I stumbled upon this on Hulu last night. It's 40 minutes of absolutely incredible, mind-blowing chase-cam flying footage on par with
One Six Right, interspersed with some extreme cheese for plot and dialog.
Flying footage: 10
Setting and location: 10
Story and dialog: 2
Hotness of female actors: 8.5-9

Half a century spent proving “it is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”
I'm sorry to say that it appears to me that SOME of that awesome flying footage is computer animation or computer assisted. Some of it is legit, but some of the airplane movements do not look natural to an experienced pilot.
Whoever directed the dialogue, acting, and non-aviation scenes needs to be beaten... severely.

I think you're mistaken. The footage is quite real, shot in the IMAX 3D format. Generally IMAX movies aren't well written, but the footage and film production is top notch, which is the whole reason for making them. Mute your sound and enjoy some incredible footage.
