All right, but it wouldn't hurt to show some realistic action. This is what bothers me about some "aviation" movies, including "Top Gun". If you are lucky enough to use real planes, why don't you show some realistic actions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case of Top Gun, what would the movie goer see? F-14 firing Phoenix Missiles against "MiG28s" and those exploding in 40 miles distance. /Movie. Yay. Movies are entertainment compressed into 2 hrs. You cannot portray realism. Realism is rather boring. In Fact, many veterans say the same about war. Rather dull and boring. With few seconds of sheer terror sprinkled in between. It´s like Rambo4. If youve seen the trailer, youve seen the whole movie.. https://sr-f.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunfreak Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 TOP GUN aren't war movies, they are action movies, 80s style action movies, they are Die Hard but with planes. Red Tails is just Star Wars with a ww2 theme. I would love a more realistic portrayal of ww2 aerial combat. I wonder if they'll be some good fighter on fighter action in the Hanks/Spielberg produced bomber TV show (if anyone gets to watch it,since it's on apple tv) I'd also like a well made remake/new movie about battle of britain. 1 i7 13700k @5.2ghz, GTX 3090, 64Gig ram 4800mhz DDR5, M2 drive.

Not that I care that much. Scott seems to have lost his mojo. So I don't think his Napoleon film will be test great and I would assume the same would go for any Bob film he makes.(will probably look good tho) i7 13700k @5.2ghz, GTX 3090, 64Gig ram 4800mhz DDR5, M2 drive.
