January 7th

I went to Amazon Prime today for the entry in the Genre-ary. I was excited about this one. It was one that I remember wanting to go see in the theater, but did not get around to it. This was The Blue Angels.

Sadly, I was just not that into this doc. There was some amazing aerial footage of the Blue Angels, but I found much of the remainder of the doc to be fairly dull and I had trouble getting into it.

According to IMDB, this movie “Follows the veterans and newest class of Navy and Marine Corps flight squadron as they go through intense training and into a season of heart-stopping aerial artistry.“

The film does not spend much time diving too deeply into the story of the doc. It feels at times like a commercial for the Navy and the Blue Angels.

As I said, some of the footage in the film was sensational, but I needed more than what they gave me. I just struggled to get into anything in the doc, outside of the great visuals.
