The movie is something of a throwback to the early days of Imax, when the emphasis was more on awing audiences with technology that made us feel as if we actually were in the picture.

The titular operation often yanks the film from big-screen sensation to a pedantic look at military procedures best suited to a TV documentary.

An interesting overview of the unique-in-its-scope training exercise.

Timing has not been kind to Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag, a well-made movie coming out when rah-rah militarism isn't an easy sell.
