The Blue Angels

I was fortunate to spend 3 years of my navy enlistment with the Blue Angels. The movie is spot on and you some of the insights on how a team becomes successful. Glad to be here! It's more than just talking points. It's a sincere appreciation of living in the moment. The team is the real deal. Hardest days in El Centro but it was well worth it and this movie gives you a backstage pass. If you are a fan of the Blue Angels or aviation, you will love this movie. I missed it on IMAX but caught it on Prime. Would have been amazing to see at an IMAX theater but a nice home theater does the trick. Turn up your volume!!

As a life long aviation enthusiast (and holding a commercial multi-engine pilot certificate) I was excited for this documentary; especially in iMAX. Even with the somewhat high expectation, I was still blown away with the jaw dropping aerial cinematography. Not only that, the way it was produced is magnificent. I am so glad that I was able to see it on the big screen instead of watching it on Amazon Prime. With that being said, if you weren't able to see it on the big screen, it'll still be good on Amazon Prime! It get's a 9/10 from me. By far the best aspect of the film was showcasing the men and women behind the scenes. The families of the pilots and maintenance crews who hold down the fort at home while their loved one is off representing the U. S. Navy/Marine.

The Blue Angels is a documentary that won't bore even the children in the audience, as it is filled with stunning shots of their aircraft maneuvering, as well as views inside the cockpit. Aviation is awesome!!

P. S... I'm just glad to be here.

I was utterly electrified by this documentary, which takes you on an intimate journey behind the scenes of the elite Blue Angels flying team. Combining heart-stopping aerial footage with personal stories of courage, skill, and teamwork, this film is a game-changer. As someone who's witnessed many airshows during my NCC days - even serving on the cadets' organizers team - I thought I'd seen it all. But this documentary was in a league of its own, showcasing a level of precision, skill, and sheer thrill that left me awestruck.

Watching the Blue Angels' performances was like soaring through the skies alongside them, with the "Diamond" formation's 18-inch distance between planes flying at 400 mph leaving me breathless. The grueling training sessions, including the 'G-Force Centrifuge Capsule', and the daring 'Sneak', 'Break', and 'Boss' maneuvers, were exhilarating. The stunning 360-degree roll was the icing on the cake.

What struck me most was the bravery and dedication of the U. S. Marine and Navy pilots, whose commitment to their craft is beyond comprehension. Their stories are humbling and inspiring, and the photography is simply stunning, capturing the beauty and power of the F/A-18 Hornets in thrilling detail.

As you watch, you'll find yourself on the edge of your seat, nail-biting, and covered in goosebumps. This documentary is an uplifting and thrilling ride that will leave you feeling proud and inspired. Don't miss it - it's a MUST-watch! Watch on the biggest screen in your home for the best experience!

I feel like Top Gun 2 is opening up a can of worms to produce movies about Ariplanes. It was a great IMAX experience but I have to say nothing overally spectcalar happen that i would recommend it over a reglar format.

It was an intresting story and like a line of GI Joe action figures their was a Blue Angel for everyone. They could be more diverse but that's really not the point, the point it they did do their best to showcase everyone.

This is why I say you can watch this on any format. For a film that was promoted as being for IMAX they could have done more airplane scenes or something. Not that what they did show does not blow me away, the documentary has a lot of talking overall. More suited for true lovers of Aviation.

This is a really great docu! Fort Smith, AR used to get these amazing pilots right here, flying over our house. In person, they are awe inspiring! This docu shows how hard they work to give the rest of us an amazing demo to those of us on the ground. The teamwork is incredibly precise and they all make it seem easy that which unbelievably difficult. If you want to see what teamwork really looks like, this film will give you no doubt about it. Watching this in a film will give me a better understanding of who these hardworking pilots really are, their dedication, as well as the joy one sees on the audience's face as they watch the precision and the heritage of The Blue Angels.
