It looks pretty real. If not it is pretty good CGI. The water deflection from the thrust seems to be appropriate. Logically I can't see how they could fit all the required controls in to keep it from going wild. You would have to be some kind of Yoga master to have that good of balance. Has anyone ever done that Wii yoga thing where you keep the red dot in a circle? Holy crap. I have never been standing up and just fallen over but that thing made me feel like I was barely qualified as bipedal. Anyway, The vertical height also didn't seem tall enough to pack turbine blades, fuel jets, fuel storage, etc. On the other hand, I can't see what benefit a guy like that would have in faking something.
