Short Review

Probably one of the best looking flight films of all time, truly a marvel at how this was filmed for the time. It's mostly a documentary though on all the logistics that goes into the training and testing of this world rather than a good story of any kind which makes it a bit dull from a story perspective. I feel like Christopher Nolan used this to prep for DUNKIRK.
