I sure saw wings.
Great action sequences but I would've rather have much more focus on the romance but I liked the ending very much.
I do think the action scenes get repetitive but thats more the fault of the technology and where they could put the camera.
Wings
Youth, hitting the clouds! Laughing at danger! Fighting, loving, dodging death! That's "WINGS"
