    One of the worst movies I have ever watched

    This is one of the worst movies I have ever watched, probably the worst. A horrible cocktail containing a childish scenario, bad production, bad directing, worse acting, and even worse special effects. I would give it 2 stars if it was a home made movie, maybe 3 if it was x-rated. It should be kept in a film museum somewhere as the ultimate bad example of an action movie. It should also be taught in film schools as list of what not to do. I would love to elaborate on specific aspects of the plot, the directing or the acting, however I feel that someone has released this movie as a prank, to observe how many people will take it seriously and won't understand the joke. It is a torture to watch from beginning to end, and the only reason one would make it to the end titles would be perverse curiosity.

    Horrible

    This movie is completely horrible. The story is really bad. Movies with airplanes are not new, and this movie do not bring anything new or special. All the same, with bad actors and bad production. It is far from be realistic. Somethings is very annoying and makes no sense. Any person with sense about physics and sense knows that these things no make sense. This is not a fiction movie, so should not bring these kind of things. The special effects are terrible! I guess Star Wars in 1970 has better special effects than showed on this movie. Explosions, smokes, atmosphere, etc are completely ridiculous. I waist my money/time watching it.

    Amazing and Interesting

    Amazing waste of time, and interesting that I watch the whole video. If you'd like to watch something that is silly and almost pulp fictional, you might finish it also. There are way too many goofs, and ridiculously unbelievable instances. It would take a book to list them all. The dialog was sophomoric, and the acting was on par with a high school drama department with a video camera and a little imagination. The plausibility of a DC-9's wing smashing into the sides of a buildings, and continuing to fly, is somewhat hard to accept. Also, an out of control computer firing lasers down the hallways of Air Force One, takes more imagination than most average viewers are willing to give. We are expected to overlook a great deal, and use great imagination on the rest. The commercial pilot is one of the most believable characters with respect to his lines and his deliverance of them throughout the video, and he isn't too bad to look at, either. Even if they were all excellent actors, they didn't have much to work with in the way of script. The video could've explained in more detail what caused the catastrophe to begin, why everything suddenly started dropping out of orbit, most often making direct contact with populated, yet indiscriminate targets. We can guess what was, and wasn't going to happen, when a commercial flight is headed directly for Air Force One. but you'll have to watch the video to know for sure. The question is, will the video hold your interest that long. I stuck it out, even though it was predictable, but many won't.

    Requires a stratospheric dose of suspended belief

    An American thriller; A story about a small passenger plane on a collision course with an airliner. This action film in the disaster subgenre has for the most part a stream-of-consciousness style of storytelling. We are given to believe that a new satellite radar system has been activated to control airborne aircraft elevation and flight path in the skies, and while system override failure is not entirely inconceivable no explanation is given to the cause of it all, details like how radar is affected or how space objects don't burn up on re-entry. The director spends no time with build up, backstory or character building - it leaps into the action with low grade special effects. While the carefree editing gives it a carefree, throwaway fantasy feel, unsurprisingly tension never dwells in any of the sequences. Nevertheless, Jordan Ladd has fun with her role and Reginald VelJohnson's presence is an asset.

    Let's do CPR on an awake patient!

    I laughed so hard when the man in the plane was having a medical emergency and the guy started cpr on home while he's still awake and breathing. I think by doing that he killed him. I'm pretty sure also if they got the pads to stick they would've defibrillated him while he was awake too lmaooo. Don't they hire people to review what to do in a emergency at least common stuff like wait until the patient looks dead and isn't still talking to begin cpr? That was the silliest part to me. Other than that the movie was watchable.
