3.0 out of 5 stars good but cheap Oct 26 2009
By Dr. Kai Wang
Format:DVD
A very good film which in addition to depicting the exploits of Czech pilots fighting for the RAF during the Battle of Britain, also tells their post war story, a fact less well known in the west. I find this part of the film very moving.

The acting and the love stories are all convincing.

Unfortunately, the movie makers use footages from other films such as "Battle of Britain" and "Memphis Belle", which "rob" of its originality. For those of us who are familiar with these other films, this is like "cheating" !!! and given the otherwise quite spectacular and original aerial shots of the flying sequences, I just feel dissatisfied at the end.

And one more thing, during the Battle of Britain, no Sptifires were equipped with 4 blade propellers and cannons, these were much later versions of the plane, I guess they couldn't come up with enough number of the Spitfire Mark 1 so they needed to borrow some Mark 9's, the same applies to the Eagle squadron in the "Pearl Harbor" movie with Ben Affleck.

It's too bad.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great film July 2 2004
By K. OConnor
Format:DVD
If this film has nothing else, it has possibly the most realistic flight sequences I have seen...beautiful camera work.

The storyline could be considered a bit predictable but somehow, the ending managed to slip by my 'Got this one figured out' radar (don't know how that happened really...must have gotten distracted by the subtitles)

Overall, It makes my top 5 WWII movie list

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark Blue Masterpiece Jan 18 2004
By D. Braun
Format:DVD
Years ago I collected and read many of the "Bantam War Book" Series. Each was a non-fictional first-hand personal story about "A World On Fire" - World War II.

I was especially fascinated by the RAF pilots and their incredible Battle of Britain stories. They were extraordinary men, like Douglas Bader, Stanford Tuck, and Pierre Clostermann - the brave Frenchman who, like the heroes in "Dark Blue World," fled his occupied homeland to fight for the RAF.

This movie is an undiscovered gem - resurrecting, again, the emotions of authenticity those books once evoked. While many films are ABOUT other times, this one seems like an actual peak into the past.

My son 12 y/o watched this about 6 times before he forced me into watching it with him. I wasn't keen on a subtitled movie but I know family time is important. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Would've been a monster hit if it weren't a "foreign movie"
How do movies as impeccable as this miss the radar of critics and pop studios? Are people so averse to subtitles? Read more

While not a great movie, I would call this Czech entry very good and unique. The dogfight scenes are quite good, and for a change our heros don't shot down the whole Luftwaffle;... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars It works.
This movie is not a great war film, and it is not a great love story. It is oversentimental and ridden with cliches...but it works. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars From the director who brought us "Kolya"
As described in its DVD case, this movie is in the tradition of "Pearl Harbour". In my view, this is an arty version of "Pearl Harbour". Read more
