Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Early in the film, one pilot does a barrel roll over the other jet, in what is presumably a homage to the same stunt performed by Chuck Yeager in the John Wayne vehicle Jet Pilot (1957). more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Fahrenheit and Ipod walk on the tarmac toward their planes, Fahrenheit asks : "What is our mission?". This is highly improbable, pilots know their mission before setting foot on the tarmac. more

Good fun movie, 12 November 2006
8/10
Author: bobetjo from United Kingdom

I remember the Aeronauts from the early 70s. Badly dubbed into English, with French pilots shooting up North Africa at the drop of a croissant.

This is a slick remake. Some bits of the plot was a bit hard to follow because of slightly jerky edits. But ignore that and it is s real fun film.

Other people have commented on the flight and combat scenes. These are amazing, and if CGI was used anywhere I didn't spot it. (May be a low level supersonic run?) But I am not a fan of flying films, and this one almost converted me.

Music is by Chris Corner (see IMDb) and is not overwhelming. This is Top Gun plus and I would recommend it. Especially as, like a lot of French films, the DVD can be picked up cheap at the end of the movie run.
