Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Blistering performances.

The movie presents us with another fighter pilot themed story, a theme that hasn't seen any good work on its regard since Top Gun. The plot served here is quite the average of competition among ace pilots mixed with their on-ground relationships. One thing that makes it's more interesting than others with the fact that this movie uses the inherent war potential between the two Koreas as its finale. But the execution can be deemed too pretentious in my opinion. It's because despite the age and technology is supportive, the plot doesn't seem to be real when it comes to all the technical things about the air combat. For instance, when Tae-hun's jet plunged into the sea after he put off the engine to evade the missile, the plane didn't pierce the water like it should. Rather it looked like it dropped from some five meters or so, bouncing it's way on the water surface. These 'uniqueness' supports the story's continuation about the characters surviving the crashes and so on. But it surely looked stupid for those for understand physics even at the least bit. The acting is a typical Korean work, just enough to have the story to roll on.

R2B is definitely a Korean attempt to combine a Korean style drama and a military style of TOP GUN. The CG is absolutely perfect, the VFX and sound FX are great as well.The first half of the movie contain mostly the Korean's dramatic scene found in most Korean movie. It could be funny, with a little-to-no excitement at all. The first half suffer greatly from too many antics from Tae-Hun, a fail attempt at love, straightforward plot which you know what will happen next, and "Rain" himself. You can't take him seriously by the time second half begin.Also, they copy the "Tower fly-by" scene from TOP-GUN.The second half contain some serious and intense action scene. The CG dogfighting in Seoul and the strike at Wonsan base is really amazing and look realistic. However it is lack of realistic detail and can be really annoying.Military expert can get really annoyed by the action scene, filled with unrealistic event. The dogfight scene break several laws of aerodynamic and thermodynamic. The missile locking system are strange too. In several events you can see the pilot shoot a ground target with air-to-air missile. Also, The director forgot that MiG-29A carry only 100 round of ammunition for the cannon. But the excitement of the battle mean that we can ignore that. The movie end with another f*cking romantic scene. Annoying already in the first half, you really can fall asleep at the end.

Weak storyline, like most aviation film much as to my disappoint this could have gotten a good 7 if the writers thought of a better script. There was too many silly lines that I wonder if this was suppose to be a manga filled humour or a live action film. The thing I found interesting though is the tensed relationship with the Americans and Koreans when dealing with missile crisis, couldn't the writers explore on that more than silly aspect of the film. Poor CGI, while it is understandable that there are parts of the film where real fighter jets cannot be used i.e. city dog fight scenes, I believe that they could have done a better job. The characters, I really don't think the Korean Air force would have allowed impulsive, childish and hot headed pilots into their ranks. And what is with them abusing the engineers. Come on its the military discipline, team work and proper conduct is a big thing there. Verdict: Disappointing, this film could have done better.

The movie was terrible. I expected much more. The planes were all CGI and not believable. I hate the planes. The script was very poor. The acting was good, but the actors and actresses talents' were wasted by poor predictable script with superficial treatment about the soul of flying. I ran my player at 4X to 10X speed to skip the plastic human relationships. Characters don't make sense to me. Pilots were treated like stupid people. Same as mechanics. No dignity for pilots and mechanics. This movie didn't do justice to them. What I want is serious piloting and commanders showing tactical thought, excellent mechanical understanding of aircraft, excellent weapons systems mix between missiles and dogfights, with clear plausible combat scenarios.
