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.
... View MoreAlthough I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
... View MoreIt’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
... View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
... View MoreThere, I did it again... After going through this phase (a few months ago) of wanting to see as many killer-bee movies as possible, its sting must have left something in my system, because last week I got me 2 other killer-bee movies... As we all know, Rutger Hauer is the man, so I just had to see this one. Basically Mr. Hauer's pretty hilarious performance of a corrupt military bad-ass/bad guy is the only thing that kept my going through this movie. He's great and has the best lines of the whole movie. Watch him kill off an entire innocent tribe. Watch him kill even an entire civilized town. Watch him say "Actually, bees are allergic to ME!" and then see him get killed by a crocodile! Extremely fun stuff, but the rest of the movie.... Well, the movie has two story-lines. One about the rain forest being destroyed for commercial profits, the other one is... uhm, well: Bees on a Plane. That's it. Oh yeah, the scene where Graig Sheffer was hanging on a rope outside a flying plane was a hoot! You've got to see it to believe it. Highly unbelievable stuff. Maybe so-bad-it's-good... And Gabrielle Anwar is kinda cute.
... View MoreThis is the worst movie I've seen in a long while. The story wasn't exciting at all, the scenes inside the plane were terribly unrealistic. Few movies I've seen with the "airplane disaster theme" had been good though.I mean Adam and the woman who helped pulling the Dr. North into the plane would be sucked out like never before had it been in real life.Fun to see all sharp turns that plane took in the air...So typical that a young computer geek with glasses would stop the missile from hitting the plane, seen that before? Oh yeah...So typical that it all had to end in a kiss..I would like to see the 767 that could manage that landing and still stand on its wheels while on the ground.The first scenes with the shooting took way too much time as well.There are B movies but this doesn't even qualify into that category.
... View MoreNo one takes this thing to seriously and that helps a lot. The story is paper thin, but it proceeds fast enough. The airplane stuff is hilarious and Craig Sheffer seems to be well in to the spirit of things. He's no Brando, but he plays this stuff in an acceptable manner. The charms of Ms. Anwar have always eluded me, but she's as good as most this time out. Rutger Hauer's on board too and that pains me. This guy is to good to be making this much crap. Flying Virus is a stupid title but genre fans will stick with this movie.A popcorn film. Make that a butter-free popcorn film.
... View MoreI will simply comment this movie like this...It started bad and become only worse and worse....among the worst rubbish I've ever seen.First you could realise who would end as a good guy and bad guy. You could predict what couples would occur You could also predict how people would die Added to this you also saw the same explosions and flight dives used in different places of the movie. The effects looked sometimes like a movie from the 70s or maybe early 80s. (with other words cheap cheap cheap) I'm specially dissapointed in Rutger Hauer to take a role like this with ridiculous lines all along the movie.
