Air Force: The Movie - Selagi Bernyawa

Low flying reprimandation? This yells Top Gun for when Maverick did his fly past! Couldn't they come up with something better ? What's with the English + bahasa mixed dialogue? Call signs were too corny.. lejen? SUPER CORNY DIALOGUE ALL THE WAY! Tuan Rahim? He seems the most relaxed amongst the entire crew that tried to portray some sense of urgency. I didn't know wether to cringe or cry looking at his facial expression!! Oh and another thing.. mid air refuelling when the jets just took off? They just had to dump everything into this show right?

Plus points for the enemy forces , north and south. They had a more realistic presence.

Very bad acting..emotionless..i seriously do not understand why people would say its a good movie..bad directing..the actors would not speak in their normal voices.it is so cringey at times.i cannot connect emotionally..the directors have failed tremendously..very sad..after watching for 56mins i was still waiting for a moment that would move me..alas..it would not come..its a disaster..even having adi putra in d film it did not help with anything.im sure th seasoned actors could have said something to the directors about how to improve on some scenes..however they too were oblivious to d situation surrounding them.

You maybe already watched 'Tears of the Sun' Bruce Willis movies but to watch this movie you need to forget about that and start fresh.

This is not about rescuing VIP, this is not about superpower millitary commandos intervening civil wars. This is about sacrifices, not leaving your buddies behind, think for others instead of saving your own, talk about why they wanna join the elite special force team, to serve and to protect.

I bet if you are Malaysian and after you done with this movie, you will feel urges to go straight to Royal Malaysia air force recruitment center to join them.

It is also nice to see good jet fighter dog fight scenes from russian made Sukhoi Su-27. The planning, the strategies, the millitary lingo radios, the command centers I bet this movie done a lot of researchs from the Malaysian royal air force themselves for the sake of 'realism'.

Tom Cruise Top gun maybe have biggest movie budget, Bruce Willis Tears of the Sun might have shown USA arrogance of military show off but coming from a country in south east asia, this movie is worth watching.

Lots of action, but also lots of melodrama. The special effects are actually not that bad and the units and equipment in this tale in a fictitious country are pretty on accurate for the Malaysian side.

Problem is the story is flat. There's the humanitarian doctor. The "critical of the military" reporter. The token Whiney character. The stoic commander and his band of hyper emotional commandos.

Of course there's a fairly chaste love story and the rivalry between brother in law and brother in said chaste relationship.

I will admit I had to fast forward a bunch of parts since there was a lot of excessive emotional outbursts superfluous to the story at hand.

The movie reminded me of the worst of modern Chinese and Indian cinema with it's kind of campy hyper patriotism, cardboard characters and boring "mission accomplished"-"roger that" type dialogue coupled with a lot of sentimentality.

Some scenes or plot lacks some explanation from the characters. Cinematography could be improved as it could get a bit shaky.

Though, You can see that there was alot of effort put into the movie. Scenes felt surreal. The jets, airplanes and helicopter must've needed alot of approval in order to operate, no? Jalan cerita gradual lepastu masuk climax just nice je. Effect and transition pon bagus. Overall, i love it! Wanna watch again.
