TehPW Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNvAYGwQBro Someone on the AS Group on FB posted the trailer. LOL this looks good. All the flight deck personal have cranials and look like Hyster 6k Forklifts (and i about died laughing when i saw the prop plane getting hooked to the launch craddle with a ALBAR instead of a tentioner). C9CG16 GPCX of course unless you were in the Navy (as Airdales at least) all that means gibberious, LOL... thoughts on this movie, people? Edited June 5, 2013 by azrael Quote
Knight26 Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 Interesting, will wait for DVD. And is it just me or do the fighter jets look like a cross between F-18s and MiG-29s or is it just me? Also I get what you're saying, worked on many a carrier, all but two I believe, when I worked for the Navy on the RAM launchers. Quote
Knight26 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 eh, really not interested now, a duster keeping pace with two jet fighters, fail Quote
Uxi Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I thought it was going to be direct to video? I'll be waiting for the Blu-ray combo for the kids Quote
areaseven Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 eh, really not interested now, a duster keeping pace with two jet fighters, fail That's like complaining about how a NASCAR stock car can outrun F1 and rally racers. Quote
raptormesh Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 eh, really not interested now, a duster keeping pace with two jet fighters, fail My thoughts exactly. I do realise expecting an iota of realise is silly but this is unwatchable. It's not NASCAR vs F1 here it's more like vespa vs f1 Quote
coronadlux Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Fun for kids, I would say. Video for me. yes, VHS. haha Quote
Dynaman Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 It has my attention, I can't believe people are complaining that a prop plane with giant eyeballs is just as fast as a couple jets with giant eyeballs... That said I will most likely wait till it is out on video. Quote
Max Jenius Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 /yawn I thought we were done with this franchise... damn. Quote
the white drew carey Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 eh, really not interested now, a duster keeping pace with two jet fighters, fail A world based on slightly anthropomorphized vehicles, and THAT is where your disbelief kicks in? Quote
mecha2241 Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 There's also the fact that the target audience is a lot younger than anyone on this site... Quote
taksraven Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 There's also the fact that the target audience is a lot younger than anyone on this site... I think that this is the biggest problem with some of these films. Much of Disney and Pixars success since the release of Toy Story has been that many of these films are "Family" entertainment as opposed to "Kids" films. To me, Cars was definitely a "kids" film and many parents don't want to be dragged into a cinema to sit through that sort of thing. "Family" entertainment means that both parents and kids can enjoy the films, but I think Disney is forgetting this and losing the plot.... Quote
Knight26 Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 SO its about air racing, ok I am slightly more interested now, I like that it looks like his buddy is a Velocity XL, love those planes. But that trailer looks like it showed pretty much the whole movie. Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 So looking at the last two trailers we have a Tex Avery inspired film featuring a crop dusting P-51, a lucha libre GeeBee, and somewhere in there an ENTIRE squadron of F4U corsairs! What's not to like? Quote
Vespaeda Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 VERY glad to see this is a feature film versus a direct-to-DVD, kids home viewing. Now, if they can preserve more of the "Toy Story"/"Monster's Inc."-class and balanced maturity/youthfulness...rather than the over-the-top kiddie "Cars2" So looking at the last two trailers we have a Tex Avery inspired film featuring a crop dusting P-51, a lucha libre GeeBee, and somewhere in there an ENTIRE squadron of F4U corsairs! What's not to like? Renegadeleader1, The main character/'Cropduster' is more likely based off a Cessna Agwagon, not a P-51 Mustang. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cessna_A188A_Agwagon_N9961G_Minden_NV_27.10.05R_edited-2.jpg Quote
Mommar Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Well, I hope this is good. Cars never interested me, even before it became apparent it was purely a kids movie, but at least I can enjoy the planes in this. Hopefully there's more to it. At the very least there could be some fun toys to buy for my Nephew. Edited June 5, 2013 by Mommar Quote
F-ZeroOne Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Neat - the "British" character is a de Havilland Comer Racer! Quote
areaseven Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) It looks like Planes is this year's worst animated film. Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 25% - "Planes has enough bright colors, goofy voices, and slick animation to distract some young viewers for 92 minutes -- and probably sell plenty of toys in the bargain -- but on nearly every other level, it's a Disney disappointment." Metacritic Score: 39 out of 100 Edited August 16, 2013 by areaseven Quote
Jefuemon Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 It looks like Planes has unseated Cars 2 as Pixar's worst film. Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 25% - "Planes has enough bright colors, goofy voices, and slick animation to distract some young viewers for 92 minutes -- and probably sell plenty of toys in the bargain -- but on nearly every other level, it's a Disney disappointment." Metacritic Score: 39 out of 100 "Planes" isn't a Pixar film, it's in-house Disney. Quote
anime52k8 Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 "Planes" isn't a Pixar film, it's in-house Disney. more specifically its a DisneyToon studio's picture, as aposed to Walt Disney Animation Studios (who are also not pixar and produce good animated films). It's a movie that was supposed to be direct-to-video from an animation studio that does almost exclusively direct-to-video productions, it's absolutely not surprising in the least that it's a terrible movie if your not 5. Quote
DarrinG Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Right - if you're not five. I have twin 5 year olds and a 3 year old. They loved it and was a fun time out for the family. If you do not fit this description I would skip it... Quote
Chronocidal Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 While the movie/plot/characters were mostly forgettable in the first one, I'll admit that picking out the various aircraft-related jokes and references was entertaining on its own for the first one.. had a good laugh watching it with my father (similarly into aircraft history). They're really pushing it further than it needs to go though.. the entire "vehicles as people" thing can only go so far before it gets really demented. Quote
Knight26 Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Well that confirms something our LT said at work the other day. They are using real locations for these movies, and they are already starting on Planes 3, which will be set at Edwards. Quote
Chronocidal Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Is it bad that I think I would actually enjoy a gritty war-era scenario like during Vietnam or something? I mean.. clearly, they wouldn't do that.. I was actually surprised at how relatively sad/violent Planes got with the WWII flashback section. Quote
