Wow this has some of the best fighter pilot scenes EVER. Great Chinese blockbuster, good plot tho acting is a tad forced. Awesome CGI

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.

If your are in for aerial combat, then this is it! It has the best dog fight scene since Top Gun. The directing and script writing aren't perfect. You can find many loopholes if you are picky. For example, why are the Chinese special force using M4s and FAST helmets? How did those copters slipped through Radar detection. Why the Chinese air force only send in 2 fighters...beside these little things, they got everything right. Again, aerial combat scenes are freaking awesome

Pros: Has some interesting shots of aircraft

Cons: Pretty much everything else. includes - Badly done aerial combat sequences. Top Gun was fun, included real aircraft, but the combat wasn't realistic. This has very few "real aircraft" shots in it, linked to combat sequences that looked like they were dreamt up by a 7 year old playing with a couple of Tamiya kits - Dull plot that seemed to scrape the worst bits from Top Gun, Behind Enemy Lines 2 (yes, that laughable "being chased by missile" sequence), and Blackhawk down - Flat characters, none of whom it was possible to give a stuff about Absolute bargain basement DVD section for this one.

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.
