Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Steineded How sad is this?

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

phd_travel It helps a bit to understand this movie if you know it is a Russian / US joint venture. This explains the Russian and US filming locations and cast. It's entertaining if not fully comprehensible.Fighter airplane buffs will enjoy the multitude of planes on display. The aerial combat is quite exciting and not that difficult to figure out who is who when they remove the mouth piece of the helmets.It's not Top Gun at all. The surprisingly current and complicated story involves some Saddam weapon called the Rainmaker. A bunch of young hot shot pilots (kudos to makeup for making them look younger) are set up in a friendly fire incident and sacked. Then 7 years later some of them are recruited to destroy the weapon in Iran with Russian assistance. It gets a bit confusing then but the action is exciting including some over the top shoot outs at airbases. The multi national production does not look cheap even though there is a slightly amateurish vibe throughout. Hard to figure out at first who are the good guys and who are the bad guys.The cast is a bit better than the story. Cam Gigandet of Twilight and Troy Garity are the good guys. Mario Van Peebles is the villain. Shane West of Nikita is the good guy turned bad. Nice to see Rachel Leigh Cook on screen again and speaking Russian no less.Overall a B movie can be entertaining even if you don't always know what is going on.

Katie Paget 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.

Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a group air force soldiers who are disgraced because they received erroneous instructions, but they are unable to prove their innocence. Years later, they have a chance to clear their name by stopping the detonation of a deadly weapon.The plot is well written and full of thrills. The constant air stunts and fighter pilots battling on the skies are very fascinating. The tight plot keeps me on edge all the time. I also like the portrayal of brotherhood among the soldiers. It's great that the film it's not too bloody given it's an action packed thriller. I enjoyed watching "Red Skies" a lot.

Jesse Boland Overall this is a decent jet fighter plane action in the skies kind of movie. Another Mario Van Peebles movie, but even his over acting is almost watchable. The rest of the cast is great, and there is a good back story built up to show a true brotherhood, and friendship between the soldiers from the US, and Russia. Rachael Leigh Cook looks great, this must have been filmed last year before the newest season of Perception, or earlier, as she still looks young, and definitely not pregnant(Not that she is not allowed to be, but lately the show is missing the old RLC, and that's a me problem, so back to the review). It is good to see Troy Garity not playing a heavy, or a creep. Not much to say about the male leads that you do not already know, or expect from them, they do as they should, and you get what you want. There are a lot of good pyrotechnics in this movie(Big things going boom)and the action shots are edited together well to give the seamless effect of a plane shooting, and the effect on the ground being realistic(there are too many of these lower budget films that don't understand how important that is). I enjoyed this as a bit of action fluff, the story is not broken, it flows smoothly, and you are not left in the dark about any of the main characters, their motives, or where they end up. I do recommend this one to anyone who likes movies with air combat, and explosions, for you this is just the ticket. Otherwise most folks will find the story full enough, and will not feel very lost, or disappointed with the results.
