7.0 New York Times | Dana Stevens

As Captain Stratton attends briefing sessions with his colleagues or admires the dedication of the aviation mechanics on the ground, you may find yourself squirming in your seat as you long once more for the heart-stopping yet liberating thrill of flight.

6.0 DVD Talk | Matt Langdon

Fighter Pilot - Operation Red Flag is a good educational IMAX film about the ultimate fighter pilot training exercise. While it is not as compelling as the actual flying it is worth a look for those interested in the subject.

4.0 Film Threat | Elias Savada

There are plenty of mock gunfire and hot explosions that will undoubtedly elicit yahoos from some top gun video game enthusiasts. It's a fine military recruitment film. Don't go expecting much in dramatic value

4.0 Variety | Robert Koehler
