Absolutely Fantastic

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

As a licensed aircraft mechanic, with over 20 years of experience working on commercial aircraft including the Boeing 727, where do I begin to point out the technical errors in this movie, but I'll take a swing at with my top 10. 1. This aircraft is designed to protect its occupants from lightning strikes. A lightning strike taking out the pilots is a ridiculous premise upon which to base an air disaster movie. 2. The controls for the autopilot are above the center console, where both pilots can reach it. Not above the captain's control column. 3. The auto pilot gets "scambled" and is guiding the aircraft into a imminent crash into the airport. The autopilot is electronic and must have power to function; if you want to disengage it, pull the circuit breaker that's readily available in the flight deck. Pull the breaker and there's no more power for the system that is guiding it into the ground. 4. The Boeing 727 has 3 engines, there were only 2 thrust control levers in the movie's flight deck. 5. Air traffic controller (ATC) was left to give instruction and technical details about the aircraft, no pilot or technical personnel were brought in to help. 6. Air-to-air fueling boom was manipulated sideways, not possible. Cannot even maneuver in horizontal direction from the aircraft and it would have been torn loose long before fill extension. 7. Nose wheel well pressure panel, through which 3 persons were evacuated, only had 4 screws in it. such a panel would require at least 20 screws and is much smalller than was shown. 8. ATC said the autopilot was in the back of the aircraft. Auto pilot computer is in the E & E bay, located behind the nose wheel well, which is exactly where the pressure panel they removed would have lead. (oh, since I am anready in the wheel well, I might as well remove the autopilot computer to prevent us from crashing into the airport.) 9. Only 1 pilot was flying the tanker, there are 2 pilots. (Gee, one of those pilots could have been transfered to the B727 to land it.) 10. Any ATC would have known that the readios on an aicraft used for voice communications is called a communications radio or comm radio for short, not a communicator (or was this really a Star Trek episode).

I watched this film last night and I got to say...What a fricken bad film. This is probably the worst and most boring film ever! I fell asleep 10 minutes into it, and woke up at the very end of it. I saw this film again today and I actually watched the whole thing in disbelief, what a shitty film. What demented people would waste money and effort on a film such as "Airspeed" and actually put it into theaters? I've seen films with the same exact story line and I had a much better time watching it. Steven Seagal's "Attack Force" is better than this, and that is a bad film. Stay far away from this film unless you like "Joe Mantegna", but even he couldn't save this. 1/10 stars.~~Jimmy

my first Elisha Cuthbert film and i loved it i rememberer seeing it when i was little and i i was all i wish i was like her...i love this movie despite the haters who gave it a 1 rating...whatever...i had forgotten about it until i saw a replay of the movie on cable...i was all I've seen this before and isn't that Elisha cuthbert!!!!!!!!!!every time its on i feel i have to watch it.its a great movie but you'd probably have to be a certain age range to appreciate it..like the pervy old men probably wouldn't like this film because she's so young and there's like no "HOT" scenes but if ur a teen-parent or even like a lil kid you'd like it..but thats just my stupid opinion

I was round at my mate's house earlier, and he insisted on watching this DVD which he BOUGHT. Yes, I did say bought. I have never seen such a load of crap in my entire life. I would rather watch paint dry than watch this movie. We were clearing out his garage - these are some other videos he has - STARS IN THEIR EYES SPECIAL and a CHRISTMAS EASTENDERS TAPE from 10 years ago. This is worse than the time he made a shitty track on Dance ejay (to which one of my other friends commented: "A sixty-year old could DJ better than you".)STEAR CLEAR OF THIS MOVIE!!!!!
