Flight of the Beast

Wow! This truly is a great documentary and an essential purchase to any Maiden fan's collection. This documentary (which bares it's name from the plane's flight number, which is in reference to their third album.) showcases Iron Maiden's immense touring schedule during their latest world tour: Somewhere Back In Time. A schedule only possible due to Ed Force One: The band's very own Boeing 757 flown by the band's own lead singer/frontman, Bruce Dickinson. Somewhere Back In Time was an epic tour that showcased the early hits of the band. It was also a great way to show the earlier songs off to a younger generation of fans while keeping the theme from their previous World Slavery Tour of 1984-85.
I personally have seen this tour last summer and the film when it was shown in Pittsburgh on April 21, 2009 and was completely sold on a purchase while leaving the theater. The theater was digital (thus capable of HD video and audio). The extensive concert footage shown between interview segments and documentary footage was very nice and able to please any fan. It was a very neat experience to hear the concert in DTS-HD at the theater and I definitely felt bad for anyone in the adjacent theater that could most certainly hear the British heavy metal giants' loud sound from concerts around the world. The set list consists of the band's greatest hits from their debut album (Iron Maiden) to 1992's Fear of the Dark.
If you are a fan of documentaries (or in this case Rock-U-Mentaries), Iron Maiden, or concert DVD's, then I strongly suggest the purchase of Flight 666. It is a great film that perfectly blends the three different crowds I recommend this film towards. I give Flight 666 5 Metal Horns Up. UP THE IRONS \m/('_')\m/

What's great about it: The video is in 1080p with great HD audio mixed in.
What's not so great: Nothing really. Its everything you would expect.
I would recommend this to a friend!
