cutiger83 Posted August 14, 2013 Share #2 Posted August 14, 2013 I could not go this past weekend when it opened. I am definitely going this weekend! ....Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted August 14, 2013 Maybe you could add a review in the movie section after you've seen it Kat? It opens here a little later in the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutiger83 Posted August 14, 2013 Share #4 Posted August 14, 2013 I love that the old timer plane is a Corsair. That is one of my two favorite planes! I will definitely let you know if it is a good movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobgee Posted August 14, 2013 Share #5 Posted August 14, 2013 Saw it today with my Flight Attendant daughter and 2 grandsons. 14 & 12. We all enjoyed it. It's all-age animated movie for anyone who likes AeroPlanes! Bobgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted August 14, 2013 With a soundtrack featuring the ELO and the one and only John Cleese voicing the British plane (a Comet?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 14, 2013 Share #8 Posted August 14, 2013 We saw the movie as a family on Saturday in 3D. I thought it was really great. Not the most edge-of-the-seat movie I've ever seen (in fact, my wife thought the first half was rather "slow") but it was entertaining and the kids really liked it. I'd recommend seeing it, especially if you have young kids or grandkids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share #9 Posted August 14, 2013 These CGI movies like "Toy Story" and "Cars" etc., are popular with kids because of the lovable characters and the colourful action scenes etc...but in reality they are more adult-orientated because the humour is very sharp and beyond most kids. ( Note to Mods: I posted it in this forum because of the "military" planes in the movie, but maybe it would be better if it was moved to the movies forum?)

Cobrahistorian Posted August 15, 2013 Share #10 Posted August 15, 2013 I saw it Saturday with my boys. They loved it! Nearly identical story to Cars, but it was a fun movie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38Driver Posted August 15, 2013 Share #11 Posted August 15, 2013 Saw it last Saturday with my 4 year old plane loving son. They did a nice job sneaking in enough historical references for the plane loving dad while keeping the little guy very entertained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmerc20 Posted August 18, 2013 Share #14 Posted August 18, 2013 I liked the Corsair from the famous "Jolly Ranchers". I thought that was rather amusing but assume 99% of the people taking their kids to the movie didnt pick up on, or know what they were referring to.

PvtTamura Posted August 19, 2013 Share #15 Posted August 19, 2013 At the Chino Air Museum, out here in Chino, CA, there was a promo event for planes before opening weekend. A highlight of the event was the Air Museum's Corsair, which was flown over the museum. Supposedly it was "the" Corsair used as reference for the film.

cutiger83 Posted August 19, 2013 Share #16 Posted August 19, 2013 I saw the movie this weekend. While the kids and I did like it, I don't think it was worth the price of the movie ticket. When it costs more to go see a movie than it would be to buy it on DVD, it better be worth the big screen. I think the kids would have liked it just as much if we had waited to see it on DVD. Maybe I am just cheap but the price of a movie ticket these days is not worth the big screen. ....Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share #17 Posted August 19, 2013 Awww Kat...you've dampened my expectations now! I loved both the "Cars" movies and assumed this one would be right up there with them. Never mind...I'm still going to go when it opens here next week!

I did really like the movie. I loved seeing all of the planes. This one is right up there with the other "Cars" movies. I even thought about you when they showed the British plane. It just amazes me at the price of a movie these days. ....Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prices were the same as the US...just that the numbers stood for POUNDS instead of DOLLARS! And at $1.56 to the Pound, going to the movies in the UK is a seriously expensive hobby.

I know what you mean about movie ticket prices, and what Dave said above is right. If we go to the Imax to see a 3D movie it costs and arm and a leg these days! As for in-house popcorn, Ben & Jerry's and assorted candies etc., forget it! The mark-ups are ridiculous! I buy them beforehand in the local mini-market and smuggle 'em in!
