97 Minutes

Funny how this films runtime is shorter than 97minutes including credits yet moves so slow it would just fall out if the sky.

What is this movie, and if this was filmed before Baldwins issues, who does he owe? Not even Nicolas Cage would take on something this cheap for a quick buck, it's just trash filmed in an aeroplane hanger. Jonathan Rhys Meyers is certainly suffering for his sins having to take this type of low budget lead, and it's clear he's only doing it 'for the cash', it's all anyone's doing. If there was a casting director they surely need to be blacklisted, their choices were appalling.

Generic everything, poor effects, stupid twists, and the worse most intrusive score I've heard in a long time. It's a slog at 93minutes.

Don't board this one.

Pretty mediocre / bad movie in my opinion. It just throws you into it. No build up or anything. Alot of the events that happen doesnt even make sense, a watcher would question it and things are just rushed in. You dont get a feel for any of the characters so you wouldnt really care much about what happens to them really. The government immediately goes to drastic measures as soon as something went wrong?? In all its basic movie everythings really predictable so don expect much

But i can give props to the twist near the end tho.

And lastly the fact that the movie is called "97 Minutes" but it's only 93 minutes long is a bad sign lmao.

Complete waste of time with bad script, bad characters and bad execution. Feel sorry fol Bladwin and Rhyes for their downfall in such bad movies. Not to mention physics, reality and acting. Not even twist at the end can save movie.

I managed to restart watching twice just to see how bad it will end and actualy ends even worse. Even Snakes on plane and some Sharknado movies make more sense. OK, there's some action inserts but nevertheless it's wouldn't change anything in plot even without them.

I give moive 2 stars just because it is too bad to have 1 star. It's nice from time to time to watch such bad movies just to remember, how bad they can.

Short and to the point: there was so much potential that it is baffling how this movie turned out the way it did. Everything you have seen about plane movies is here, just used in the most un-creative way possible. It is a complete mess. Feels like a first year film school project. The fighting sequences look as if they were rehearsing, the plot predictable and full of cliches, even the VFX is so clean that it looks fake. It will leave you wondering about many things; especially how this mess was green lit to be made and then to be released. Frankly, Snakes on a Plane was better than this and you know how bad that was. Steer clear of this bomb of a movie.

This film barely even qualifies as a B film, more like a C film. A high school drama class can come up with a better movie. The writing had plot holes, inconsistencies and technical issues, as clearly no research went into any elements of this film - from flying/landing a plane, cabin pressure, mid-air debris explosions, security, etc. Even the dialogue was infantile dramatics and boring nonsense filler for the most part. Writer, producer and actor in this film Pavan Grover apparently is a doctor in real life, yet in the film when the pilot gets shot, his medical training inclination was to put a red tube in one nostril (hardly any first aid kit in the world would have this apparatus in it) and patch him up, so I question his skills as a doctor to be about as good as his writing, which clearly is terrible. The directing was just as bad, and the fight scenes were the worst and laughable choreography I have ever seen. The CGI, especially the flashback bombing explosion was laughable.
