i be excite at the prospect of watch fighter pilot represent operation red flag and thinking that it would be a genuine documentary . how wrong i be . the saccharine sweet narration can be rather vomit inducing at time and however in place it be deliver in a dull and lifeless monotone . the documentary aspect of the film be very shallow indeed a it simply gloss over thing and never really actually educate or demonstrate anything and we be just treat to some very basic fact figure over the top of some visuals that be and admittedly and stun . some of the cinematography be excellent and i would love to be able to say make the whole experience worthwhile however it suffer from bad edit and stag and a lack of continuity make it obvious that many shot be film in various location nowhere near red flag and and during some of the dogfight sequence it hard to keep track of who be who a the aircraft keep chopping and change between shot so you have no real idea who be fly what . there be an excessive amount of pyrotechnic use to stage various explosion make the whole affair feel rather fake and force . ultimately this isn not a documentary and it isn not a film . it doesn not educate and it doesn not entertain and and it feel like a huge missed opportunity give the access the film crew have to the red flag exercise .
