Flight of the Living Dead

I will never understand the haters of the zombie genre. Just like romantic comedy these gems are not made for everyone.

The few people who appreciate a good zombie movie will see the originality and joy in this movie. Granted it is not scary..AT ALL and it isn't nearly gory enough, but still this movie deserves its due. It took a concept that has been done to death, people locked in a confined area fighting back a zombie invasion...(Night of the Living Dead being the blueprint) and gave it a twist that I really appreciated.

Being trapped in a confined space with the Zombies, leaving you with zero room to hide and none of that long drawn out psychological mind-screw most films rely on to kill time.

I loved this movie, and if you love zombie flicks, I'm sure you will too.

I was very skeptical whether I should spend my time on watching this movie. First of all it has a very cheesy name, sounds like another cheap remake and DVD cover looks also not that good. But being a fan of zombie movies I decided to give it a try. I started watching it and first 35 minutes were just as I expected the whole movie to be, but surprisingly after first 35-40 minutes it gets much better, special effects, plot and even acting gets better, well acting gets better because all amateur actors are killed by zombies. I would say you can fast forward first 25 minutes, since nothing much happens in the beginning.

I liked this movie and would recommend it to all zombie fans :)

First off, if you like zombie flicks, you'll probably be entertained enough to give this a view. The acting is above average and the special effects are really good. Just don't expect much in the way of writing.

That's really my biggest complaint. For the budget it looks like this thing had, did they even read the script? I think they just saw "zombies on a plane" and thought that would be enough.

The movie spends a lot of time introducing practically ALL the characters on the plane, most of them unlikeable except for the crew. If those introductions would have made me care about any of the characters or, better yet, set up some great ironic deaths, it would have been worth it, but it didn't. What a missed opportunity! You want to see some of these people get theirs, but they just sort of get bit and turn into zombies too. Why do I have to know anything about them? Where's the drama? I found myself only mildly entertained and often thinking, "That's it? They could have done that way better." So many missed opportunities for both comedy and drama.

This is an unimaginative "zombies on a plane" flick. The brief scene in World War Z was better. The "zombies on a train" flick Train to Busan was WAY better. This is just okay.

If you're a zombie fan, this is worth watching, but it's not one of those gems, like Undead or Dead Meat, that you could watch again and again. Ideal for a good one-night rental.

There are tons of really awful zombie flicks out there, with stupid dialogue, bad acting, and even worse makeup and F/X. Then there are the few really awesome offerings, that just hit on all cylinders, and keep you on the edge of your seat and begging for more. This movie is neither. It's truly not a bad movie, either in the general sense, or simply as a zombie flick. In fact, it's actually kinda fun. The worst thing going for it is simply that it's virtually impossible to come up with anything new, since it's all been done before, so you can't help but make comparisons. Had most of the events we see in this movie not been seen before in some guise, this would probably be considered a keeper. But, since we have seen it all before, it's important to ask yourself one, simple question: Did I enjoy myself while watching this. And the answer is yes.

It's true that there are slightly campy moments. It's true that there are back-to-back scenes where in one someone hears a distant moan, but in the next doesn't hear gunfire from the same location. It's true that some of the dialogue is cheesy, and you feel the pain of the seasoned pro doing his best to recite them without feeling silly. Nevertheless, if you just allow yourself to sit back and be drawn-in to the story, and can sustain a little suspension of disbelief without falling back on the tried-n-true (albeit fun) habit of nitpicking every little mistake and silly bit, I really think you'll enjoy yourself, and can kill and hour-and-a-half that you may never get back, but won't mind losing. :)

Zombies on a plane! Sounds like a whole bunch of fun doesn't it? This movie had everything a perfect no-brainer (no pun intended) zombie flick should have. With the classic stereotypes such as hot bimbos and their sport jock boyfriends, a hero cop escorting a prisoner, sexy stewardesses, a black pro-athlete, a bible-clutching nun and off course the evil scientists guilty of it all, I didn't see how this could go wrong. The movie started off pretty good as the first zombies started to pop up but after a while it just got repetitive and boring. The special effects were almost as bad as most of the acting and basically the movie didn't show us anything we haven't seen a hundred times already in this genre, and since when did a zombie get neutralized by a non-head shot! All in all this was a bit entertaining but I hardly doubt I'll ever watch it again. 28 Weeks Later up next!
