Bruce Willis + WW II China + B movie grade CGI + every Hollywood cliche imaginable = hilariously bad trailer

Well that looks pretty terrible. Maybe its the trailer but Bruce Willis' acting is silly and he kind of comes off as though he's not real interested in the part and doesn't really want to be there.
With the advent of cheaper more readily available CGI effects I'm afraid that more and more movies will rely on them rather than storyline. Or even in the case of a good storyline seeing it somewhat ruined by over the top CGI effects, IE every aircraft that is hit by gunfire exploding violently in torrents of smoke and flames.

You’re not off the mark. This essentially looks like a Chinese film trying to copy the Michael Bay formula and style lock, stock, and barrel.

Well....at least this Chinese movie doesn't have MATT DAMON in it and there aren't any mystical dragons or other creatures chasing the planes.
