Format:Blu-ray
Flyboys is the fascinating, true portrayal of American pilots who entered WWI early to fly for the French. This well-done film looks great on blu-ray thanks mainly to the period aircraft sequences, which seamlessly combines footage of antiques, miniatures, and CGI. Additionally, there are a number of great bonus features including, audio commentary, pop-up guide track, and some wonderful featurettes, the best being a comparative retrospective to the real squadron. There are also deleted scenes which would have made for a better film had they been included, but for the running time which already exceeds 2hrs 15min. Unfortunately, all the additional material results in compressed audio (where the dialogue is soft and sound effects loud), so those without a full home theater system will want to use the volume control at times. Still, the film is highly recommended and noteworthy for its exceptional aerial sequences.
(The only distraction (which is disturbingly clear and constant on blu-ray) is James Franco's hair design (dark brown with highlights on top). If you can accept or ignore the seemingly unnatural colouring for 1917, then you'll better enjoy this film.)

I seriously love the way they made this movie,just sticking to the time period of these brave men
who just wanted to go fight for a country who they knew nothing of, even though their country was not there
as yet in the war,the thing i love about it their was no picking on each other and fighting amongst them-self just
plain killing the enemy,this blu-ray is really good i had no problem with the sound being too low,what a great movie
to have in your collection,some-times i think people get-off on watching other people suffer at the hands of Bullies??.

Good acting and special effects scenes and a romance thrown in for good measure. It's the kind of movie you can watch
over and over and still enjoy it.

Clean Family War Movie
Enjoyed the movie, though the tinted hair of the main character is totally from a different era. Gives you an idea of how treacherous it was for WWI pilots.
