Review
Wings was absolutely the most awful movie I've watched in a long time. I can't believe it is even commercially available. We left half way because it was just so bad. Some girls sitting behind us got so bored they started playing with their dolls and chatting loudly soon after the movie started.
The characters in the movie are inappropriate for children calling a plane a nickname like "Kamikaze" because he is a little clumsy an other disrespectful remarks are typical of the lines of characters completely lacking any personality. No American script writer would come up with lines that are constantly insulting to all the characters all the time. None of it was funny. It makes me think perhaps the script was written in another language and then they had to translate it into English to try to make it intelligible.
Here is Google Translate's version of a review I found in German as they showed it movie theaters in Germany
Jets Heroes of the Skies Movie review We had a week ago issued a warning to all parents because all the evidence as to imply Jets heroes of Flight ( Ot Vinta ) not only could be a mixed film experience but moreover a cheap attempt two months before Disney's plan comes to German cinemas to draw unsuspecting families across the table. Now we have the film that will be released in German cinemas this Thursday looked at in all its glory and have to admit our mistake The movie is not as bad as expected it is even worse ! First of all What do we really expect from a childoriented animated film Of course the ideas vary depending on personal taste and age of children but I guess we can agree on a basic definition the Pixar chief John Lasseter once like this put it "To make a really entertaining movie that people will not soon be forgotten you need an exceptional good story full of emotion and humor and amiable truthful characters who live in a believable world . The audience wants to see things that have never seen it before . " With this picture of a successful film in mind we now look at jets. We let the fact outside before that it was at Jets Heroes of the Skies is a free rider in the slipstream of a Disney film and consider only the film itself to at least give him the chance to surprise . Finally on a film about talking vehicles and planes with googly eyes even far away from Disney basically nothing wrong except he is so poorly implemented like this Jets and the studio responsible Touch FX animation from Armenia lacks any narrative and pedagogical knowledge . The viewer is confronted with scenes already in the prologue whose production is not to follow their meaning and can be interpreted only later from the context . With each passing minute the weaknesses of the film are evident. The characters talk incessantly but without really saying anything free of relevance or motivation. The golden rule of filmmaking that showed things and should not be explained is consistently ignored or simply unknown. The humor is limited to an even more embarrassing embarrassing slapstick animated bird. This reflects in particular the artistic limitations of the makers ( or the IMMENSE time pressure they were exposed ) because between genuine organic character animation and and while moving of aircraft with eyes in the X Y for example a Merida could be alive Z are worlds apart. The jets do not fly they move as if they were drawn on invisible rails through the air. Even the animations of the Rusty Knight film acting in direct comparison just too vivid and soft. The entire film feels like a work of freshmen that the importance of a screenplay let alone a storyboard have never heard of. They pounced rather just on computer animation programs whose manuals although they know by heart but do not use in creative ways. Character development drama dramatic resolution or quite simple factors such as fun and feeling are foreign words for this film. An identification with the characters does not take place is to abstract the Aneinandereihung of scenes and dialogs but everything was pretty textured and lit regardless of the consequences. Cheap Mockbuster like jets are produced each year in droves . My sole purpose is to earn money and swim along in the wake of major Hollywood productions. Typically they rely on the naïveté of consumers who in good faith to have the real movie right to access . But never was a rental so bold and brought such a cheaply made film directly into the cinema with the clear objective to mislead families ( other movies you should be known then it writes in the comments) . Latest after sighting of jets every mother every father grandmother aunt sister will be aware of how much they were deceived by this movie while the kids sit in the cinema and do not understand why the new " Disney movie" was so stupid . A very bitter pill of Splendid Film Distribution set before the German families. However it should remain apparently not an isolated case the " Splendid animation " logo in the German trailer suggests that the rent
