Red Sky

The plot I believe is the result of something hastily slapped together,for a direct to video release. It contains a bunch of people who can't act to save their life.

Aside from Bill Pullman who must be really in need of money,and look very out of place. You have the usual stereotype character the good looking cool guy.Who fly fighter planes just wearing a leather jacket and a helmet. the not so good looking and so on.

They have stolen a bit from other airplane movies.I Recognize a few scenes here and there,borrowed from movies in the 80 and 90s.Like a good portion of the storyline. I can clearly see stuff like Iron eagle,flight of the intruder,and a dozen others

Some of the plane scenes are clearly computer animated.Quite badly too. Others are just hilariously bad filmed. When they fly low over the rooftops in Moscow, underneath a grey and overcast sky.Yet every inside shot from the cockpit show they are above the clouds, with clouds underneath a clear blue sky above.

Lest not forget the constant re-shot they use.I could count at least 3- 4 scenes that were being reused in the film

Mario Van peebles are not believable as a CIA agent.You actually start laughing at him, cause he's o out of place.It look like he's been picked up from a bad 80 action flick.

And the all over acting leaves a lot to be desired. Rachael Leigh cook look like she have no idea what her part is suppose to bring to the movie,in mostly every scene that's not one on one,she look lost,and totally clueless of why she's there

I am so sad.

In top gun they did not had real mig-s, they used american F5 instead. It did not look real. But was good movie.

Red sky did had access to real russian Su 27UB planes. It was great! It was so much they could do with this!

But what did we get???? Basic american superhero story! Cmon!!!

Air fights ware patetic!! They have mostly gunfigts...like it is WWII...jeez. Gun on moden jet is there for a backup at best. Not primary weapon.

And american pilots knew how to fly Su 27 after just 1 flight with it (it take few months to get just basic training in to new fighter jet). As i said typical american superhero!

They could do so much with russian pilots and Su27 and skip that pointles rainmaker story. They could give us more relationships between american and russian pilots. Real one...no superhero crap.

And better coordinated air fights.

Could be top gun with russian accent (Su 27 and some russian pilots in the mix).

But no!

We got movie with 80-s script, modern,cheap look and epic russian fighter jet in the mix.

I am so sad.

I watched this film on the premise that it had fighter pilots and former *NSYNC member, JC Chasez. I am glad to say that if I watched this with any further expectations, I would have been deeply disappointed.

To me, this movie felt like a rough draft and really needed to be polished. The special effects were tolerable at best. Some of the SFX seemed unrealistic, leaving the movie looking amateur. Most of the duologue was forced and seemed out of place, whilst other parts were bland and wooden.

Filming locations differed which changed up the otherwise boring plot. One redeeming feature is that the plot and characters are fulfilled without leaving you wondering 'what happened?' afterward.Overall, this film didn't keep my attention and unless you are a devoted fan of anything aviation related, I wouldn't bother watching this.

The movie is stupid and bad beyond concepts. The acting is unreal. Mario van Peebles should be banned from making films or acting anywhere in the world!

This movie is better then the rating it has. I found the movie entertaining, action sequences were very good. There were many boring moments, too much unnecessary drama. Overall I liked the movie and finished it, I found the ending satisfying.
