Saw it tonight at the AOPA Fly-In at Salinas


Very beautiful photography, and some interesting concepts about how the short span of time in human history where we literally have gone from walking (3 MPH) -- which has been something like 99.999 percent of human history, to maybe 5000 years of the wheel using animal drawn carts (a bit more than 3 MPH) to the past 100 years (insignificant in the big scheme of things) flying around in 747s and the like.

There were points in the film where it seemed more like a beautifully photographed National Geographic travelogue than a movie about airplanes, and sometimes it veered into "airline commercial" territory, but it was a very interesting and satisfying 47-minute movie.
