An interesting film from a War Movie collector's perspective. This is the play "Journey's End" transplanted from the trenches to the air. I have seen the play and the new film, so it matches up quite well, cliches and all. The aircraft are a bit offputing, but it's a movie, so some suspension of disbelief is alowed. I suppose they had to make do with what was available back then. Interestingly, the movie "Flyboys" gets the rotary engined Nieuports wrong as well, along with some dodgy cgi tracer smoke.
I would give it a 7 purely from its historical perspective.
