China is making much-better-than-before military films.
Wolf warriors and Operation Mekong are both examples. But this Sky Hunter is a different one, for it focused on the Air Force. Personally, I'm a huge fan of films and games like Top Gun, Ace Combat and Tom Clancy's HAWX.
Sadly, it's been literally more than 10 years without a serious fighter jet film made, and the latest one I can remember was the French film, Les chevaliers Du Ciel, in 2005. This new film from China has fulfilled all my fantasies of the Air Force. It shows many new fighter jets like J-20 as well as cool maneuvers such as dogfights and missile evasion, and the CGI is great. Many breathtaking scenes can be seen in it, such as the final battle scene with a J-10 against a Mirage 2000. It reminded me of the last mission of Ace Combat Zero, in which Cipher was against Solo Wing Pixy. To me, the biggest surprise was Hans Zimmer being in charge of the soundtrack! I never expected him to show up in a Chinese film, OMG! If you are a fan of Ace Combat or HAWX, make sure you don't miss this one!
While this film is great, I sincerely hope that America will make another masterpiece like Top Gun. After all, although they have J-20s and J-31s, we have F-22s and F-35s!
