Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Leofwine_draca HIJACK'D is a cheap and cheerful TV movie detailing a plane which is hijacked by a computer geek. A renegade pilot is the only guy who has the power to fight back against this mastermind, so the race is on to save the day and the passengers. And if that high drama wasn't enough, a girl has been bitten by a poisonous spider so it's a race against time to save her, too. This is laughably cheesy entertainment, with wooden cast members whose performances range between boredom and overacting. I was amused to see Francoise Yip, the femme fatale of Hong Kong cinema, in a supporting role, but this is nothing to get excited about.

movieman_kev Something about a computer hacker hijacking the first self-driven plane is what you'll get in this instantly forgettable made-for-TV cut-rate thriller. Not awful enough to outright detest, bu not nearly competent enough to get invested in the film. I guess the most one can say for I is that it is wahat it is. Nothing special to see more. Good fodder for having something as background noise while you do something else. Not the type of film that you'll miss any huge plot points if you choose to only pay fleeting attention to. The most noteworthy thing is that it took 5 writers to come up with this tripe.Eye Candy: Rachel Hayward gets topless

aloep If I ever met Craig Sheffer, one of the first things I'd ask him would be why after the clichéd but admittedly hilarious mess that was Turbulence 2: Fear Of Flying did he go on to star in not one, but three other straight to video flicks with very similar scripts and similarly limp production values. Make no mistake, Fear Of Flying and Heavy Metal are both terrible movies but are so clichéd, cheap and poorly acted that they are hilarious to watch, and this is just as bad the others, which equals just as amusing.Having saved the world from an anthrax bomb in Fear Of Flying, saved the world from being taken over by evil in Heavy Metal, big Craig now has the responsibility of stopping a hacker from control of the world's first automated jetliner is the! Yeah, as if! The plot itself is the source of major hilarity. The overall look of the movie has that whole Canadian B-movie feel. No stock footage is used this time around, instead we have a phony CGI plane which crashes with very cheap and unconvincing special effects.But it's with the characters where it really gets amusing. First up is Sheffer's character, who is fired for saying he flies better when drunk. Like in Fear Of Flying, he's clearly phoning his performance and doesn't do much other than read his lines. It really makes me wonder why he decided to take the lead in four extremely similar B-movies. John Piper Ferguson appears to be in a different film, and appears to be enjoying every minute of his ridiculous character, which is a stereotypical "computer geek". He's dressed in drab clothes and sporting greasy hair and glasses, and his best friend is a rare Australian spider! The writers also seem confused as to whether this character is an evil psychopathic menace, or a pathetic character who we're supposed be sympathetic to. He befriends a little girl who lives in the same block, which appears to be an attempt to humanise the character. The way he handles the character itself is pretty hilarious. Not for one second taking it seriously, he jumps around the room and hams it up to the max. His character is great fun to watch but not exactly in the way I believe the filmmakers intended it to be. He's clearly just poking fun at the ridiculous character and seems bemused to have this on his CV. The movie itself is also incredibly poorly pieced together. It feels like they made it as they went on, culminating in an ending so ridiculous that I can't even begin to describe it. I won't spoil it for you but I laughed a LOT when I saw what finally lead them to the "hacker". It involves the pet spider and an extremely lucky coincidental turn of events.Overall, this is rubbish and only one member of the cast seems to be aware of that, but it's at least funny rubbish. As a thriller it fails abysmally but as a comedy, it's a great laugh. If you found Turbulence 2: Fear Of Flying, Turbulence 3: Heavy Metal or Flying Virus to be entertainingly bad, then I recommend you also see this.

MovieDude-4 This is a semi-spoiler in that you need to know a little of the plot to follow the comments.Since this is an airplane disaster movie, the one thing in its favor is that you will never be forced to watch it on a plane. It truly has little to offer. Basically, this is the preposterous story of a fully automated plane that is hacked into by a former software designer for it as a means of revenge. By the way, it's also an opportunity to offend Australians. For what it's worth, no plane will ever be so automated that it takes a laptop to revert to manual control, or that loses all hydraulic power when the computers go down. Also, despite Star Trek, computers don't blow out sparks and smoke when mis-programmed.Watch "Fate is the Hunter", or any of a number of good airplane movies. This is not one of them.
