Panic

I can't tell you when I have like a movie MORE that I had never heard of before I aw it tonight. I thought the plot was A+; the acting A+, and I fell in love with Josie. Kristanna Loken's acting was SO good, I NEVER once thought of anything but the plot, and how badly I wanted the two leads to get together after the mess was over. Again, a FIRST CLASS performance from all, and my next step is to get the DVD!!! My only complaint is this incredibly STUPID rule that all reviews MUST be 10 lines or more! WHY: if you can say it in 3, 4, 5 lines or even less, what is so wrong with that? Does IMDb want us to be as shallow as the clods in Hollyweird. I'm still trying to come up with another line, but I see I'm already at ten. IMDb; bag the stupid minimum!!!

This movie has EVERY cliché of every terrorism or airliner crisis movie.

However, it is not entirely unwatchable, thanks to good performances by Rowland, Loken and Smallwood (and maybe Enberg).

What IS amazingly bad, though, is the computer animations they try to pass off as live action scenes. Boy, oh boy, the CGI scenes in "The Last Starfighter", filmed in 1984, are better than these (filmed 17 years later). The feeling of cheepnis really sends shivers down your spine.

A pity, this could have been a much better movie with a little more budget and taste.

It must be a long time ago that I have seen such a bad movie. I have to say it is really hard to make a good and/or realistic movie about air disaster but this movie was such a waste of time and money. Also I think this is an unofficial way trying to get a bad reputation on Airbus. First, the cockpit look a lot like an Airbus cockpit, second you got a stick, third using computers to control rudders/elevators/aileron via "fly by wire". When I saw this movie I thought like the intention of the film was "don't fly with computerized airplanes like Airbus, use Boeing instead they have a direct connection of steering and rudders."

All I can say: Bad story, horrible acting (most of the actors), worst film trick ever...

How can a hacker control airplanes & lead them to wherever he chooses? FAA Programmer smells a rat & jumps on the flight just in time to battle the Evil Kane (Psychopath). But why??

Suffering severely from a low budget, production people behind the scenes not on the same page, time constraints, controlling studio execs, etc... It wasn't the actors fault for this films shortcomings. Also the location filming in India is very odd. A more polished script, slightly higher budget and less/different CGI work, better consulting and more research about aviation would make all the difference. The main characters seem hindered to show off their talent and acting ability. It definitely has the feeling the studio or crew called in some favors and kept everyone on a tight leash.

If there wasn't so many "cooks in the kitchen" off screen, it might have been more cohesive & accepted more positively for what it is, a straight to video airplane disaster movie. It's going to have all the cliches and similar plots. Like all disaster type movies, limited options and no budget it seems.

The actors were trying but however, the many behind the camera, not so much. Take it for the production flaws and genre it's in and watch with an open mind.

Sure there are better films and there are much worse films with big huge budgets, big names, big money CGI work, actual marketing and advertising.

For most it's a good watch at 2am, while not taking it overly serious. It's decent. A solid 6 first watch, maybe an 8 after a couple viewings if you're open minded about what it actually is and what some were trying to make it be, and using favors instead of an adequate budget.

It's not the actors fault, but "the powers that be" that hurt this movie....
