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