Top Gun Knock Off

This was an obvious attempt at replicating Top Gun, but without the chops. I dropped off three times, but finally made it through on the fourth attempt. I rented it for $2.99, that was a mistake.The storyline is OK, at least now I know there are test pilots out there. Acting was also OK; not great, not horrible.The part that was hard frustrating was the obvious Chinese propaganda and "us vs the world" antics. I watch movies to entertain myself, not to be brainwashed. It was rated 9.9 on Viki, the highest score I've ever seen on the app thus far. I am guessing the hero / martyr propaganda resonated with the Chinese audience.

A decent story with great action, good acting and effects!!

I saw #BorntoFly in the evening show today. The whole audience was immersed in the movie, and the whole audience laughed and cried.It was not deliberately sensational, but the true portrayal that one could see touched people's hearts.Am not Chinese but I could see Lei Yu's (played by Actor Wang Yibo) performance really ignited the indomitable spirit in the heart of audiences.. many had tissues and many whistled!! Great CGI and good storytelling!! I only wish for more time in this movie for romance :) hey the main couple look good!Overall a good action packed movie which projects the life and struggles of test pilots!

Entertaining, but still propaganda fluff

The movie is through and through a propaganda fluff piece. Intentional CCP untruths being propagated. Movie talks about china being invaded, when we all know china is the aggressor, constantly harassing Phillipines, Taiwan, Vietnam with its sweeping claims of sovereignty over the sea and the sea's estimated 11 billion barrels of untapped oil and 190 trillion cubic feet of natural gas available despite losing its case in UNCLOS. China's hostilities towards India are well known. That china purports to possess stealth technology by stealing, honeypotting, and hacking US defence systems is well known. This movie is just a diversion claiming that china developed its stealth tech indegenously when everyone knows its just stolen.
