    I love to hate the Red Chinese, and I hate to love them...

    ....but this is a great action movie! It's entertaining, and shows a lot of heart.

    The flying sequences are superbly exciting, and the army discipline is enviable.

    The camera work and acting are very good.

    By American standards, it's a bit too starchy and dignified: there needs to be more in the way of bloody violence and romance to satisfy our palate. (On the other hand, it does show grown men cry, a no-no in American films.)

    I hope the Republicans can get our military back in shape; or else, as intimated by this well-made, entertaining film, as it currently stands, if push came to shove, the communist Chinese military would eat our lunch.

    Burning and explosive

    Wasn't sure what to expect going into this movie even though we know the synopsis that these men are test pilots.

    Lei Yu was a fighter pilot who was recruited to be a test pilot. From here, his character develop. The movie overall was burning, explosive and exciting! The beginning scene could make a run for many Hollywood's movies. The comedy in here is spot on too but some pun cannot be transfer from Chinese to English well. This is the sucky part many westerners will miss on this pun sense of humor.

    The friendship and chemistry between the team is good too.

    The romance is subtle but nice.

    Recommend high watch..

    Definitely worth watching it at the theatre

    Big budgeted film with the help of Chinese military. There are shots of test pilot cemetery and big field of solar panels that I don't think it has been revealed to outside world before. Most of the content is based on true stories. The movie contains a lot of interesting and technical stuff about a little known career - test pilots. Surprisingly, I enjoy learning all those technical terms. The test flight scenes are super intense thanks to the very well done CGI. The romance line is almost non-existent and actually I think, unnecessary. There are also some humors here and there. Expect some degree of patriotism propaganda though.

    Top Gun Knock Off

    This was an obvious attempt at replicating Top Gun, but without the chops. I dropped off three times, but finally made it through on the fourth attempt. I rented it for $2.99, that was a mistake.

    The storyline is OK, at least now I know there are test pilots out there. Acting was also OK; not great, not horrible.

    The part that was hard frustrating was the obvious Chinese propaganda and "us vs the world" antics. I watch movies to entertain myself, not to be brainwashed. It was rated 9.9 on Viki, the highest score I've ever seen on the app thus far. I am guessing the hero / martyr propaganda resonated with the Chinese audience.
