I saw this in Vegas, a very fuzzy print, not as good as the HDTVs being demonstrated down the road at the CES.
While I recognise the considerable effort they have made in researching the scenes (exact dialogue in the Senate hearings for instance) I find the computer generated aircraft profoundly unrealistic.
To my mind, the racer scenes are as artificial as the aircraft in 'Pearl Harbor' or indeed aircraft in any of these CGI films. I think that the aircraft move unconvincingly and look poor in close up. Do others agree, or is it just me?
They were also able to control their thirst for realism. They had the flying boat soaring overhead at 1500' or so ... if only.
Looks like we are stuck with this make believe CGI world from now on, no more flying replicas like the ill fated 'Phoenix'. Heaven forbid what they will do with the remake of 'Magnificent Men'
