too much stock footage


I don't mind some inserts of stock footage in movies
but this movie, nearly all the battle scenes has the actors reacting to stock footage
budget constraints the obvious reason

Yes, it was very obvious.

Still, better than toy-like models or CGI.

Better than toy - like models, but I don't mind CGI used in the right situation. Mind you nothing much was happening on that front in 1951.🐭

Really? They didn't have CGI in 1951?

CGI has its uses, but it often looks like a cartoonish video game. I'd rather see stock footage or good models.
