Somehow, military propaganda feels good in a place like this ❤️
KayFeb 14, 2026This year they released a 3D-postconverted and heavily streamlined (46 minutes down from 93) version of this for a one-time-only showing at a number of IMAX theaters nationwide. It was cool to see the jaw-dropping aerial photography on the giant screen again, and to spend…
Adam ForrestMay 25, 2024The Blue Angels all know how to fly, A few feet apart in the sky. Although quite the ad, It wouldn't be bad, To see a show when they fly by.

hot girls watch random documentaries just because glen powell produced them
ZoeMay 21, 2024I understand why many on Letterboxd would be wary of something that is literally military propaganda, but… My opinions on the military and the propaganda of same in the United States won’t be related here; none of that will factor into my rating. Instead, I’ll discuss…
Blair RussellJul 4, 2024I would have liked this a lot more if it was just 90 minutes of the amazing aerial footage that they shot and threw out most of the documentary bits in between which were mostly in-your-face military propaganda.

Planes go vroom vroom and that is cool, especially in IMAX. But this is a weirdly confusing and unfocused doc for what should be a pretty simple softball of a topic. Some diagrams or quick visual explanations would do wonders here! So many questions about the way…
JackBroChillMay 22, 2024Well, it's a documentary about The Blue Angels but clearly endorsed by the US military so you know it's only gonna have a positive spin. But also it's an IMAX documentary so it's just going to be a bunch of pretty pictures without any actual hard info. It took me some…
Joel HilkeMay 22, 2024The Blue Angels is really something we can all rally around in this country and feel good about our patriotism, no matter where we fall politically in all honesty. Now that I got that out of that way...this unlocks my childhood memories growing up in the PNW and always…

Great documentary! I got to see this in IMAX and it was well worth it. This film goes into depth about the team from a few years ago and what they had to go through and the current team now. The combination of history, music, and heart makes this film great! Would recommend!
Lauren Thompson likedThe Blue AngelsEpic!!! Made me and my dad want to go fly a plane. Huge respect for the Blue Angels and all the military personnel. All the maneuvers were crazy and so dangerous but they end up looking cool. Thought there was a good mix of flying jargon but also the emotional aspect.
Mcfly1202 lovedThe Blue AngelsGod I would give anything to fly in one of those jets while they maneuver. Amazing flying!!! So methodical with their timing and practice, in which they have to be. Really good doc! Only thing would have been better watching in VR.

Noah Julian likedThe Blue Angels7.0/10. Solid documentary. Pretty cool bts of what actually happens with the Blue Angels. You never see this kind of thing. But very very amazing cinematography. Probably paid for by tax dollars but still.
Jen likedThe Blue AngelsReally interesting documentary. It’s so crazy how close they get to each other and how much control they have! Also all the training they go through is wild but understandable!
Artemis lovedThe Blue Angels"I'm just glad to be here"... such a good documentary on what it's like to fly with the best of the best. Coming from a big Navy family, this was worth seeing.

Wouldve liked to see more about the history of the blue angels, their highs and lows. But the cinematography in this is immaculate!!!🛩️ I want more of this!
Jack O'Connor likedThe Blue AngelsWait a minute, this was sick!!!! Walked in o my roommate consuming this content, and I stopped to watch the rest. COOL. Inspiring. Aspirational.
Mickerdoo is "meh" onThe Blue AngelsReally impressive pilots. Just not sure why it’s really necessary as a government funded program. Also just skimmed the surface quickly.

Crowder’s documentary could have just felt like another puff piece and, in some ways, it can be. However, the movie always feels completely genuine and told from the heart.

Paul Crowder’s Imax documentary feels both more honest than most in its intentions and more effective in highlighting that organization’s excellence.

Make no mistake: the planes are the stars of this production, and as hard as the filmmakers try to reassure us that there are human stories going on as well, the precision flying and all the training and practice that allow it to exist are what everyone paid to see, and the movie never forgets it.
