Beautiful, moving film.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

What a horrendous waste of time. This could have been a half hour Twilight Zone show, but for some reason the writer and director had to drag it out for an hour and a half. Really there were only about five minutes of worthwhile movie time. On top of that all the characters are incredibly irritating and obnoxious. This is one of those movies where you can't wait for them to die. And then the ending is so obvious and moronic it drags the movie down even further. Don't waste your time. Get a colonoscopy instead - - it will be less painful and something good will come of it. Hopefully the writer of this dreck finds useful employment as a garbage collector instead of creating garbage like this. Terrible, just terrible.

Sara's mother died piloting her small plane. New pilot Sara (Jessica Lowndes) is flying her boyfriend Bruce Parker (Landon Liboiron), her cousin Cory (Ryan Donowho), her best friend Mel (Julianna Guill) and Mel's boyfriend Sal (Jake Weary) to a Coldplay concert. A mechanical malfunction sends them climbing. It's terrifying to fix the problem but then something truly supernatural happens.This is somewhat like a Twilight Zone episode. I say this as a compliment but it also means that it's a hour-long story at best. Firstly, Sal is too annoying. It seems to be an often used trope but not one that I particularly like. It would help if one character is actually funny and likable. These are photogenic young actors playing uncompelling characters. What starts out as a tight little thriller turns into a hodgepodge of supernatural messiness. I like the confined space of the aircraft but the movie has problems.

Without going too much into detail with the actual story, the movie starts with a group of teenagers going on a weekend trip in a private plane. A (not very subtle) side story explains how two of the teens both lost one or more of their parents at a young age. A somewhat decent start. But… for the following 40 minutes everything that happens can pretty much be summarized in a few choice words: mysterious dark clouds… failing instruments… random and pointless fighting and screaming… Then the next 20 minutes can be summarized by: Evil tentacle cloud squid… Hysterical Teens fighting… And even more screaming… Then we get 10 minutes of the movie Inception (as it turns out that all the events are just the result of one of the characters imagination/nightmares). And as soon as the nightmare is over, and the cloud clears, the surviving teens nearly miss hitting another plane (which as it turns out is them-selves and parents from another reality)The movie ends by none of the parents ever dying in the first place, and hence this movie never happening.Just to be clear, I have nothing against the plot itself, it think it could be a great short-film. (20-30min) But I do have a problem with a very thin story being told over a period of 90 minutes, combined with somewhat terrible acting and even worse CGI, and then all of that being crammed into a small Piper-Aircraft for 85% of the movies duration.Long story short: if you want the story of the movie, watch the initial 20 minutes, and the final 15 minutes, and skip everything else!

While flying to a concert in a small plane, a group of friends find themselves trapped in a nightmarish scenario that slowly kills them one-by-one and try to find a way to survive before the deadly creature finishes them off.This was a pretty hard one to get a handle on as there's a large amount of flaws here. Among the biggest flaws to this one is the main premise of the film where it manages to keep showcasing some rather troubling problems here through its overall storyline. It has one long series of scenes that are basically impossible to have happen in real life, from the storm appearing out of nowhere here that's so sudden it should've been noticed immediately even with the avoidance that should've come out of it quite easily, the numerous times of them mentioning potential mechanical problems that really gets ignored and overlooked for something else to happen that really doesn't do much to quell the beyond-ridiculous stupidity that continually comes through here as there's just plain gaps in logic that comes from the senseless action the group throws out in this one. Nearly everything that occurs here makes no sense or is compounded by their flawed logic in the situation that really takes a toll on this one where it's impossible to tell the purpose behind the incidents. That's before it gets to the last ten minutes, which are so absurd it ends the film on such a sour note it's impossible to really like this one more, as these events are so troubling and stupid there's so little to like about it or the concept of what it means to the rest of the film here. The last flaw here is the big set-up in here, as initially this one started out with the utterly- annoying jerks whining and complaining about anything and everything despite the fact that these are supposed to be friends so the way they interact here makes it impossible to care for them at all, a tactic that you see in some many of these kinds of films and that merely compounds the flaws, which is a shame since there's a lot of potential for some fun to happen here. This one gets some good here in the opening stages of them inside the plane as it actually comes together somewhat here where the escalation of events and malfunctions gets pretty chilling playing out as realistically as this one does, which is about the only place that actually appears. When it gets to the repeated attacks in the cabin here as it slowly takes them out one-by-one eventually revealing the huge monstrosity following them, coupled with the situation with the ominous storm-clouds makes for some interesting things to happen. Overall, though, there's still way too many flaws against this one.Rated R: Graphic Language and Violence.
