Excellent, a Must See
... View MoreBlending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
... View MoreI enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
... View MoreStory: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
... View MoreI created an account on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes just to post that this is the worst movie I have ever seen! ****SPOILERS (not that you'd want to see this movie anyway)****First of all, the acting sucks! All the dialogue is TERRIBLE, and that speech near the end is unbelievable CHEESE! It was like a bad locker room pep talk!The factual correctness is NON-EXISTENT. People with diabetes don't get seizures, for one. People don't get instantly infected from a bullet and don't get MIRACULOUSLY better just by removing the bullet. Also, you couldn't cut an airplane engine off with an axe! And if you were going to try, wouldn't you at least turn the engine off first? With the fuel flowing to the engine, the plane would just EXPLODE anyway! And at the end when they wash up on the beach, none of them are even wet!I'd give this 0 stars if IMDb would let me!
... View MoreThis movie starts off with bad acting clearly apparent.My first thought was the lead actress was pretty but didn't know anything about acting. I looked her up, Scarlett Byrne, expecting this to be her first movie only to be very surprised that she is an experienced actress.Then I noticed that a few others were acting badly and thought it must just be a bad director and a small budget.Then things started to happen in the plot that made next to no sense.As it continued it became more and more absurd. It continued getting funnier and funnier as it became less and less plausible.For example: The stowaway, Morten Suurballe, says the bottles of pills that are found hidden away, nowhere near his reach, aren't hallucinogens. He needs them to stay alive. Literally 1 minute after they flush them down the toilet he is in a coma and is dead in minutes! Another example: At one point someone asks the supporting actress, Carla Pimentel, if aluminum on the skin of an airplane would protect them from the radiation fall-out of a nuclear bomb - to which she answers she doesn't know. A few scenes later she is doing a calculation with pen and paper, which includes wind speed that is somehow available from instruments that have failed, to determine how far they need to fly to escape the fall-out. :) Seriously this is hilarious and gets funnier and funnier the more you watch - right up to the end of the movie.I nominate this as one of the best Turkey Time movies of all-time.
... View MoreI love aircraft movies, but this is a first in Awfulness, the acting is very Z, the CGI may-be W, the story is plain absurd and the credibility is at ground zero, to be avoided at all cost !!
... View MoreI wrote a long review for this movie, then I deleted it and wrote this:the technical aspects of the movie, both flight related and medically related are farcical. Ludicrous and often delivered by what appears to be cardboard cut outs of over acting monotonic dummies.the pretense of the movie is just outright stupid, only made worse by the fact that the circumstances are reinforced during a cell phone conversation with one of the cardboard cut outs fathers.the technical elements regarding the aircraft are both wrong for almost every reference made, and insanely hilarious for the most part. And, by the way, delivered by yet other cardboard cut outs that clearly lacked the benefit of any technical advisors on set (probably because the $50 budget didn't stretch to it!).I normally do not slam a movie as badly as this, but I am actually ashamed that I watched it through.In short: have a labotomy prior to watching this movie, you might enjoy it then.
