Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
... View MoreThere are women in the film, but none has anything you could call a personality.
... View MoreOk... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
... View MoreTrue to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
... View MoreI plan to ask my shrink why - why? - I watched this entire film (on HBO). I truly think I could've written a better script. I could have directed, edited, acted, rewritten the whole thing.What interests me is how movies like this even make it to HBO or cable? Tom Beringer, arguably the most known actor in the "film" walks (sleeps, really) through his part as the air traffic controller. The other characters are so wooden - they would have been better to have used blow-up dollies - the ones with their mouths totally open as the frightened first-time passengers.Well, enough. I'll never fly again. Or, watch doomed flight movies. This was no "Air Force One" and that at least had Harrison Ford and secret pod escape modules. Bill Clinton himself explained the AF1 was not equipped with such.I still need an answer as to why I watched this entire film. Perhaps I am mentally ill?
... View More'Turbulence' is a daft movie, but a daft movie with good special effects, Ray Liotta/Lauren Holly (which is better than it seems) and - above all - is fun to watch.'Fear of Flying' (frankly, I reckon they added the 'Turbulence 2' to avoid litigation) is a ludicrous movie, with re-used footage from 'Turbluence', Craig Sheffer - my least favorite actor who has been in TWO other air disaster movies, 'Flying Virus' and 'Cabin Pressure' - and is absolutely humdrum.This film is not "So bad it's good!", it's "So bad its awful!". For one, Craig Sheffer is not a likable hero. He's a bumbling little weenie! I think I connected better with the bloody hijacker than anyone else! The supporting cast is not even worth a mention, and it sickens me to think that they reused one scene of this movie in Jodie Foster's 'Flightplan' (who keeps writing these bloody clichéd scripts, anyway? Is it the same one guy?!?!). Heck, even 'Turbulence 3' was better than this! Yes, you heard me - 'TURBULENCE 3' is BETTER than this. Craig Sheffer should be BANNED from making movies. Locked up somewhere. He's such an AWFUL actor! And yes, I realize I'm having a whinge - but it's true! The worst part of this movie is HIM, in all his cocky, scaredy-cat 'save the world and my family' glory! I hate this movie!!!
... View MoreTurbulence 2: Fear Of Flying was on cable last night and I loved it. A passenger on a flight of people with fears of flying reveals himself as a terrorist and hijacks the plane, two of the passenger's "fears" magically disappear and they become hostages-come-action-heroes. By the way, Turbulence 2 is a sequel in name only to the 1997 clunker Turbulence.Craig Sheffer (from TV's teen drama One Tree Hill) and Jennifer Beals (remember her from Flashdance?) soon scheme against the "terrorists" (if you can call them that, they're that inept) and a few plot convolutions later, Sheffer has to land the plane himself.SPOILERS (but if you've seen any of these "plane" movies before, it isn't really a big issue...) After they land the plane with some help via radio, the movie amounts to a really weak ending, and the evil terrorist's death isn't satisfying at all. (stabbing himself with his own weapon... what the hell is that??) I think part of this movie's appeal is the great team Sheffer and Beals make. If this movie's on TV late one night, then I suggest you check it out, at least...
... View MoreThis movie is total rubbish. The only decent part of this movie is when the bloke gets chucked out of the plane. The lawyer gets chucked out! there you go i told you, in case you havent seen it. Now that you know the best part of the movie for god sake whatever you do dont go and rent this, it is woeful. O.1/10
