Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
... View MoreI wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
... View MoreAt first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
... View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
... View More"Dan" (Richard Tyson) is a pilot who is trying to make ends meet after he was unfairly blamed for an airplane crash that killed his best friend. Much to his surprise the man who blamed him for the accident "Tony Williams" (Cliff De Young) comes to him and asks him to fly to Columbia and rescue his daughter, "Dr. Anne Williams" (Bobbie Phillips) from some narco-terrorists who have taken over the village where she works as a missionary. He agrees only because she was his girlfriend prior to the accident which caused both of them to go their separate ways. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this was a good Christian movie which can be enjoyed by the entire family. Although it isn't an action-packed thriller by any means it has elements of action, humor, romance and a heart-lifting message which compensate for it to a certain degree. In any case, I rate this movie as slightly above average.
... View MoreThe movie tells the story of a bad-boy pilot living a life of shame and regret after a crash killed his best friend several years before and caused a breakup with his (presumably) girlfriend. He is in the "repo" business, repossessing aircraft from people who haven't paid up. The father of his ex-girlfriend comes by to ask him to fly down to Colombia and rescue her. She is a missionary-doctor in a remote village threatened by rebel guerrillas. He refuses at first, but after a walk on the beach he decides that he really is in love with her and heads off to rescue her.Along the way to the remote village in Colombia, our bad-boy pilot comes across a very devout, missionary-doctor who finagles a ride with the pilot out to the remote village. It's at this point that the movie's agenda becomes very clear. This is not just a movie trying to tell a story about some missionaries, some villagers, and a pilot and their valiant struggle against rebel forces (ala Tears of the Sun). Instead it quickly turns into Christian propaganda bent at convincing the viewer of Christ's love.The filmmakers could have made a movie and let the character's actions speak for themselves, but instead made a film that will alienate everyone who isn't already a "believer" with its overt, cult-like presentation. The movie is something that will undoubtedly be appreciated by Christian families and youth groups everywhere as an alternative to the rest of Hollywood movies that they will typically find so threatening. People who maintain the illusion that this movie will somehow show people the error of their ways and convince them to enter into a lifelong relationship with Jesus are only demonstrating just how ignorant they are.I give this movie 6 stars because it has a good storyline, but it is weighed down by unnecessary scenes and dialog that detract from the story and only serve to draw things out needlessly. Having grown up as a missionary kid in Colombia, I have seen many movies like this. Last Flight Out definitely sets itself apart with the unusually high production values that show just how the Christian movie community is advancing. However, anyone who pretends this is a good movie by any worldwide standard is simply lying to himself. And everyone knows Jesus doesn't like lying.The movie is unrated not because of any outlandish content, but presumably because it was not shown in theatres and is probably sold mostly in Christian bookstores which would make obtaining an MPAA rating an unnecessary expense.
... View MoreYou will love this movie and understand how great gods love is its a must see for your everlasting life (watch the end its in a bible verse!)It helped me in my Christian life and it also was just a great movie with lots of love pain sadness and joy if that makes sense!i have to make this 10 lines to be posted so the rest of this will be very boring!it was a very fun and exiting adventure packed film I'm surprised that Hollywood allowed it with their anti Christian view. I don't get why they the passion of the Christ play but I'm glad that they did because it rocked!I don't know why it was not rated its not like it had cursing or violence in it just a little blood and explosions.oh well thats all I have to say c'yah computer people!
... View MoreExcellent family movie but it's so much more than that. This movie was put out by the Billy Graham ministry so there is definitely a message for viewers. If you are looking for something like great special effects you might be disappointed, but don't let that get in the way of what this story is really about. If you are searching spiritually then you must see this movie. If you are comfortable in the fact that you are a good person because you go to church then you REALLY must see this movie. This is one of the best and clearest presentations of the gospel you will ever see or hear.This is the simple, unvarnished gospel message found in the Bible and it will speak to your heart.
