Wings of Courage

Despite familiar stars and seasoned writer-director Jean-Jacques Annaud (Enemy at the Gates), this 3-D Imax film still plays like a gimmick, a slight story slapped around neat-o special effects. Val Kilmer and Craig Sheffer play 1930s French pilots risking their lives to deliver mail over the Andes mountains. Sure, the rusty bolts of the rickety planes seem to pop out of the screen, but that’s the extent of the entertainment.
