I really want to see it. Kind of put off by WWII aerial CGI since seeing Pearl Harbor (ghastly film - no Tora Tora Tora for sure), but don't know what any practical alternative would be. I thought Memphis Belle was good. I wish Spielberg had made Red Tails instead of Lucas (my favorite Star Wars was the 'first' one - the one without CGI). It would still have had Lucas Film CGI though. At least probably. Also, I hope it's not a 'politically correct' comic book version of the Tuskeegee Airmen's real story. There's honor & drama enough in that. But Red Tail P-51s blasting ME-262s to smithereens does look pretty great in the trailer. Hell I'll go see it just for that. Didn't really like Fly Boys at all (old enough to have seen Blue Max in the theatre). But it at least had a caricature of 1st African American combat aviator ever - Eugene Bullard. His life story is just incredible and would make one hell of a movie.

Try this:
This trailer does look good but the trailer for the Phantom Menace also looked good (then again, back then we didn't know how atrocious and offensive Jar Jar Binks will be):
It's a paper thin story, relying on childish emotions to bolster a deeply slanted bias toward the American Exceptionalist worldview. But the CGI looks okay, I suppose.

Yes, in fact George Lucas said it was a propaganda film. He said that. Those are his words. Lawls.
