First thing you should know about planes: it's a spin off to the cars movies. I will split this review into sections to give you a better overview of how I ended up with this rating.Visuals: This is by far the best part of the movie. The world of planes feels very colorful and alive and there are a lot of changes in location. The flight scenes are well done too. 8/10Story: This is where the movie fails to deliver. Sure it is a spin off to cars but there are just too many similar scenes/characters. The movie has barely anything that makes it stand out. You always know whats coming next and how the movie will end and it will be even worse if you watched cars before. The story is still okay and I can imagine you will have fun watching it with your kids and if you have not watched cars before. 4/10Sound: Not much to say here. It was good but nothing spectacular. 6/10

I know this is suppose to be sort of a spin off of Cars, but this film didn't have the Pixar logo with it. Also the characters in this look cool but they're very similar to the characters from Cars. Now I have a little brother who likes the movie Cars and that has the Pixar logo with it. Now this Dusty Crophopper is very similar to Lightning McQueen and his goal is to be a racing plane other then a crop duster. Now I've never known about plane racing as a sport until now. Also this old plane from World War 2 is sorta like Doc Hudson aka the Hudson Hornet and this green plane named Ripslinger is like Chick Hicks and he doesn't become a villain until Dusty joins the races and in the end he ends up crashing into Port potties and gets covered in car do do. There's also this one part in the movie which is pretty dark where the World War 2 plane tells about his past and some of his fellow fighter planes end up dying while attacking a German ship. Now in the end Dusty becomes plane racing legend just like Lightning and everything works out well. Still the whole plot of this film is very similar to the plot of Cars and this film just didn't seem to have very much laughter or emotional moments in it like other Disney films do. So like in the title of this review, this Disney film just didn't seem to have the right amount of heart in it and Frozen is way better then this. The Lion King is also one of my favorites.

Besides a totally predictable film and all the characters are totally forgettable, without any of the brilliant moments of it's inspiration movie (cars), this movie also have a huge geographical mistake: The part of the race between Yucatan, Mexico and New York, we can see the planes flying through a big canyon (colorado canyon?) in their way to new york. Unless fly all the way west to Arizona and then go back north east to NY, which makes as many sense as going from LA to Denver but going to Hawaii first. Of course we can understand the idea of action scenes of planes making hard maneuvers in a canyon, but children should at least be entertained with true facts.

From the skull on the side of the plane, to the "RIP" SLINGER to the "HE's GOING TO DIE" as the first thing you hear in the trailer.. there is some serious "death subliminal messages in this movie" that is suppose to be for children... Am i the only one that noticed it, I seriously had to turn off the trailer alone because It bothered me so much about how much "death" subliminal messages were in it alone. Pretty sad reflection on the mindset of American society. I also watched the introduction about the flight with the Dad and his two sons, and how they praised that they were proud of their father for making this movie, and how he mentioned it was a moment he would remember for the rest of his life...and all the talk about "Death" almost expected me to hear at the end of it that he died in a plane crash or something.. Like they were setting it up for that.. So bizarre.. Please tell me I'm not the only one that picked up on what the movie was actually saying, suggesting.
