One of the worst movies I've ever seen

The first must-see film of the year.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

A flight is headed from England to NYC with limited passengers and crew. Mark Hamill, the top billed star has a minor role as the tower chief. He is almost unrecognizable from his glory days of saving the galaxy.The group of passengers are later described as a bunch of "red flags" i.e. bad guys who should not be on a plane. We also get to see a wooden crate in the cargo section jumping around as if something is in it. The passengers disappear one by one as others go look for them. The film starts out as a decent mystery thriller as we try to figure out who is killing people and why.Once this aspect of the plot has been explained, the killer revealed, the reason for the killings, and what is in the box, the movie shifts into a fairly bad horror thriller mode, one that reminded me a bit of "Fallen" a far superior film.The acting in the film was fine. The script could have used some work. I never "felt" it, perhaps the fault of director Dominic Burns who played the part of "Bob" in the film, one of the few likable characters, something the production lacked.Could work as an inexpensive rental.

The beginning of the movie starts out decently. From the start, you sorta get a vague idea of each person on the plane. The story starts pretty quickly. Shortly after the plane takes off, the plot begins to unfold. I have to admit, the ending was almost sad, but the movie in its entirety was very pleasing. It was not slow. The characters could have been slightly more developed, but overall, I felt like I knew enough about them. I don't agree with it's 3.8 rating. I'd give it a five. It's not the greatest, but it had moments where I was a bit shocked or scared. The only thing I didn't like really was that I never felt a connection with any one character. By the end I felt for all of them who were still alive, but there was never one character that I was rooting for. There wasn't an emotional connection. Also, I feel like the mentioning of the myth that surrounds the vase should have been done earlier on so that the audience gets a better feel for whats going on. But of course, this is just my opinion.

It was obvious that when I saw the DVD of this British made scary movie, that despite the good cast of actors, it was an independent and straight to DVD release, and it was admittedly just because of the stars that I was drawn to trying it. Basically it follows the tradition of things like The Twilight Zone, it sees a winter storm approaching, but an airliner takes off despite this, and soon after take-off the passengers realise the plane has hijackers on board who have killed the pilots. The innocents try to go against the terrorists who want to use the plane as a plane, but they are not able to overpower them because of fear, unforeseen incidents happening and violence increasing between them. The airport controllers and staff find out about the problems the plane is experiencing both in the bad weather and inside, so fighter planes take off to follow the aircraft, and they prepare for the consequences of the plane going down if the snow storm worsens or the hijackers was fly it downwards. The passengers argue amongst themselves but try whatever they can to get control of the plane back or escape potential disaster, while the military and airport people on the ground argue about the situation trying to be avoided. Starring Mark Hamill as Malcolm, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' Alan Ford as Max, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade's Julian Glover as George, EastEnders' Billy Murray as Cutter, I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!'s Gemma Atkinson as Harriett, This Is England's Andrew Shim as Sam, EastEnders' Raji James as Kailash, Coronation Street's Chris Brazier as Chris and Craig Conway as Luke. Not even a good cast of recognisable faces could rescue this film from being dull and boring, the stuff on the plane was not shocking, scary or gripping, and the action on the ground was just as uninteresting, I just felt like it wasn't trying to engage and any stupid ideas were thrown in, a rubbish horror thriller. Pretty poor!

Well, "Airborne" was nothing at all what I had expected.The story is about a plane upon which a small group of travelers and flight crew is trapped while some bizarre and macabre things happen around them.Well, the storyline in itself was unique and original, which was nice for a change, but on the other hand, it was just so unrealistic, stupid and far fetched that it was beyond comprehension.First of all, why would a major commercial airline send up an airplane in a storm that grounded all flights? And there was less than twenty people in total on the flight, including the staff. It was just so implausible.The characters in the movie were fair enough, actually, though I personally didn't fully grasp the way that they were behaving in the given situation, and a lot of the things that was done were so out there that I didn't buy into it for one second. The acting was actually alright, the actors and actresses just had some really outrageous characters and dialogue to work with.Despite these faults and flaws, then "Airborne" was actually fair enough entertainment, because I stuck around throughout the entire movie, wanting to see just what would happen next. However, that being said, this is hardly a movie that I will watch a second time. The movie is not scary, nor does it really manage to work out any great thrills or suspense. It is below average in every sense, unfortunately.
