If you read such a grand title and learn that a great fan of Aviation like Harrison Ford is narrating, then it is extremely frustrating to discover the vast lack of detail of this movie.
After a promising intro, you literally get infuriated by the ever repeating scheme of praising the greatness of airplanes and what we could not do without them (let alone the ever repeating vocal theme that vigorously burns itself into your auditory cortex). It's like you wait for the beat to drop – but it never drops.
Of course, the film in general is beautifully made if you only look at the visual aspect, so it would wonderfully work for some soothing imagery in resting areas at airports - without sound.
But being an aviation enthusiast myself, I just cannot take this film seriously or recommend it to anyone else.
