The New Blue Angels Documentary Looks Incredible But Hopefully Tickets Include A Barf Bag

Amazon Prime has dropped a trailer for a new documentary about the Blue Angels and it looks incredible and like it will cause some serious motion sickness if you're not careful.

Which is exactly what you want out of a Blue Angles documentary. If you don't feel like you're going to hurl your $9 Coke all over your Reeboks the film did not do its job.

This one looks like it'll get the job done.

The series — simply titled The Blue Angels — is produced by JJ Abrams and Glen Powell who of course, starred in Top Gun: Maverick.

"The documentary, from (Abrams' production company) Bad Robot, Glen Powell’s Barnstorm Productions Zipper Bros Films, and Dolphin Entertainment, follows a year in the life of the Blue Angels from training through their touring show season filmed with awe-inspiring IMAX cameras".

So you're telling me it's Hard Knocks with the Blue Angel?

That is brilliant.

Like I mentioned though, make sure you've got some Dramamine on you if you watch this puppy in IMAX. The teenage usher won't be too pumped about having to clean your stomach contents out of the aisle. Dude's got a chemistry test in the morning, he's already in a bad mood. 

Believe me, it can happen. I remember seeing a Blue Angels documentary at Wright-Patterson Airforce Base (which is definitley not where they took the bodies of the Roswell aliens and stuffed them in Hangar 18; stop asking) when I was a kid. There was a giant motion sickness warning outside the theater and then before the movie too.  Like, it was Cloverfield or the Transformers ride at Universal Studios.

I managed to keep everything down, but I remember feeling like my equilibrium was a bit off. It wasn't so bad that I stumbled out of that theater and nearly crashed into a replica of the Apollo 11 capsule, but every step I took had to be deliberate.

I'm all in on this doc. I can't wait to see what goes into doing what they do from the safety and stillness of my couch.

The Blue Angels will be in IMAX theaters for one week from May 17 to 23 but will be on Amazon Prime immediately after its theatrical run.
