Crappy film

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I simply cannot understand how the makers of the movie can feel good about it -showing almost all the airplane (and airplane related) shots in their trailers alone, and then having 40 minutes of generic tourism destination shots in the rest of the film.I really was looking forward to watching it for so long, and it was a complete disappointment..

First you must go into this documentary with the idea that you are not going to learn about airplanes. This is not a "how airplanes work" film. This film is more about how airplanes have affected humanity. It's a wonderful look at how humans have progressed from simply walking everywhere at 5MPH to flying at 500MPH.It's obvious from the start that great care has been taken to make this film a feast for the eyes and ears. There is no story arc. It's a simple five chapter retrospective about the history of travel and aviation. You simply need to sit back and enjoy the absolutely stunning cinematography, Harrison Ford's wonderful narration, and James Horner's awesome score. That's it! Simple as that. Nothing complicated.If you don't have access to an IMAX theater, the Blu-Ray looks fantastic! Very sharp and clear image. If you have a home theater with big screen and surround sound, you will love it! Worth every penny. The online streaming versions also look pretty good if you don't have a Blu-Ray player.Regarding James Horner's score. I have been a fan of James Horner since the early 80's. This score is one of his last and one of my favorites. It's basically a great collection of his style through the years. It's so sad he's gone now but I'm thankful he left us with such a moving piece of work that brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.Living in the Age of Airplanes, in my humble opinion, is a must see for the simple fact that it's interesting and at the same time a work of art in filmmaking.

Where are the airplanes? I get that airplanes have an impact on flower delivery - but this movie really should have more about the actual Airplane.Especially considering this went to IMAX.....big waste by the producers...You could have made such a better movie that would have appealed to a wider audience - but you've narrowed yourself down to the K- 5 audience. Shame.When you promote a movie as much as this one - and you promote to the Aeronautical community - at least provide some footage that would make them happy - Total fail by the producers.....Please try again - and make it more suited for Plane Fans.

This was quite a deception. I expected a documentary about airplanes, why they're magical, and some technology and technical stuff. You'll get none of this. What you get is some contemplative aerial views of why travellng around the world is great. It surely is great, even though showing the Trevi fountain surrounded by tourists is not the best way to depict it.Some good points though. The first part does a fantastic job of reminding us how lucky we are to live in the early days of fast travel and how much the entire world has changed in the blink of an eye. Harrison Ford does a great job at narrating all of this.Airplanes lovers will be left out in the cold.
