GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Lightdeossk Captivating movie !

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

dfc-7 Admittedly, I only saw about 10 minutes worth of this stinker. As a professional aviator with a fair amount of jet experience in the Lear-60, an airplane capable of flying at 51,000 feet, if just barely when the conditions are super-favorable, i.e., so light as to be nearly out of fuel, with colder than usual air temperature aloft, I can assure the casual viewer that no 747, albeit a very capable, powerful and fast airliner, is able to attain 52,000 feet, especially with 16 hours of fuel on board (so I've read in other comments)-- if a 747 is capable of such a fuel load (no operator of a 747 would put that much on to merely cross the Atlantic), notwithstanding the aerodynamic fact that its minimum and maximum speed limitations would be so close together, if not inverted, that it would be out of control, and notwithstanding that the occupants wouldn't merely be having some difficulty breathing, able to complain how they're having trouble breathing when their blood should be boiling in their dead, distended bodies at such a toxic altitude (at such height pressurization is no mere comfort-- that's why an astronaut wears a spacesuit) as the jet is depicted from exterior POV to be climbing amongst puffy clouds where there simply aren't clouds-- where there isn't enough moisture to form clouds where the temperature tends towards minus 50-60 degrees centigrade, never minding the fact that lightning strikes on airliners and other much smaller aircraft are commonplace and rarely more than reason for expensive inspection and repair to electronics and engine parts, as a pilot this movie transcended the "so-bad-it's-good" realm clear around and back into the "so-bad-it's beyond-good-and-back-into-worse-than-bad- so-bad-I-haven't-the-words-to-describe-how-truly-bad-it-really-is" realm of cinematic surreal stupidity. There's plenty more to criticize, including the inane dialog, but I haven't the time, inclination nor room to continue. Aviation is oh-so-rarely depicted with even a hint of basic research in film and television-- and this one epitomizes this apparent law of cinematic storytelling. Pity it wasn't written as an absurd comedy.

jouiskc I watched this movie the other night on Lifetime Network only because I was expecting a classically bad made for TV movie. And I was not disappointed! Nothing in the movie makes a lick of sense and every possible disaster in air cliché is employed. Some of the scenes were just mind-numbing like the finale when the plane comes in to land. Whats with all of the emergency equipment lined up directly in the line of the landing! If you are looking for a good hoot like I was, then watch this movie. If not, then don't waste two hours of your life. One casting note. The best character was Erik Estrada playing an action movie matinée idol. What a hoot.

LTSally This movie is so great! It's so far over the top that it becomes amusing. I've seen it twice together with my sister and we couldn't stop laughing. Everything goes wrong in the plane, one thing after another. And the hero who has to save them all has this incredibly dramatic face while the main actress looks as if she's seen a ghost... I really recommend this film but please don't take it seriously, it's so much better if you see the humor in it!

actress-3 I saw this movie after the Payne Stewart incident. Even though some of the special effects were fake it made me think about what the people would be feeling. It was pretty good. Of course I tuned in because of Kate Jackson and was not disappointed! She was solid as usual. I would definitely recommend it. Thumbs up!
