Sky Hunter

Sky Hunter is a decent action flick up to par with Hollywood popcorn blockbusters, which is impressive!

Not sure why people brand it as a propaganda movie. A little double standard is taken into account when handling chinese military movies, it's kind of sad. I think people dont know what propaganda means anymore. Propaganda is information that is used to mislead and influence the public opinion in favor of for example a political standpoint.

I see no portraying of propaganda none whatsoever in this movie. This movie even admits that China has no modern real life combat experience. What military propaganda admits their disadvantage? Also this movie promotes peace over war, and that the military should be only used for national security and defense and not for terror. If advocating peace and non intrusive military is propaganda, then I welcome this propaganda anytime!

Other than that this movie shows brotherhood, comradeship, romance and love. It was entertaining from beginning to end, and the fairly unknown actors (except for Fan Bingbing the female protagonist, which is a superstar in China!) did a pretty good job acting out their characters. The Villains were convincing. The fighter jet dogfight scene, John Woo style showdown shooting fest in mid-air was memorable, though not realistic, but hey its a movie!

The scene where the two fighter jet pilots exchanged words through their intercom while flying next to each other and daring each other out, is a scene I have never seen before in any action movie and may very well be an instant classic!

For that audience, and no worse than many western action flix. Very simplistic story but good aerial graphics (in general) and technology. Interestingly the 'bad guys' seemed to be Russian or at least one of the southern ?styistans but speaking English, hmmmm not sure what to make of that Anyway not a great film but no worse that many out of the west.

I truly enjoyed the movie as it is exciting to watch from start til the end. There's some jokes involved as well (if you are running man china aka keep running fan, as you will notice there's cameo appearance captain Deng chao on one quick screen) the chemistry between actor and actress simply just superb. Even through its Li Chen first director film (he also involved in script writing part as well) the story line is not too messy.

For the past few years, china production movies seriously beat Hong Kong movies. As I found sky hunter touches your heart deeply as you will feel their dedication for the love for their countries.

I seriously recommended Sky Hunter if you are a fan of action movies.

Its really true. Past few years PRC film industry did huge progression. I mean, CGI in "Lost in the Pacific" or first "Wolf warriors" was so-so, or really bad. This movies was made i think around 2014-15. But then! I see many films released in 2017 (or even end 2016) and this just wow. How they improve, and you may disagree, but this action films like WW2, Operation Mekong, Sky Hunter and other - REALLY ACTION FILMS, not this talky trash that Hollywood try to sell us nowadays. Its Sky Hunter need to crash box office, not cartoonish "Thor 666: Guardians of Disney chatty Galaxy". Yes this Chinese films have some issues with strong propaganda, but I can live with it. Because I want see films for grown ups filled with real action and real drama.

Quite surprised, Chinese movies special effects and action getting really good, they are learning from how US Hollywood has done it. Really liked the jet action and dogfighting. Also had a good plot with emotions and drama. Glad I get a chance to see some of the movies China is putting out vs only getting to see US Hollywood movies. China is becoming a big movie market and I believe it has done well in their market.
