Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Michael Ledo A plane's engine is on fire. The pilot opts to cut off the fuel in flight to stop the fire, however the engine doesn't restart and the plane crashes. The operator was blamed for "human error" even though the black box (never mentioned) would have exonerated the pilot. Brad Dourif plays the evil capitalist wanting to exploit the accident to promote his new CD-70 automatic pilot, based on predator drone technology. Casper Van Dien is not too sure about using the M-5 eh ah CD-70. Lets see...if I was to guess they use the CD-70, it messes up and Casper must save the day by killing giant alien bugs. And the reason why I am guessing is that it became too painful to watch the film all the way through. It was bad...real bad, as in destroy your copy, don't give it away bad.The acting and script felt like a bad movie made for TV circa 1975. Don't waste your time or money.

Markus L. Without taking anything from the plot, there is to mention, that some inaccuracies appear in this film: - In the beginning (the first plane appearing with the elderly captain) has the landing gear extended during the flight at 25.000 feet altitude. This is highly unrealistic, as the gear would not stand such a force. Normally landing gear is retracted immediately after getting airborne. - Lightning cannot affect the pilot's activity in the cockpit. The plane builds a "Faraday's Cage" meaning that lightning, when hitting the plane, gets diverted in different directions along the fuselage, causing no impact to people inside the plane. - the captains decision to shut down the burning engine in the first chapter of the film was not wrong, so it cannot been taken as an argument for an automated pilot. Having said this, the captains behavior is quite indecisive for an experienced pilot, he appears rather senile.

John Godfrey I try to be openly objective about movies, I have seen many bad movies, and some like Sharknado are so bad that they become funny, this movie is so bad that it cant even be funny. I think an average person with no theater experience and average writing skills could have done a better job with this crap-tastic excuse of a movie. There are hundreds of issues with this movie other than the lack of decent directed acting.1. The FAA would not in the foreseeable future accept an aircraft that is completely controlled by an Artificial Intelligence with no remote switch or remote manual control, and even with remote control would it be extremely unlikely to get accepted.2. Why would an aircraft a FL250 (25,000 feet above sea level) have its landing gear down and flaps set to landing configuration? THERE IS NO REASON, EVER! 3. At one point in the movie the main characters seem to easily move the throttle's forward and backward with no force what so ever, later on the "hero" has to help his wife push the throttles forward as she seems to be too weak to do so. This is not how a Boeing aircraft works, and Airbus will be like this yet with minimal force required, however this aircraft was a Boeing 747.4. Why would they use an SR-71A Blackbird which is no longer in service and has not been in service since the 1990's, when there are plenty of other aircraft that can intercept the 747 without burning hundreds of thousands of gallons of JET-A1.5. The "Air-Bridge" that was used is entirely a farce, and attempting to attach something to an aircraft at FL360 (36,000 feet) going about 480 KTAS (610 Miles Per Hour) is going to have disastrous consequences, the tube was also not even pressurized and Casper Van Dien would have died with everyone else on the plane as they opened the door; however in real life the door would not open due to safety measures placed on the door which prevent it from being opened while the aircraft is airborne.Do yourself a favor and skip this movie, save your eyes for something better like Sharknado.

troydhen The worst movie that I have seen in several years. Not interesting enough to watch to see how bad it is. Your time would be better spent knitting while listening to old Lawrence Welk broadcasts. It is unfortunate that the star of Staship Trooper had to stoop to this level. The only redeeming value was seeing an SR71 in action although it made only a limited appearance. This films budget should have been donated to the Haitian relief effort. I saw the movie on Cinemax during prime time slot. How a pay cable channel plans on staying in business with this kind of presentation in the seven pm time slot is beyond my understanding.
