Review by G. Beresford from Minnesota:

I just watched this movie for free on [...]. I've been an aviation junkie ever since my friend's dad took me up for a flight when I was 13. Since then I've become obsessed with flight. Top Gun was a great movie, but I knew it was just a movie. Speed and Angels is the real deal, and that fact makes it (in my opinion) better than Top Gun. There's lots of footage from the cockpit, and lots of radio chatter. You do get a sense of what the pilots are experiencing, and the way the film was edited gives you a glimpse at how quickly information comes at you.

An excellent documentary. I'm going to buy it for the special features (one disadvantage of watching it on Hulu).

Review by E. Powell from North America:

I was blown away by this film. Yes, BLOWN AWAY!

It captures everything about military aviation without being cliched, preachy, or sentimental. This is a must own.

Review by Max Nielsen from Boston, MA USA:

this documentary is the best you will ever see. For anyone who is an aviation enthusiast, member of the military, or some combination of both. This movie will motivate anyone who thinks they dont have a shot of achieving their goals. These two individuals had to overcome so much in order to achieve their life long goals of being Naval Aviators.

The cinematics are amazing, great footage, the score fits perfectly with every scene, simply unbelievable

Review by A. Stamey from MT, USA:

This is a very well done movie based on two fresh Naval Aviators. It follows them through their struggles and life of becoming a figher pilot. The movie accurately depicts pilots training and job with the US Navy. If you are ever interested in becoming a pilot or want to get a good look at what they go through, this a great movie for you. I give it 4 out of 5 stars due to it being more of a documentary rather than more of an action film.

Review by Truman from Tyler, TX:

I saw this film in Hot Springs, AK mid October '08. What an incredible piece of work. Great footage of an incredible death defying art form. Aircraft of conflict! And more importantly, an excellent video diary of the passionate human spirit. Defeat is not an option. Meagans ordeal with her inner self on the carrier is a testament to the power of determination and "Faceshot" says all one needs to know about Jay.
