    Even for TV, this one is bad.

    This is the worst movie I have seen in the past year. I rented it on tape and could tell right away it was a for TV production. My expectations lowered, but could not get to the level of this sub-TV-standard slop. The movie was obviously a low budget effort, judging by these examples: an interisland flight in Hawaii only had 20 passengers, the plane only had a flight crew of two, the set for the 737 was a DC-10 set from another movie and only 3 Federal agents became involved in a major medical/air disaster! The number of technical errors were numerous too, such as the one hour and forty minute trans-Pacific flight time from Hawaii to California. The worst part of this movie was the performance by Daniel Baldwin, one of the Baldwin boys. It is obvious why we see less of him than his other brothers. I had a hard time figuring out what the deal was with him making a heart-shaped design with the fingers of his hands across his belly as he walked stiffly around the control room. His overacting outbursts were ridiculous too. Avoid this one. Watch one of the old Airport movies instead.

    A Contender

    This movie belongs on a "worst airplane disaster movies" of all time list. By the time we're off the runway, we are well into "Turbulence 3" territory. Sit through the full length of this, and your eyes too will bleed.

    I guess the only people who can enjoy this romp is people who have a fetishlike obsession with bad airplane movies.

    Is Penelope Ann Miller Poppy Montgomery's twin? They certainly look like twins. Maybe some strange alien experiment. And whatever happened to Daniel Baldwin's career?

    This is a baaad movie, and not in any good way. All the actors look and sound as if they're payed up members of the Canadian actor's union. The writing is terribly clichéd, and by the time William B. Davis makes an appearance as a shifty guy from "the government", you know that this was envisioned as the highlight of the movie.

    Every room looks like a very cheap set. There are really not enough passengers on this plane, and (as already has been mentioned) only 1 flight attendant? And since when does radioactive material replicate??

    This man is dead and we're in Edmonton

    This was bad, super bad even for a made-for-TV movie but I reached a point where I had to see it through. Decent enough acting from B list stars, terrible script, as in no research done or it technically doesn't make sense. Styrofoam pellets used during a scene when the cargo door randomly opens, that sort of thing.

    Follows an airplane full of passengers who are slowly succumbing to an mysterious virus on a commercial flight to Hawaii. Think a very weak version of Airport crossed with Outbreak. As an FYI this was filmed in Edmonton (as Los Angeles), nothing is filmed in Edmonton and it definitely doesn't look like L.A.

    Interesting to watch this during these Covid days though because the whole time I'm freaking out about the amount of touching going on, doctor checking each passenger in turn without gloves, no masks even when they know its a virus. Enjoyed the doctor/mortician guy (Daniel Kash) reminding me of Star Trek as he kept exclaiming, this man is dead! Kim Coates overacts, forgets to limp, carries his cane, passengers spew blood, it leaks out their eyes, CDC agents on the ground try to figure stuff out, one of the Baldwins is in it, he's terrible, Smoking Man from the X-Files shows up.

    My problem with movie planes

    I don't ask for much in an air disaster movie, but this one is pathetic. It all starts on a small plane sitting at the gate that all of a sudden is huge on the inside, so some people may not notice that. How about a flight attendant going from first class back into coach and as she passes through the curtain she's coming up

    from the back of the plane? Obviously the work of a lousy director (the flight attendant puts a pitcher of water on the cockpit floor for instance) speaking of her, why is she all by herself in a big plane like that? Someone apparently blew the budget on the fake blood dripping from the actors nostrils. Am I ranting, no not really, but if you have the ability to make a film no matter how lousy the script/story, or how bad the actors you are stuck with, at least keep the sets common with one another.

    This Belongs In The 99 Cent discount bin....

    I get Showtime for free with my cable package...and now I know why. They offer junk such as this to chose from. When I saw there was a Baldwin brother in the cast and Penelope Miller as well, I thought maybe it might be semi-decent. Well..I was so wrong about that. As I watch this..it gets worse and worse. The acting skills of most of the cast is weak and the plot line beyond ridiculous. Apparently, this is a government caused disaster..a planned one...and the unknowing passengers are basically guinea pigs for the entire thing. I can clearly see why Daniel Baldwin has never been more than a B-movie actor..he does not have much depth to his character at all. I am sure Ms. Miller wishes she had avoided accepting her role in this mess too. The set looks so fake,the blood looks fake...the expressions on the faces of the actors look fake..well..you get the idea. As I am watching this..the wise guys have just opened a hatch...and chaos has briefly ensued..but they found the stuff to save the people who have gotten sick from whatever virus was being carried on the plane. The decision to draw straws is made to decide who gets the meds to save them against the virus...cos..well..there isn't enough for everyone...of course..possibly thanks to government planning? One of the characters is a very rude guy who speaks up loudly every few minutes..and he tries to bargain with passengers by offering money to them to buy a dose of the antidote..but...OK...they are in the sky..on a doomed plane..where is he going to get the big bucks to give anyone? And the guy who is "just a coroner"...seems very knowledgeable about everything...wow..he is kind like a genius perhaps? Is he going to solve this mysterious problem and save everyone? Or is the plane going to crash into the ocean anyway like the government wants it to? ...which might be a good way to end it all and stop the horrible lines these poor saps have to keep speaking in every scene. The plot gets worse and worse. If you see this film in a video store..walk on past..unless you enjoy bad acting and flimsy plot lines...even seeing in for free seems to expensive to me.

      The reason behind the bizarre name for the movie is revealed at the very end.
    • Goofs
      The plane they are in is repeatedly called a "737", which has six seats across and a single aisle (3+3), but all interior shots show a "wide-body" type plane with two aisles and seven seats across (2+3+2). (One viewer commented that the interior shots are of a DC-10.)
