First off-this film must have cost a lot of money to make. The aerial footage is fantastic. Beautifully filmed and am assuming there is a lot of CGI in the combat stuff but you really can't tell at all.
Where it does fall down is the story and the mapping out of the plot/characters. It's a fine art to craft a story where you get to care about the characters AND get drawn into the action. Sadly this film misses this goal. I don't know why, you just don't really care about any of them, even the central character. It just feels like they've stolen a bunch of ideas/tropes from other films and chucked then in in an effort to get you to connect. It all feels strangely detached.
Still, it's decent enough to pass the time, and if you're a fan of aerial footage then it's definitely worth it.
Have to say that I could have done with a lot more combat/plane footage-must be expensive to do it though!
P.s. There is some ridiculous stuff like a soldier seeing thet there's a black pilot as the plane flies past at 300mph+. Come oooooon.
Oh yeah and at the end in order to have a plot they have a crash landing that drives the next dramatic scene. Why the hell did they land the plane?!?!?! Just bail out ffs!
