| New York Daily NewsRobert DominguezAn IMAX film highlighted by exhilarating sequences of simulated aerial combat. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin CrustAn interesting overview of the unique-in-its-scope training exercise. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneJeff StricklerThe movie is something of a throwback to the early days of Imax, when the emphasis was more on awing audiences with technology that made us feel as if we actually were in the picture. |
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanThe movie's main strength is that it conveys what we might feel blasting along at 600 mph, flying under the radar, almost skimming desert rocks. |
| Hollywood Report CardRoss AnthonyThe film flies the fine line between edutainment and propaganda for the Air Force. Could have used more excitement, but still pretty interesting, and has its moments. |
| Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenFactor in the thunderous digital surround sound, and the only thing missing is the smell of jet fuel. |
| Film ThreatElias SavadaFighter Pilot is a mere snippet of entertainment, enlightening in the oversized format, but underwhelming as a thrill ride. |
| VarietyRobert KoehlerPresumably, the greatest strength of an Imax format film about flying would be placing viewers in the cockpit and immersing eyes and ears in the total flight experience. Director Stephen Low is either unable or unwilling to do this. |
| User ReviewThomas BI've seen this in IMAX and it was awsome but watching this in surround sound at home scared my 9 month old. |
| User ReviewDavid WI found it to be more exciting than most action movies. Very well done. |
