Colleges and Universities A-Z Air Force Academy - Colorado Springs

<p>To any of you who wasted about $10 and went to see Annapolis (that movie got horrible ratings too), don’t think that that is anything like the way a military Academy would be. </p>

<p>The upperclassmen can’t cuss at you, and they probably wouldn’t rub a Twinkie into your uniform, since thy can’t touch you without permission. Also, any boxing, here or there, includes headgear and shirts, and they use standing 8 counts, not 10 counts. It’s amateur boxing, not professional. </p>

<p>Also, you’d probably get in a lot of trouble for working out in the boxing gym at midnight with a female upperclassmen.</p>

<p>i heard they can't cuss at the AFA and Navy. but West Point is a different story. </p>

<p>and that movie was hilarious.</p>

<p>Ridiculously bad movie - not just due to its diversion from reality of life at a military academy but lack of plot, no theme, constant jumping around, not tying up loose ends, etc.</p>

<p>It was amusing, though, being in a theater with over 100 other cadets.</p>

<p>To sum it up - quite possible the worst movie I've ever seen, but possibly the most fun I've had in a theater</p>

<p>Yeah, it was more about boxing than anything else...</p>

<p>I had to explain to my mom that it wasn't accurate, she would've believed it otherwise.</p>

5

<p>So, compared to Codebreakers.....is Annapolis pretty bad?</p>

6

<p>I've never seen Codebreakers, but it is pretty bad. There's another thread about it under USNA.</p>

7

<p>Code Breakers wasn't that bad...pretty good I would say...and you haven't seen it so how can you judge it?</p>

8

<p>"So, compared to Codebreakers.....is Annapolis pretty bad?"</p>

<p>In my opinion, Annapolis is a lot worse.</p>

9

<p>I have never seen Codebreakers, and I thought Annapolis was pretty bad.</p>

10

<p>UNcYnical, did you go see it when all the cadets were there in flight suits? I did, it was pretty funny.</p>

11

<p>No, but there was a group of cadets who came in right before it started with their USAFA athletic shorts hiked way up and their USAFA t-shirts either cut off or tied above their stomachs to show them off. They were also wearing some weird hats, but I couldn't really tell what they were from where I was sitting. They ran around in front for a short time, to the cheers of all the cadets then sat in the very front row.</p>

12

<p>I just saw the movie a few hours ago. Probably the worst movie I have ever seen (not because it is Annapolis). It ****es me off because it gives people the wrong impression of academy life.</p>

13

<p>I was snowboarding all weekend, and will be again next weekend. I'll probably never see it... :-(</p>

14

<p>i still suggest seeing it. Jordana Brewster is the cadre every male basic wants.</p>

15

<p>so codebreakers gives a better depiction of what cadet life is (was) like?</p>
