- Masters of the Air | (2024) AppleTV Plus Series Review. This is my review for the new Apple TV Plus series, Masters of the Air starring Anthony Boyle, Callum Turner, and Austin Butler and produced by Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and John Orloff.
During WWII, five miles above the ground and behind enemy lines, ten men inside a bomber known as a "Flying Fortress" battle unrelenting flocks of German fighters.

The cgi was bad. unrealistic. It's like a game. We waited 10yrs for this! Don't sugar coat bro it was bad cgi.
I wasn’t sugar coating, genuinely thought it looked great
The indoor scenes look good (aside from the acting), but the outdoor CGI is awful. Actors in senior roles are unbelievable, too young / baby faced, back then a 30year old guy was half way through his life.
Couldn't agree more. Terrible CGI. Practical effects would have helped the CGI along. It was bad.
cgi was awful and not realistic
Oh come on...it wasn't that bad!
I tried to get through the first two episodes released. Man, it was a struggle! It was a show that I was really looking forward to, yes I will finish this show, but it will be a struggle. I loved Band of Brothers and The Pacific. Yes, many didn't like The Pacific but I was in the Marines and I know a lot about those portrayed in that show.
I TOTALLY understand how you're feeling after the first 2 episodes.
Trust me though, the later half of the season really picks up.
The bomber crews had the highest loss rate for the US military. One would think it would be the Marines storming beaches in the Pacific but those bomber crews got shot up really bad. Every time a plane went down, 9 or 10 guys were killed or captured. When you're losing planes by the dozen during some of these missions before the long range escorts came along, those loss totals add up tragically quick. One of my Dad's uncles was a gunner on a B-17 in the 8th Air Force but aside from that, I don't know much. He didn't talk about it. Can't say I blame him.
Yeah...after watching this show I was amazed at what these crews did. Literally just looked like suicide missions every time they went out.
RAF Bomber Command had an even higher fatality rate, the second highest fatality rate of any military branch in WW2. Second only to German U-boat crews.
It was around 45% who got killed. Out of 125,000 RAF Bomber Command crews, 55,000 were killed. Twice as many as American bomber crews.
Rough start.
The acting and action are..
Yikes.
Just my opinion..
BOB. I felt like I was there with them..
this is like watching tv.
Disconnected.
My dad was in the Army Air Core over in Italy so I’m definitely all in on this, can’t wait.
Army Air Corps. God bless your pops.
Small beef with describing the air crew as merely pilots. Pilots were a part of the air crew but there were many different jobs on the B17, pilots were senior officers but were only a percentage of the crew.
My bad! Definitely an oversight. My favorite crew members in the show were actually the navigators.
I told my wife that it’s insane what those dudes could do and I never considered how hard it must have been to navigate before GPS. Truly awesome
A lot of people complained about the CGI in the trailer and the clips they released. It's a relief to hear that they might have polished the CGI before the final release.
Looked great to me!
@@TheorySmackYeah we'll see bud
still awful
Sadly the final CGI looks shit…
@@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.What is bad about it?
Gotta remember, all these were adapted from letters and memoirs - to even begin to string together a single sequence whether it be BOB The Pacific, or this, I believe these will be the best representations of the greatest generation we’ll ever get -
Don’t forget, these were real people. I’d wonder if half of us in the comments here have the salt of those boys. Things to think about -
My favorite episode is the one where they joke with each other before the planning brief, head off to battle, suffer loss, and then regroup and reflect at the end. That one is amazing. (Hoping you are right about episode 6)
Trust me...Episode 6 is quite the shake up in the show.
Really enjoyed it from that point forward.
When I watch band of brothers I waited for every episode me and my friends talk about it the whole week, it was so good now every one think is a movie critic
Looking forward to this one. I’m exited to see what Austin butler can do outside of his Elvis role!
Band of Brothers is probably my favourite limited TV series ever. The Pacific was a bit of a disappointing follow up. Glad to see this one upping the quality ante. Can't wait
Interested to hear your thoughts!
Also, FWIW, Band of Brothers is still on another level compared to this series, but, it's still good for sure.
The Tuskegee Redtails never escorted the 100th Heavy Bomber Group. I not only expect technical accuracy from this series but also historical. This is a sop to the friends of the late George Floyd and as such is to be deplored as it devalues the experience. In addition Thorpe Abbotts airfield was built by John Laing who employed Irish 'navvy' type labourers.
This is not to denigrate the Black P51 pilots but things are either right or wrong and are not there to be nuanced by the woke editors at Apple - it could have been worse it could have been under the control of.....Disney.
They're not suggesting that the Redtails ever escorted the 8th Airforce. Captured Tuskegee men would have gone to the same POW camp as captured 100th BG crew. That's where their stories will intertwine in this show. I think it's a neat way of making the show diverse without rewriting history.
Fomuliac first few episodes soumds good to me. If it's taking to the skies over Europe, that's what I signed up for!
Then you won’t be let down!
Trying to watch the series. But it’s a chore, even though I love historically accurate war films, documentaries and series. Probably will wait for episode 6 and the following to drop.
Not a bad call
Please so a spoilers review. I hate waiting every week for an episode
Nah, I can't do that - Apple would NOT be happy with me, lol
@@TheorySmack You're right. Actually after I wrote that comment I realized you probably wouldn't be able to do it since Apple gave you a screener. Thanks for the review.
The program was a huge disappointment. The usual Hollywood DEI crap crept in. CGI was woeful at times.
I wonder how many viewers they will lose in the first half that never return. I would be one of them if I hadn't ran across this video. The formula of "bombing run of the week" that they had going on in the beginning made me drop the series.
Yeah, it’s a shame.
Stick it out, second half is a lot better!
btw are you watching Death and other details?
Never heard of that.
this show sucks. the characters have no depth. at first I thought it was an intentional nod to how plastic and shallow characters typically were in 1940s/50s war movies. But no, the writing in this really is as bad as your typical 1940s John Wayne rah rah war movie. How man times can that one guy with no personality say "Boys!" at the end of every line
I didn't think it was that bad. But, again, I do think the first half of the show is pretty boring.
If you can stick it out until the latter half, you may find it more enjoyable.
perfect for my WWII avid husband
I'm sure he'll enjoy!
Dr. Mark Felton and his 2 channels.
World history channel.
Jimmy Stewart shorts on real life heroes and their stories
Your husband will thank you.
@@TheorySmack my comment on WW2 channels is gone????
@@TheorySmack did you delete my comment offering WW2 3 channel ideas for the wife?
CGI was crazy weak.
Little known spin. They were also fighting for the freedom to write about ancient Greek naked olive oil wrestling or even see modern day Turkish olive oil wrestling with all that grabbiness.
You got me so good.
I started reading this not knowing it was your comment and totally thought I was about to learn something. Lol
@@TheorySmack you think the Nazis would have allowed Turkish olive oil wrestling with all of that grabbiness?
@@tpl608 absolutely
@@TheorySmack not with the gays killed in camps. Did you delete my comment offeringvWW2 3 channels ideas to the wife?
Cgi is bad.... Really bad
The show is really bad. They go to a concentration camp and the actors look extremely clean like they're about to go in a photo shoot. They look clean enough to go on the red carpet. This is no band of brothers.
🤷♂️
I enjoyed it
