DBFlyguy Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 This 3rd part of the "Band of Brothers" series has been in development FOREVER it seems like.... 😑But today a couple very small clips were released in the "coming soon" sizzle reel from Apple TV+, I'm hoping this one is great like "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific" were but I'm currently skeptical ...we'll see though.. whenever it actually releases... There's also a couple more "micro-clips" in an sizzle reel from earlier this year: 1 Quote "Straighten up and fly right" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trooper117 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Unlike the other 'Band of Brothers' series, this is not about the ground war, which was extremely realistic. The air war is a completely different thing to portray and make the aircraft and the action look real. I'm not holding my breath on this, as most computer graphics depicting planes and combat do not always come up to the mark... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golani79 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I am so looking forward to this show! Have been waiting forever and also read the book which is a very good read. Regarding the quality of the show - let's hope they didn't cut the budget for the VFX and CG departments and that HBO will deliver! In the meantime I'll rewatch BoB and The Pacific for the who knows how many time 😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MustangMike Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Good ole Apple TV... gonna be sailing the high seas for this one for sure. Only thing I watched from them was their Foundation TV adaptation, it was certainly a very pretty looking production but otherwise was complete trash. Sounds about on par for most other Apple products. I'm remaining cautiously optimistic for this though. Quote Working signatures? What a novel concept!

DBFlyguy Posted June 12, 2023 Author Share Posted June 12, 2023 I'm looking forward to checking it out... but all this delay plus the massive use of obvious CGI is making me question the actual quality of the show... "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific" set a pretty high bar... we'll see whenever it eventually drops. There are some very good shows on Apple TV+ though.

Trooper117 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Getting CGI looking real in any air combat film I've watched has been a bit of a let down... for me it never makes me think that was superb. It will be interesting to see how they try to pull it off with this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The production quality of BoB and The Pacific was pretty high - lets hope they kept their high standards and didn´t cut things on the CGI part of production.

DBFlyguy Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 Both "Top Gun: Maverick" and "Devotion" set the bar for aerial sequences that perfectly blend real aircraft with CGI/visual effects, the standard is set. Both of those movies had extremely passionate aviation people behind them making the decisions and it shows. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that "Masters of the Air" doesn't disappoint in the aerials sequences. I do have other concerns about some of the narrative/story/a-historical choices I know are coming 🤨 but I'll wait until I see a full trailer before deciding ....

I really enjoyed Devotion, didn't think I would, but I did. Having said that, I still could instantly see when the CGI scenes cut in, it was plainly CGI, not the real thing. Maybe it's me setting the bar too high, but I expect to be wowed to the extent that I can't tell the difference between the two... that's when I will give a film the big thumbs up for it's depiction of air combat CGI. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelthos Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 CGI has come a long way, but I have yet to see a movie where it is not instantly apparent that the sequences use CGI. Not sure I would call it seamless, but I think it will eventually get there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4th season starts next month, it'll be interesting to see where they take it this season. In other Apple TV+ news, this looks great: I'm patiently waiting for the first "Masters of the Air" teaser trailer... it shouldn't be too much longer since the dates been announced... 1 Quote "Straighten up and fly right" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
