'Real pilots. Real risks': IMAX releases official trailer for new Blue Angels documentary
The U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron Blue Angels are heading to the silver screen this summer as IMAX released an official trailer and release date for a brand new documentary on the Blues.
"The Blue Angels" is a documentary produced by J.J. Abrams and Glen Powell scheduled to release exclusively in IMAX theaters for one week only, May 17-23, following the "veterans and newest class of Navy and Marine Corps flight squadron as they go through intense training and into a season of heart-stopping aerial artistry," according to IMDB.
After its IMAX release, "The Blue Angels" will then be available to stream through Amazon Prime Video beginning May 23, according to Amazon MGM Studios. IMAX also released its 87-second long official trailer with the tagline, "Real pilots. Real Risks. No second chances."
According to Amazon Studios' summary of the documentary, the new movie will "take audiences soaring with the Navy's elite Flight Demonstration Squadron as never before."
"Filmed for IMAX, the immersive footage puts you in the cockpit for a firsthand view of the Blue Angels' precision flying, while the aerial shots deliver a spectacular showcase of the breathtaking maneuvers that have made them the world's premier jet team," the summary says.
"The Blue Angels" also takes audiences behind the scenes for a revealing, in-depth look at what it takes to become a Blue Angel – from the careful selection process to the challenging training regimen, and on through the demanding eight-month show season, the summary says.
