First Flight

About This Movie

First Flight is an intriguing dive into the early days of aviation in Siam, set against the backdrop of World War I. The film captures the raw ambition and tumult of a nation chasing modernity, but it's not just about planes and pilots. There's a palpable tension as the characters grapple with their training setbacks and personal doubts. The pacing has this almost documentary-like feel, immersing you in the struggles of these early aviators. The practical effects are decent for the time and really lend an air of authenticity. I find the performances quite compelling, especially how they convey the camaraderie and pressure of preparing for war. It’s certainly a unique piece in the war drama genre.
