This is How Movies Should Be Made

Awesome Movie

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Alongside making incredibly cheap and cheesy natural disaster movies and films which rip off various Hollywood blockbusters (such as TRANSMORPHERS, their version of TRANSFORMERS), The Asylum are adept at churning out various airline disaster flicks. This is one of their most enthusiastic efforts, which is either a good or a bad thing depending on your predilection for cheese.The narrative involves an electrical storm which fries the electronics of a couple of aeroplanes (one a passenger plane, one carrying the President) and causes them to go out of control, heading on a collision course for each other. Meanwhile, the guys on the ground try to work things out, while the passengers experience all manner of turbulence and shocks.I'll say this: AIR COLLISION, despite the boring title, is an action-packed film. It's packed full of awful CGI effects of people being sucked out of planes, planes burning, planes falling apart, and general chaos. It's a fast paced movie, replete with awful acting and rubbish dialogue that'll make your ears bleed. The story is chock-full of goofs and inanity and the only familiar face you'll see is that of Reginald VelJohnson, he of DIE HARD fame, sadly reduced to appearing in such nonsense. Still, at least it's never boring, just trashy, so it's not the worst Asylum movie out there.

Air Collision:Oh where do I begin? Plan Nine-ish!Urkle's Dad is the star. I guess Denzel was busy. Anyway, he's no longer a cop but is an Air Traffic Controller. A woman drives a car near a crash site and steals evidence from the scene. She calls Urkle's dad. She's wearing really blue contacts. They talk about ACAT. Somewhere along the way the President is on Air Force One with Caryn Ward.Since the commercial hasn't happened yet I went to cook noodles. Came back, ugh, it's still on.I'm wonder what grade the kid got for making this movie. I noticed the pilot seats of Air Force One for some reason say Pan Am Pilots when they show the bottom.Two Air Force start operation morning light or something like that. The Captain calls the Lieutenant "Sir" even though he's of superior rank. This is like an SNL skit. The fake airplane is the 21st century equivalent to a model on a string. Video Game US Jets engage Air Force One. The girl with the blue contacts rides around in a dirt parking lot for awhile. She then stalls a bike on purpose and falls off, impossibly disengaging the chain. Instead of simply fixing it she runs away into Southern California brush, where a billion rattlesnakes are out. She jumps a fence, needlessly trying to ruin her jacket in the process, and gets arrested by a guy with a fake black rifle. He proudly calls in his apprehension, by talking into the battery of the walkie-talkie, instead of turning it around and speaking into the microphone.An obese passenger begins to cough and other passengers position him on his back while a flight attendant uses a broken defibrillator which shocks a breathing man. They then start CPR on him, while he's still conscious. The guy doing compressions tells him to breathe, even though he clearly is, and, he dies. A woman wearing yellow make-up plays the role of the annoying passenger.Urkle's dad walks out of the FAA building that has the sign for Terminal Island LA mounted in front. Urkle's dad heroically rescues a woman removing the 3 pounds of grey painted PVC pipe from her. All she had to do was stand up. Now I see what type of movie roles you can find on Craigslist. More screaming passengers. A missile hits the plane, which makes the dead guy come to life, somehow, because now he's sitting in a seat, asleep. SPOILER ALERTIf, for any reason you are still watching this movie, I will not tell you how it ends. I sense the end of it. Okay, Caryn Ward again, I'll stay up. More bad physics. Moral and Ethical dilemmas erupt on the passenger plane. They are solved when a passenger drools toothpaste on herself.The climax. Hippie Dude is sucked from the plane. Spinning in suicidal bliss into the heavens. He must have hit a space warp of sorts because he later appears seated. After the climax we go from bad physics to suspension of disbelief suspending impossibility.This idea behind this movie wasn't bad, just everything else.

OK, so I didn't have high hopes for this movie, so I guess it didn't really disappoint. There were so many factual errors it was unreal. First of all, the passenger plane from the outside was a DC-9, a small narrow-bodied passenger aircraft. However, on the inside shots, it was a wide body airliner. Then when the missile hits the plane, the hole is plugged by luggage AFTER a male flight attendant was sucked out (although a guest's newspapers remained untouched on the seat beside him). Then if all that wasn't bad enough, when the two planes collide mid-air, a huge gash in the already crippled DC-9 does not affect its navigability right away. The special effects were disastrous, the acting was worse than a high school play, and the script was likely the worst I've ever seen.I could write a novel about how bad this is but really, I just want to pretend like i've never seen this monstrosity.

Reviewers 'derlowen' and 'gueststar57' are on the right track - a fun movie that is definitely a send-up of old air disaster movies. All the reviewers who wrote about its inconsistencies and errors had better be writing this same review for hundreds of other movies out there. Don't take it so seriously people! I liked seeing the Die Hard actor featured and the President actor was clearly having fun with the script. I'd like to see him play the President or a Senator on "30 Rock" or a "24"-type show! There were some other actors I recognized from movies or TV over the years and it was cool spotting them in this movie. Yes I agree, a little overdone on CGI at times, but not something that kept me from enjoying it. A good late-night viewing on DVD and a nice ending. Hey not all movies can be a "Lawrence of Arabia". This one was good escapist fun.
