While watching the first part, I was all set to give it a 2/10 or 3/10 rating. The skydiving scenes look good but there's not a whole lot else going on here. The premise of an evil skydiving formation is a bit iffy to begin with and they don't sell the menace of it very well. It just comes across as kind of silly. There is a lot of stuff that seems nonsensical and disjointed as it is happening. A lot of this makes sense in retrospect once you get to the end of the movie and the reveal. You have to sit through a lot of talky scenes and out of nowhere stuff to get there though. The eventual revelation does a pretty good job of tying it all together though and raised my score for this movie considerably. You have to watch to the very end to get that payoff though.

It started out pretty good. Cool jump scenes, an ok story. And then maybe 40 minutes into it. The entire narrative shifted from extreme athlete type movie to a nonsensical horror movie with bad makeup and a ridiculous plot. Even the acting got worse, or at least it seemed to.

It's gotten so bad that I'm writing this review with 28 minutes left in the movie playing in the background. 3 stars for scenery and jumps.

In keeping with the 600 character limit:

Skydiving was very cool but the rest of the movie not so much.

Maybe I didn't pay enough attention (some parts of the movie were quite boring) since the movie ended and I had no idea what happened and most important.. why. What were all those "flashbacks" all about and again... where they were coming from. And WHY?

Very disappointed since it started quite well.

At least 600 characters needed (WHY???!!!) so there it is again..

This movie seemed to capture the essence of dropzone life quite well.

The sound of the aircraft engines in partcular had me wishing I hadn't got old and hung up my jumpsuit.

I guess whuffos won't understand you can't communicate in freefall - it's a noisy old sport. But it doesn't detract from the movie, and helps keep the flow of the story going.

As for the "evil" characters, "why" is the best I can say. What is their motivation, what's going on there? No matter, just go with it.

The horror elements I found a bit confusing but the ending really was nasty. Confusing, but nasty.

I enjoyed it.

Whoa. This was crazy. Lots of action and plot twists. I've never been skydiving but this film makes it look easy, fun and scary at the same time. It was very cool to see the skydivers formations. I'm not sure if I can put it into words but you are definitely going on a ride with this flick. The acting was good, especially the lead female. I wanted to see more of her life when she was younger. As the movie progressed I was at the edge of my seat more than once and I love a movie that keeps me guessing. Great soundtrack and music in final scene.

I need to watch AGAIN so I can figure out the ending!
