Who payed the critics

The greatest movie ever!

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Three planes have crashed and its a mystery as to how and one FFA guy thinks it's to do with computers, and he goes against orders and tries to get the next flight he thinks that will be targeted to stop. It's too late as the planes loaded and ready for takeoff and the pilots have no control over it. The FFA guy manages to get on board before it takes off in hopes of disabling the computer. There is a mad man on the ground controlling the plane and he controls everything happening, he can hear all conversations on board and even can transmit live feed to the passengers to help terrify them. Truth is the guy was badly burned in a related incident and wants revenge and not only does he want these planes to crash, this time he has it headed right towards a nuclear plant which will kill millions of innocent people on the ground. The officials send in planes to blow the plane in the sky, but the FFA guy assures them he can disable it from the plane..I have seen most of the air disaster movies and most have guys in the plane taking hostages and such, but this was my first seeing the people responsible doing it from a remote location. Its kind of like 2001 and 2010 with the computers being in charge.It wasn't completely original and it had all the expected clichés, but it was alright to watch this one time. If you like airplane disaster movies it might be worth checking out.The direction was horrible and most of the actors were bad, I thought Rowland did a good job and the bad guy Cain was okay..He looks a lot like Ozzy Osbourne with a burned face.Horrible C.G.I. and tons of flaws and factual errors made it bad, but as far as a bad b-movie goes, this wasn't too horrible. 3/10 stars.

normally,i would say i loved this movie.not for acting,although that was OK.not for the script,which was so-so.the reason i would have normally loved this movie is for the intense action,which starts from the get go and doesn't end until the final credits roll.but,the problem with this movie,and i felt it was a big problem,was the horrible CGI.it looks like they ran out of money and couldn't complete the the effects shots. a lot of the effects look lime they are in their very roughest form.since it is obvious they didn't have enough money to finish the movie,they should not have released it.i actual found the effects insulting.it seems obvious they didn't care about making a decent end product for the consumer.if it weren't for that,i would give this movie a much higher rating.my vote for Air Panic is a 3/10

It must be a long time ago that I have seen such a bad movie. I have to say it is really hard to make a good and/or realistic movie about air disaster but this movie was such a waste of time and money. Also I think this is an unofficial way trying to get a bad reputation on Airbus. First, the cockpit look a lot like an Airbus cockpit, second you got a stick, third using computers to control rudders/elevators/aileron via "fly by wire". When I saw this movie I thought like the intention of the film was "don't fly with computerized airplanes like Airbus, use Boeing instead they have a direct connection of steering and rudders."All I can say: Bad story, horrible acting (most of the actors), worst film trick ever...

A psychopath takes over autopilot system of a plane for reasons you cant begin to comprehend, a hero tries to save the day, an air hostess supports his efforts, there is a ground support also... The movie has every cliche of a hijack drama. Trust me, you don't want to see this one.
