This is How Movies Should Be Made

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Alongside their oddly popular movies about giant monsters battling it out, The Asylum also like to make low rent disaster movies typically involving CGI planes. AIRLINE DISASTER is such a movie but it turns out to be a copy of the likes of AIR FORCE ONE (itself a copy of DIE HARD) rather than genuine disaster movie like AIRPLANE VS VOLCANO, so that title is a bit of a misnomer.It's still terrible, however, with poor production values throughout and a script which goes nowhere. The storyline involves a gang of terrorists who hijack a passenger plane; the authorities want to bring the flight down, but a special agent hiding in the cargo hold decides to take matters into her own hands by tackling the terrorists single-handedly.AIRLINE DISASTER tries to be an adult-themed movie with a hard edge but the added-in violence and swearing just feels silly. The acting is poor across the board, and for a supposed action film this has generally bad choreography which saps enjoyment from the admittedly suspenseful scenario. It's the repetitive inserts of awful-looking CGI planes which really sink this film, though.

Sure, even as I watched this film I was aware that some of its details of how an airliner operates were unlikely, that if a satellite armed with a laser could accomplish what this movie's did there would have been no need to send Seals after Mr. Bin Laden, that when airliners chop off the summits of tall buildings and monuments with their wings those wings are unlikely to survive, that the attractive Secret Service brunette could have used her handgun much, much earlier than she did … but I also agree with Big Bwana's review. Defects and all, this is an exciting movie, sufficiently well-acted, and with special effects that worked well enough on my laptop's screen. Had its overall rating been a 4 or 5 I'd have felt no need to add another review. However, I enjoyed Airline Disaster and believe that it's being treated unfairly.

I love really bad movies that try to be serious, and this is one. Lots of great stuff. Airplane is tough - to an extent. It can break through buildings and other solid objects with no structural damage, but blow a cargo door off and it looses an engine. How many planes could plow through the Washington Monument and still fly with no wing damage. Survived numerous gunshots at pressurized altitudes and not a single fuselage rupture to decompress the cabin.Airplane can float quite well, even with a blown cargo door that is under water. Once the plane landed, it never sunk lower while all the passengers casually walked to the door and evacuated - even when they had time to assemble on the shore for the finale. President is a lesbian. Aid says something like: "Mr. President, the First Lady is safe". And the president is a woman - or at least someone in drag. Sky martial is totally incompetent. He stood up and had a clear shot at a skyjacker, but totally missed him - where was he on the target range.Secret Service agent is totally incompetent. She had several opportunities in the cargo hold to kill the bad guys, but blew them. But you gotta admire her tailored Kevlar vest - it fits quite well. Had a chance to kill a bad guy after the stewardess got blown away.Could have just blown away the premier bad guy before he could blow the cargo door, but had to holler "Hey Princess" to give him time.Great hiding skills. Hide the briefcase under another bag. With all the time in the world, why not put it inside another bag, or at least, take the bonds out and hide them.But the VERY BEST part is at the last of the movie. They lane is down and in the last couple minutes of the movie, you see two shots with the Washington Monument in the background - one with the complete monument, and one with the top part of the monument missing.

Too bad... Nothing in the movie seems real. The special effects are perhaps made up on an old home computer :) I cannot imagine how people invest money on such a crap... A total waste of time to watch it ( I even couldn't resist to push my FF button on many scenes ). Actors of the movie tried their best I presume. But without a proper story, what can be done ? I've watched many low budget films in my life, and according to my experience, an action movie without proper sources never makes it. But for all movie enthusiasts, especially for all special effect fans, I advise to watch it carefully. "This is how special effects must not be." and that's a lesson.
