Absolutely a must see movie!

I was very excited about this documentary from the very first time I saw the trailer for the film. I bought the dvd version as soon as it was available. I saw the possibilities available for pre screenings but was never in the right place. I have to saw the movie does not disappoint!!! It is awesome!!!! The documentary features the infamous Grumman Albatross, a rare type of seaplane known as a flying boat, of which only a few remain. The way the movie uses historical footage plus the combination of the original modern footage is amazing. Never before seen / heard stories from the interviews of actual owners and operators of the Grumman Albatross is an absolute amazing insight to the history of the infamous seaplane. It is absolutely a must see. Now it's even easier to watch since it's been added to streaming platforms.

A beautiful

I had the privilege of watching The Flying Boat on the big screen, and I'm so glad I did; While Braun's film centers around a specific aircraft, the story gives way to his stunning visual aesthetic, both in cinematography and color treatment - there are many awe-inspiring visual moments. His deep appreciation for the community, lifestyle, and STYLE surrounding a vanishing craft (no pun intended) is coming across in the most beautiful way. This film feels like a labor of love, of the aircraft, and of filmmaking itself.

The whole thing left me with warmth, nostalgia, and some introspection over a disappearing world.

Totally recommend - 10/10.

My Favorite Movie About My Favorite Airplane

Truly a cinematic masterpiece about such a unique airplane and those who care about them. Thank you for bringing it to a broader audience for other people to enjoy, and appreciate the dedication it takes to keep these aircraft up and going. It helps people appreciate the mission these aircraft held when they were built. As well as the time and effort it takes to keep them going. It's not just about the time it takes to keep them going, but the money, dedication and most importantly the passion for these aircraft. Without the passion of the owners it would be impossible to keep these aircraft up and going.

When boats flew...Flying Boat film

This is a beautiful movie for all those who love the flying boats. It is reminiscent of a bygone era when aviation was young and adventurous. The cinematography is beautiful. So glad that Dirk Braun had the vision and time to do this. I followed his Instagram page for a couple of years, waiting anxiously for the film ti be released. I was not disappointed, and neither will anyone who loves these aircraft. So glad he was able to resurrect the ones that were already sitting in the boneyard in Arizona. I live near the old Pan Am seaplane base in Coconut Grove, and can only imagine how beautiful it must've been with these aircraft. Highly recommend this beautiful film.

Absolutely wonderful

One of the best films I have seen in a long time. As an aviation enthusiasts I would strongly recommend. This film made me want a albatros even more than I do on a daily basis. To see this wonderful machine and the guys with is brings back a nostalgia for in my opinion a better and simpler time where a real adventure was still a possibility. The filming of this is something astonishing in it's self. To be able to command such attention and capture such a beautiful machine is in its on a worthwhile watch. I'm giving this film a 9/10 mainly because I don't believe anything is perfect. But I can tell you. I am watching this again this coming weekend with my girlfriend and my cousins while we are at the lake.
