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.

Overall not a bad movie.. but it was lacking. Better than the pathetic cheeze of Iron Eagle (or it's pathetic added on clones)

Don't expect "Top Gun" quality of production and it can be interesting. However don't expect Plan 9 either.

Some decent actors.. but poor direction from MVP whom can't direct or act his way out of a wet paper bag.

That said.. at least it's not another steaming pile of sh*t from Ewe Boll! (Some moron(s) somewhere keep giving that putz $ to make movies and he creates nothing but total crap.. worst director ever)

As for aircraft.. a decent display of older Mig-29's mostly which is not as common for an American movie.

Too bad they did not have a real director instead of MVP... perhaps with someone with actual directing skill this could have been a better production.

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!

The plot I believe is the result of something hastily slapped together,for a direct to video release. It contains a bunch of people who can't act to save their life.

Aside from Bill Pullman who must be really in need of money,and look very out of place. You have the usual stereotype character the good looking cool guy.Who fly fighter planes just wearing a leather jacket and a helmet. the not so good looking and so on.

They have stolen a bit from other airplane movies.I Recognize a few scenes here and there,borrowed from movies in the 80 and 90s.Like a good portion of the storyline. I can clearly see stuff like Iron eagle,flight of the intruder,and a dozen others

Some of the plane scenes are clearly computer animated.Quite badly too. Others are just hilariously bad filmed. When they fly low over the rooftops in Moscow, underneath a grey and overcast sky.Yet every inside shot from the cockpit show they are above the clouds, with clouds underneath a clear blue sky above.

Lest not forget the constant re-shot they use.I could count at least 3- 4 scenes that were being reused in the film

Mario Van peebles are not believable as a CIA agent.You actually start laughing at him, cause he's o out of place.It look like he's been picked up from a bad 80 action flick.

And the all over acting leaves a lot to be desired. Rachael Leigh cook look like she have no idea what her part is suppose to bring to the movie,in mostly every scene that's not one on one,she look lost,and totally clueless of why she's there

Finding a way to turn back to golden days...Air combat...Fighters...Guns...All of them attract me in first time to see this movie. I expected the director and his team knew that when they should cut off rapping and adding complexity to story. But till the mid of the movie parallel stories and artificial acts resumed. But now i don't talk about story line or Drama's problems, But i want to say how much i wondered when i saw Iranian's military. So i summarize the goofs: 1- Iran have two military forces: Army and " SEPAH". There was no sign of them in the movie. 2- Iranian's soldiers and Their acts was unreal and ridiculous. 3- Military base in Nakhjivan with Azeri peoples seems fake. 4- Cars in Tabriz City ( Iran) never have such layout and you cant find such a car that be used.

Iranian's are not Arab and until Hollywood resist to attention to it, every movie makes about Iran is unreal and goofy.

He is a terrible actor in everything. This movie is no exception. It is painful to watch him stumble through each scene as the lead character. I wonder what on Earth he does to actually get cast in films. He is not talented and only mediocrely attractive (am I the only one who sees the gross veins throbbing out of the sides of his temples and the smoker's lines in his forehead?). Don't bother, he makes this movie terrible from beginning to end.

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.

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.

Can any one give me a reason not to watch this movie not much of a storyline but the plane the missiles its looks so real its just a movie you watch when hungry and your stomach gets filled up at once. You just gotta love it. its got a great story line perfect pictures sweet punch lines as for me its a pass mark i love it and wish to view more.. I've got no problem with the movie its so awesome check it out and you wont be sorry. Nice stunts nice shootings God,its a nice start for 2014 as for me i wouldn't give it a 10 because there was to much of talking at a time but it picked up along the line and it was sweet And if you got a problem with that you just gotta have to tweet me on twitter @iamowomizz and lets sort it out.

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.

I am so sad.
