They had access to real Su 27 vesrsions and this is what they do with it?!?!?
I am so sad.
In top gun they did not had real mig-s, they used american F5 instead. It did not look real. But was good movie.
Red sky did had access to real russian Su 27UB planes. It was great! It was so much they could do with this!
But what did we get???? Basic american superhero story! Cmon!!!
Air fights ware patetic!! They have mostly gunfigts...like it is WWII...jeez. Gun on moden jet is there for a backup at best. Not primary weapon.
And american pilots knew how to fly Su 27 after just 1 flight with it (it take few months to get just basic training in to new fighter jet). As i said typical american superhero!
They could do so much with russian pilots and Su27 and skip that pointles rainmaker story. They could give us more relationships between american and russian pilots. Real one...no superhero crap.
And better coordinated air fights.
Could be top gun with russian accent (Su 27 and some russian pilots in the mix).
But no!
We got movie with 80-s script, modern,cheap look and epic russian fighter jet in the mix.

Not Bad, but not particularly good
I watched this film on the premise that it had fighter pilots and former *NSYNC member, JC Chasez. I am glad to say that if I watched this with any further expectations, I would have been deeply disappointed.
To me, this movie felt like a rough draft and really needed to be polished. The special effects were tolerable at best. Some of the SFX seemed unrealistic, leaving the movie looking amateur. Most of the duologue was forced and seemed out of place, whilst other parts were bland and wooden.
Filming locations differed which changed up the otherwise boring plot. One redeeming feature is that the plot and characters are fulfilled without leaving you wondering 'what happened?' afterward.Overall, this film didn't keep my attention and unless you are a devoted fan of anything aviation related, I wouldn't bother watching this.

Oh, the humanity
The movie is stupid and bad beyond concepts. The acting is unreal. Mario van Peebles should be banned from making films or acting anywhere in the world!
entertaining enough to enjoy, underrated
This movie is better then the rating it has.
I found the movie entertaining, action sequences were very good.
There were many boring moments, too much unnecessary drama.
Overall I liked the movie and finished it, I found the ending satisfying.
An enjoyable action packed thriller
This film tells the story of a group air force soldiers who are disgraced because they received erroneous instructions, but they are unable to prove their innocence. Years later, they have a chance to clear their name by stopping the detonation of a deadly weapon.
The plot is well written and full of thrills. The constant air stunts and fighter pilots battling on the skies are very fascinating. The tight plot keeps me on edge all the time. I also like the portrayal of brotherhood among the soldiers. It's great that the film it's not too bloody given it's an action packed thriller. I enjoyed watching "Red Skies" a lot.

Did you know
- TriviaWhen doing the "HAHO" drop, they jumped from a JU-52, a German pre-WWII tri-motor fixed undercarriage airplane! There are only one of these flying. Very doubtful that Lufthansa would lend it to anyone for such a stunt.
- Goofsin the scene where they escape in the bi-plane one of the crew is shot in the right foot and the Russian Lady Pilot dresses the wound. when he excites the plane his left foot is bandaged...
