[Movie Review] Soar Into The Sun (2012)

by Daniel Chiam




I wish can soar even higher ★★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ 4/10


Soar Into The Sun, also known as Return to Base (R2B) is a remake of the movie Red Scarf (1964). The Korean action film starring Rain (Jung Ji-Hoon) and Shin Se-Kyung as the main leads, tells the story of fighter jet pilots in the mist of facing crisis that might compromise the safety of their nation.

The movie was overall fun and entertaining to watch. Typical Korean funny moments and romance. Sadly the  plots didn't manage to soar high enough to really wow the audience with its action scenes or a remarkable story line. The movie in general was just moderate only.




I believe Rain still has the charm to lure all his fans to the cinema and watch the movie. Specially when this is Rain's last movie before he join the military service for at least 2 years! Not bad for a farewell gift to the fans.

Anyway, judging from the screenshot that I saw in their official Facebook page, I assume that there were a few scenes being deleted in the movie, no thanks to Malaysia censorship. Here are some scenes that wasn't shown in the cinema:






Tho Soar Into The Sun wasn't the best actions film made by the Korean, but with eye-candy like Rain and Shin Se-Kyung in the movie, you can't hardly wish the movie to end sooner but only for it to be better. The supporting cast was also impressive but yet I felt that they were undermined by the lack of build up for their characters.
