Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

Flyboys

What you didn't read clearly was the beginning credits showed, "based on 'THE TRUE STORY'". What the? It wasn't based on A true story, but rather "The true story". Bogus!
Well, it was okay, with some typical sound crappiness.

whisper, whisper, whisper ... BOOM, CRASH, BLAM!!! [sound of needle hitting the floor] then sound of NASA shuttle taking off is the music.

Uh, could you go ahead and re-edit the sound please? I switched to subtitles. It was just all kind of loud, except for the voices. The end was a bit cheesy with, "here they come to save the day!" (Mighty Mouse theme).

I could nitpick it, but will finalize it was, C+ for story, B for story flow, C for acting, F for sound, 0.00 for re-watchability. The fight scenes were OK, but lacked some --- thing. I don't believe that Zeppelins traveled at the same rate of speed as fighters, so ... I could mention that.

It was okay. While some of the schtick was unworthy, and "I am averting my eyes". Oh, stop it! Get on with it!

Oh, right. Anyway, the end is lackluster. The movie as a whole was okay, but lacked the general basis of Genesis and the whole wiping the slate clean theme. I would rank it as pretty good.

I like Steve Carroll and was surprised this time with a cameo by Jon Stewart (very small -- as seen in a room on TV).

-- oh, and Noah the White (Gandalf)

Welcome to China

Earthquake kills many and the Olympics are there. Burma's government is killing Tibetans and China nods. Do you want to read online about the earthquake? You aren't likely to get as much online with the lovely Com-oogle (Communist Google).
