to be powered by Daimler Benz DB series, but a fire in the warehouse destroyed them all, so they were reengineered to use Merlins. |

Some of the rifles used in some of the scenes didn't have the period correct slings so I won't be going to see it.

I saw it at a Dolby Cinema theater (apparently IMAX is Harkins and Dolby Cinema is AMC) and it was great. I'll probably go see it at an IMAX before it leaves theaters.

When you see it, pay attention. The time lines are kind of like Pulp Fiction, but you are seeing the same events from different points of view.

Didn't you notice how the flight of 3 planes always banked perfectly together? They could have used some of the many surviving spitfires but they cheaped out and it showed. They also completely sanitized the movie of all bloodshed. It sucked. |

Saw it and wasn't all that impressed.
The aerial scenes were a bit CGI-ish and- although the last aerial gunnery was cool- the ending was stupid in my opinion. |

Good movie overall but missed an opportunity to be great. I was expecting a little more. As much as it was hyped it ended up being a letdown in some ways. The air battles were good but could have been even better. I'd like to see it again though.

The Bf-109s at Dunkirk were Es.The first round nosed Fs came into service in the fall,months after Dunkirk so using the Buchons rebuilt to F and G spec would also be improper. Getting not just the use of but insurance for either of the flying Emils was probably prohibitive. An underwriter would have to look at it and go "oh,you are simulating dogfighting? If they collide how easy will it be to replace them?" and that would be that. |

It was really awesome. One of the things that impressed me most only became evident to me after viewing it and realizing a few days later that it was only rated PG-13. At no time did it ever seem like a tame or toned down version of war.

The visuals were good, but like War Horse, it was a movie sprung from the sensibilities of pajama-boy males.
I'd say anybody who liked the movie needs to pay more careful attention to the logical subtexts that are being delivered |

I think you have that engine part confused with the czech S-199. They had their engine storage destroyed in a fire so they switched to Jumo 211 engines and thus created a really, really horrible airplane. Quote HistoryQuoted:
