Amazing... please do take time to see this. I downloaded and saw and it was time... no regrets at all... nice suspense... good story line... and... everything comes together (mostly at the end)...
It is nice so please do take time out to see it... doesn't answer all the questions but does answer the right ones!!!
nice acting by all (except the pilot) but overall the concept was very well captured and kept you on the edge of the seat... i actually FF'ed some parts to get to the end quickly... yes it makes you do that...
So if you are bored and have some time for a nice movie...
.... Just relax on a comfy sofa on a nice evening and see it!

I've never taken time to write a review here on something along the lines of this type of film. I will hope that my attempts do not spoil this.
An unknown 727 flight with seven passengers on board who wake at nearly the same time. We are taken on a trip at 65,000 feet with these individuals who rather quickly expose their personality types and the view can easily see how each effects the outcome.
The Secretary of Transportation, Government Contractor, IT Expert, Master's Degree Student, Language Specialist, House-wife and a Truck Driver. Interesting, diversified group. What could they have in common?
Cole, the first to wake from his drug induced sleep, becomes the leader of the passengers and the misfit as he didn't belong to the "group". I liked his character and found him to be a believable individual and a likely leader due to his even temper and levelheadedness.
Sadly the strength of the other participants, to included the remaining three individuals, are weak, but are supported by a script that seems to be lacking depth. Confrontations are cold, unfeeling, unrealistic and even seem stiff at times.
The premise is a good one and one that I enjoyed. For a 90 minute film, it did keep me watching due to the story line and I was interested to see how it played out, although I had it nearly pegged about halfway through.
I believe it ended properly. In fact, I am happy that the director and writers decided to end the film the way it did. Had this ended any other way, I think it might have ruined what was already a not-so-great movie.
A watchable film and somewhat likable flick.

I'd recommend this movie
Overall I actually thought this was a good movie. There were two actors who I felt spoiled the movie, Anthony Montgomery (Cole), and Brina Palencia(Emily). Montgomery seemed to be thrown into that role, he seemed out of character, and his accent did sit right with me.
I think the best actress was Michelle Sherrill followed by Leslie Hippensteel. Whoever wrote this script must love calling women the b-word because it's said throughout the movie in such a context that makes the dialog appear to be coming from the screenwriter which also appears sexist in lieu of it actually developing from within character itself.

Decent enough acting and gains some initial interest in wondering what exactly is going on, but after the big reveal it becomes quite mundane.
And you do feel robbed off a proper ending as the movie ends with an endings that are open for interpretation with not much really resolved.
For that type of ending to work to movie as a whole have to have been interesting packed of substance through out, but this isn't one of those movies.
So yeah overall not terribly impressive, there are far better air-plane thrillers to watch such as NON-STOP, FLIGHTPLAN, SNAKES ON A PLANE and RED EYE for instance, heck even ALTITUDE and PANIC BUTTON was better than this.

Seven strangers wake up on board a plane, with no idea why they're there, or who their fellow passengers are, it seems as though the world below is gone as they know it, and they must work together to survive.
I honestly had no idea where this was going, or how it was going to end, I was expecting it to turn into a sort of horror, but instead it turned out to be a thriller, shocking to consider it's inspired by real life events.
I can't really understand why this film got a generally negative reaction, surely it's low budget, and some of the acting is a little questionable at times, but this film was packed with intrigue and suspense, you truly had no idea who was involved, or how it was going to end, I thought it was quite well written.
I suppose Cole was the hero of the piece, and probably the best character here, and for my money the best acting performance also.
7/10.
