3.0 out of 5 stars Supurbly filmed aviation moments, April 7 2010
By 
This review is from: Les Chevaliers Du Ciel (DVD)
It has perhaps the best filmed flight scenes I have seen. Based on only that, I would give it 5 Stars easily.

Many scenes from the film have been cobbled together and shown at patrick's aviation dot com, from where I first became wowed by the sequences and then bought the DVD. The editing of these sequences is first rate, and the creative behind it is down right masterful. The Special Features is a must see where there is a 'making of' (French with subtitles) as well as a short that uses a beautiful instrumental piece behind longer shots used to create the film, but made in a more artistic approach that is just about flight. Really fantastic.

It has a straight forward but interesting plot with some twists, and the European angle and scenics shot over the Mediterranean and Morrocco made it much more fresh than the typical Hollywood jet pilot hero stuff. I would have edited the 'officers party' scene, the film didn't really need that tangent.

And that Mirage 2000 is one sexy fighter!

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, French fighter film, Nov 14 2006
By SuperSchtroumpf - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Les Chevaliers Du Ciel (DVD)
This is an atypical French film. It has a decent budget, a story, and action. If you are looking for an artsy French indy film, this isn't it.

The story is a bit complicated, but basically involves a plot to steal Mirage 2000's to assassinate President Chirac. It is based on a Mirage 2000 squadron who do the usual fighter pilot stuff - training, exercises, bar arguments, romances, etc. One woman plays the role of an American pilot. In the search for missing planes, some of the pilots go to Africa where more of the dastardly assassination-terrorist plot is revealed.

Aside from the wandering storyline, the cinematography is great. France doesn't make a lot of this movie genre - modern military - because of its uneasy civil-military relationship (ie. many lost wars). However, this film manages to show the pilots, planes, and country in a good light. There are extensive flying sequences in the Alps (arguably much prettier than the California desert as seen in Top Gun) as well as in Provence. There was an especially nice scene, though brief, of the Callanques de Cassis (a favorite place of mine). If anything, I would have liked to see more of the French countryside. Towards the end of the film the action moves to the 14 July national parade.

I have seen this parade in person, and it is fantastic. It includes a flyover of almost every type of French aircraft, totally at least 100 fixed and rotary wing aircraft. This film has some nice scenes of the parade, on the ground and above, as well as some nice shots of Paris from above.

Finally, I didn't notice any obvious anti-Americanism. Indeed, the French are generally quite envious of the US military (money, equipment, etc.). Though their rations seem a bit better than our MRE's.

This was a fun film, however without subtitles or dubbing you will probably need to know French to understand it.
