The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The storyline was decent but it had some rather jarring plot holes near the end. Well, not really plot holes but just plain stupid things so that a certain character can do X. The acting was OK, although I've seen better.Besides that, this movie does have the best dogfights I've ever seen in a movie (yes even better than Top Gun). The way the flying scenes are filmed is just breathtaking, and you actually feel like you're sitting in the cockpit. Major props for this.In short, if you're an airplane enthusiast be sure to check out this movie! Otherwise you're better off watching something else.

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.

Generally, the film does have a very similar feel to Top Gun. There are many noticeable similarities. However, the film overall is very much average, if not boring. I felt the flight scenes were very frustrating. The film starts with a very promising aerial combat scene. However, all the combat scenes are sped up for some reason. So, the action makes frustrating viewing, with all the combat scenes just essentially fast forwarded. The director may have felt this would emulate the pace of aerial combat, but it feels cheap. Top Gun had excellent aerial combat scenes, none of which is super sped up. Some of the flying scenes are nice, looks gorgeous, especially the start, and the shots over Paris. Just not the combat scenes.

Sky Fighters is about a pair of French pilots that stop a terrorist attack on France. Some crooked arms dealers get involved with Arab terrorists and plan to shoot a flying gas tank down over an international meeting in Paris. They try to steal one mirage plane and don't get away with it. The get another chance as an American pilot joins the team for inter-forces training and are thwarted by the same French pilots. The American is a blond terrorist that infiltrated the military and is the new face of terrorism. The acting was pretty good and the scripting/editing was fine as well. It was a little shallow with not a lot of character details. The dialog was average.
