Whew... glad they issued a notice telling me the trailer starts now because I wouldn't have known it by pushing play.

Enjoyed it for what it was, despite the few details that were off.
Branaugh was terrific in his role and had me going in many scenes. Some great low key comedic lines.
When I saw the preview I rolled my eyes at a gun attack on an SR. But with the turn and the probable intercept being done by a Mig 31 Foxhound (Mach 2.8 capable) it is “slightly” possible, although improbable.
Not to mention the SR did not have flight controls for the backseater.

This movie sucks you in.

Was expecting not to like it. But got me invested in it right off the bat.

They did a good job with it overall.

That's the key. You're either in the mood for this sort of movie or you're not. It reminded me of the big blond (Waddington?)/short black woman buddy show that recently came out.

I did have to laugh at them working the gay angle into the show about the Cold War, the KGB & a daring escape. I need a bingo card for that sort of thing.

I hate when people write of a movie for some minor technical issue but I had to do it here. I love the SR-71 and couldn't get past the idea that it would get shot down by a Mig with guns. There is no shot that a SR-71 pilot would ever put themselves in that position with the speed and ceiling that plane has. The writers should have come up with something else.

I don't write them off but they can take it down a notch. I've given up on them accurately portraying firearms (outside a few exceptions like Wick) and most any scene involving diving is comical, especially anything beyond SCUBA. The latest Mission Impossible comes to mind.
