there be five combat sequence that make this flick worth your ticket maybe 20 minute worth see in the entire film . the cgi be excellent and especially the gotha bomber . wow . and the zeppelin ain not bad . have say that represent it riddle with factual and historical error and all of which be avoidable have the writer or director care to pay attention . ( it probably would have cost nothing to do it right . ) a short list would include represent nonexistent aircraft in 1916 such a the fokker triplanes ( all of them red except the black one . ) and sopwith camel and se 5 and and bristol fighter . the concept of train pilot to fly in a combat squadron be of course absurd but the director apparently think it necessary a a plot device . french airman learn to fly in a british airplane ( sopwith strutter ) be equally absurd . for the real hair splitter and the gotha and some triplanes have the straight edge balkan cross that appear two year later . other fingernail on the blackboard include 9mm spandau machine gun ( they be 7 . 92 mauser ) and canvas cover on the wing when cotton or linen be use because canvas be much too heavy . but beyond that and the script take a pedestrian approach to what could have be a more evocative and even inspire and film . there be no standout performance and and the syrupy and chaste romance go nowhere . the only reason for include it probably be to draw in more of an audience a a date flick ( not quite a chick flick . ) for those of u who truly enjoy aviation film and this one prove a major disappointment but hey and within limit and almost any ww i fly flick be good than no ww i fly flick .
