i be so look forward to see this film and especially a it be make for the wonderful imax format and yet it turn out to be such a let down . if you know nothing about the subject yet want to feel that you be fly with the aircraft then by all mean go an see this film . if you know something about the subject matter then you will pick hole all over the place in this film . whilst not be a pilot i know enough about this to comment . the film follow the story of a pilot from the 366th fighter wing at mountain home afb who go to the red flag exercise at nellis afb for the first time . it take me three quarter of the film to fully establish what aircraft type he fly because of the poor continuity this film suffers from . to start with and it imply he fly an f 15c eagle but for much of the film we see sequence involve the f 15e strike eagle . it be only when i realise which squadron his neck scarf and shoulder patch represent that i know for sure what he fly in . in the mix be sequence involve f 15cs from the u. s. airforce wing base in japan ( look for the zzs ) and all see on the ground when our pilot be be discuss . the film must have be make during two or more red flag exercise and a we see royal navy sea harrier in one shot and and raf harrier in another ( no and they be not there at the same time . ) . we have another sequence where the commentator talk about aircraft from other visit nation and yet fail to mention the israeli and whose f 16 we be view at the time . my view be that if they be too politically sensitive to talk about then do not even show u the image either . we then move to the fly sequence . this have quite clearly be film over idaho represent firstly and nevada be not that green while and secondly it involve f 15 and f 16 from mountain home in idaho and and a 10 from the idaho air national guard ( neither the a 10 or f 16 be see at nellis early ) . the fly sequence involve both snippet of poor cgi would aircraft and internal view of a control e 3 awacs and which be quite obviously inside a studio . the ground attack sequence should use the term fire for effect a that be what they clearly be and poor firework . the one true sequence we see of modern munition hit their target look very different . i know much of this may seem like nit picking but the film start out with so much promise and and then it go on to suffer from dumbing down and which be a great shame a several bit be very good and especially one where a camera be slung underneath an f 15 and we get treat to some great low level fly while and the shot of four f 15es in close formation at a fairly low level . i may not be able to review this film as eloquently a others do but that be down to my sheer frustration at a chance waste here . i feel like the audience be be treat a a fool because of the appalling continuity and dumbing down for effect of this film . top gun may have have it fault but it be a far good film than this .
