Positive:
Neutral:
Negative:
- breathtaking and virtuosic flight scenes (without visual effects!)
- quick and clear staging
- good balance between flight scenes and interpersonal drama / despite character drama a real "male" action film
- good balance between nostalgia/homage and reinvention
- powerful images and sound
Neutral:
- politically neutral, but still military propaganda
Negative:
- a little too much egomania by Tom Cruise; the film doesn't have much else to offer besides him and the aerial spectacle.
