Default Has anyone seen this IMAX movie?

I was disappointed. Of course, I went in thinking it was a documentary, so
I was looking for better attention to details.

Things like the fake AWACS displays. The napalm exploding *under* the
targeted vehicles (let's just say that when a bomb hits something, more
pieces fly up than fire).

My favorite part was the cockpit shot showing the pilot valiantly whipping
the stick all over the place in a frenzied attack to recover, yet the
attitude indicator was rock solid straight and level.


I'm waiting for someone to pick up on how the entire theme was to watch a
F-15C pilot go through the program. Yet the entire footage is shot of F-15E
jets.
