Anyone seen this? It's not bad, it has the prerequisite
explosions, but a tiny bit more of a story than the average blast-em flick.
FX by Digital Domain are top notch, and I've always been a sucker for airial fighter stuff.

After renting Doom and Aeon Flux, this was refreshing.

** 1/2* (add half a star if you own Firefox or Broken Arrow)

Never thought of it that way...good description, though.
I thought it was pretty good myself. I am also a sucker for a good, fast, fighter-plane movie. This fit the bill quite nicely.

I noticed a bit of HAL in the plane's "personality"...you?

Definitly. Even the scene where they're talking on the other side of that hanging sheet so that EDI can read their lips reminded me of 2001 (but they seemed audible enough...maybe it was intended just as an homage and not a rip off...)

I'm just waiting for the day when we do have planes like that. *sigh* One of these days!

Seriously, I thought the FX were Serenity quality; Digital Domain seems to have learned a lot from Zoic. Got a real sense of weight and substance from those Talons.

Finally accepting CGI Chrisisall

Yes, I was duly impressed as well. Did you happen to watch any of the DVD extras? I think they had a segment on mating the CGI to the "real" shots...quite impressive.

No, just saw it last night, I will check it out; I think CGI has finally made it to where it is no longer 'that pixley crap' I saw in Babylon 5 and Star Trek TNG (No offence to the actual shows...).

Chrisisall, who still misses models and mattes

Do check it out...you should like it.
I agree that CGI is coming a long way...but yes, I also miss the models...
