Born to Fly Ratings & Reviews
The China Project
Amarsanaa Battulga
Caught between a bare-bones script, bland visuals, and bellicose nationalism, the story of China's elite test pilots is destined to crash and burn.
Cinema Crazed
Emilie Black
Born to Fly is a decently made film, something that is at almost all levels, with strong cinematography, one with a slightly predictable story, but also a film that is easy to come back to and rewatch.
Elements of Madness
Douglas Davidson
... explores a different perspective in military aviation, making for a fresh take on the fighter pilot action drama. Unfortunately, the film as a whole suffers at it follows a predictable path from its thrilling introduction to emotional end.
Film Legacy
Daniel Eagan
Propaganda devoid of suspense, humor, and credible characterizations. The luminous Zhou Dongyu wasted in a thankless role.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
Born to Fly goes down a very simplistic and generic path in this often-trite story about fighter pilots. Some of the aerial scenes look good, but when the story is on the ground, much of the dialogue and acting performances are a little cringeworthy.
Critic's Notebook
Sarah Manvel
Not just an idea of masculinity that's literally unimaginable from an American perspective. This is a willingness to demonstrate the human cost of war that American movies have not been interested in for some time.
But Why Tho?
Kate Sánchez
Despite a great performance from Wang Yibo, Born To Fly can't reach a steady altitude.
Spectrum Culture
Tanner Gordon
In spite of decent performances, it becomes depressingly obvious that Xiaoshi's film is barely interested in crafting a story as much as it is advertising one specific model of plane.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Never caught my interest.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A thrilling and exhilarating spectacle that provides a rush of pure adrenaline.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
Despite a lack of originality, if you like Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick and want to see something similar, this movie is pretty darned fun.
