Masters of the Air (2024)
Sadly Doesn't Hold Up to it's Predecessors
I really wanted to like this show being a fan of the producers previous WWII series but from the start found the writing and acting to be totally uninspired. The production values are excellent as are the visual effects creating the air battle sequences but the quality of the script and the lackluster casting makes you unable to care about the fate of these refugees from a male modeling agency. All the characters seem interchangeable and none of them really stand out as the usual varied personality types one finds in a group of men drawn from across the nation or in any other war movie. They are all bland and of the same age and body type.
I realize that that those in the production crew now are of another generation and that the WWII vets that could have been consultants on this project are now mostly gone but, period details are wrong or lacking. The show opens, it's WWII in a bar and everyone isn't smoking. Even a boomer consultant from the Vietnam era could have told them a smoky bar is mandatory for the period, but I guess we are getting 21st century anti-smoking feelings overlaid on historical fact and that's BS. Next, I'm expecting a black woman general to show up to show strength and determination. That's just one example. I'll watch for the action but I'm finding the human aspect uninvolving and contrived to say the least. A sad failure.

There Is No Excuse
There is no excuse for the utter lack of creativity shown here. What a waste of time, money and talent. Write and produce original material. Hopefully they will lose money on this.

Total Piece Of Crap
Everything wrong with modern action filmmaking is on display in the 2 1/2 hours of wasted time, money and talent. Really what were they thinking? Another disjointed special effects reels passed off as a movie with no coherent story or meaning. Could say more but why bother. Can't believe I saw it through to the end. Complete waste of all involved.
