Watch Sky Fighters For Free

Memorable, crazy movie

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

This movie is a masterpiece in its genre. Far better than Top Gun but less impressive than Pearl Harbor. The first asset of this movie is without any doubt the flights scenes which are truly awesome. Taken from pods attached to the real planes, it gives a feeling of realism and freedom you've never seen anywhere else. Of course, The actors are not piloting the jets: The French Air force was in charge of shooting the flight scenes alongside with Gerard Pirès, who is a real fan of aviation. So don't be surprised if the jets are the real stars of the movie: it's on purpose!The second asset is the soundtrack who really fits well the scenes. It gives a sensation of freedom and lightness during some soft scenes and are very bouncy during dogfights.Unfortunately there are some goofs too. The action side is very present, too much present and the story becomes too much weird because of that. 9/11 was still in everyone's head in 2004 (it still is today) and we were all afraid of what Al Qaeda was capable of. But Imagine that: Stealing a Mirage, using it for a terrorist strike in Paris??? Too much awkward for me!I want to clarify something: Alice Taglioni is not playing an American pilot. The other girl is American. Taglioni's character is a french pilot who was in love with Marchelli (Benoit Magimel) and joins the squadron to become an instructor in Salon De Provence (French Air Force school). So, in conclusion, visually its perfect but the scenario's writers need to improve themselves.

The ministry of Defense in France needed more applications for the military, especially the air force, so they decided to commission a film. "Here's a few million euro's and make something decent an believable."The filmmakers took the money and had a brain storm session: -we need two friends in the military! -for one of them it's his life! -the other one is funny! -girls! Not one, two but three! -table dancing in a uniform! -terrorists! -terrorist plotting! -some corruption up high! -international conflict! -traitors! -an air race! -big finale above Paris!And they ended up putting all of that in the movie, gluing it together with the worst dialogue imaginable and a story that they made up along the way. Result: not a movie but a pile of scenes, scenery and credits accompanied by some random chosen music. Even Benoit Magimel could not lift that up to a decent standard. I wonder if the ministry of defense got its money back.

The film deals about a pair braves pilots, a young studs, on the ground and in the air, the captain Antoine Walk Marchelli(Benoit Maginel) and captain Fahrenheit(Clovis Cornillac), both commanding a Mirage fighter jets. They're assigned to locate an aircraft flying behind a commercial plane. The rare aircraft shots and the Marchelli's jet spontaneously shot, saving his pal. Meanwhile the French High Command orders recruiting pilots team with his American counterparts, a women pilots, on a flight missions. However captain Antoine is accused and dismissed from the Air Force, being forced to work in commercial aviation. But they return to Air Force on a secret mission. They fly to Middle East in order to vanquish American F-14 Fighter, but they are been taken prisoners.This is a overwhelming comic-book with suspense, dogfighting with spectacular flight scenes and some commercial elements, like the catching music . Full of French jingoist ideals, dubious ethics and crack fighter pilots . The film moves like a supersonic bullet for most of its running time and the last generation Jets steal the show. Contrived beyond belief with spectacular dogfights that play like video games, but slickly calculated to please 2000s audiences. The movie follows the wake of ¨Top Gun, Iron Eagle I and sequels¨. Agreeable casting, though unknown, exception to Benoit Maginel with various success(Crimson Rivers 2, Flower of evil, Nest and Piano player) and Phippe Torreton(Captain Conan, Cursed monarchy, All starts today) as Bertrand. The motion picture is professionally directed by Gerad Pires, a director and writer with wide and long career since the 70s(Agression), until today(Riders, Taxi). Rating : Acceptable and passable, no boring , but is quite entertaining.

I have to say, that only the shots on the Mirages are worth 10 points. The shots with the Alphajet in the Alps accompanied with the music by Chris Corner, was absolutely stunning. The plot is not that good, but it works for me. Benoît Magimel who plays Captaine Antoine "Walk'n" Marchelli is really good, and seems to take the role serious. Clovis Cornillac who plays Capitaine Sébastien "Fahrenheit" Vallois is not as good as Magimel, but he is rather good. Géraldine Pailhas who plays Maelle Coste is good, but she becomes embarrassing sometimes. I think you have to being interested in airplanes, especially fighter-jets to enjoy this movie as much as i did.
