Un-f#2king-real...

The black and white footage is almost as impressive, the image stabilization with removed scratches looks exceptionally clean.

 

I just wish the color was a bit more saturated, as of now it looks like hand colored photos of that era rather than something like autochrome, but thats just a nerdy quibble on my part.

Saw this last week as well. Highly impressed.

I talked about it when i saw squadron 303 movie, ending had like 2min long colored, HD footage from Battle of Britain and it was AWESOME! And i wanted to see full movie like this and here we go... they should do more projects like this. I am pissed tho.. such a great thing and one night only? I tried to find some info if they will play it like normal movie but i did not. So i don't even know if this will be played in other countries. Really lame.

 

Anyone knows if this will be played in normal cinemas around the world?

I've seen this subject passing a couple of times already.

I found at least two of them.

Looks highly interesting.

Pitty though it will only be shown in cinemas and schools across the UK and somewhere in November on BBC1.

But it would not surprise me it will be for sale on DVD when the market is asking for it.

 

Some more footage including montaged sound etc.
