disgusting, overrated, pointless

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It's interesting how small budget movie with good script and actors can be a decent thriller. Chariot sets exclusively in one spot. The ensuing human drama between characters stuck together without their consent can be fascinating. However, it plays out the premise too long and when the jig is up, there are several twists which hamper the logic.Several people wake up in a plane, not knowing how or why they are on board. Using classic mystery thriller, their personalities clash as everyone reacts to this predicament differently. There's not much in term of technical since it's a straightforward ride, so much of the burden rest on the actors, who perform admirably.Characters are quite convincing. Some might react in life-threatening manner, but they cover the bases for thriller well and the scenes play out affably. As problems start to appear, such as how long they can sustain flight or the inherent question about the motive, situation escalates with more bickering. Arguments start to get physical and this is where things become far fetch.It is later revealed that the people are there for a secret government test. However, some of them are actually killed and it's just contradicting the actual purpose of this emergency aerial ark. The men and women involved are risking their lives without insurance. While national security is definitely a serious business, they can at least switch the gun to fire blanks or doesn't use missing plane that might get shot down without proper failsafe. It won't matter to the result if they are dead from random variable that can be solved by proper communication.This is a pleasantly pretty intriguing flight but it runs out of fuel towards the end and doesn't culminate in satisfying conclusion.

Even though the premise of the movie (several strangers finding themselves in situation without knowing how they got there) is far from new in films, the movie for the most part still has a very nice ring to it. It is suspenseful, develops interestingly and has a few twists to keep your attention. Wouldn't it have been for the ending, or rather lack thereof, I would rated this movie a 6 or 7 out of 10.However... for some reason (some have suggested lack of funds) this movie suddenly just stops. No build-up to that ending, no indication at all it might end at that point and certainly nothing decently enough in the story that supports to end in this particular way. I like movies with good endings, I like movies with bad endings, I like movies with open endings, I even like movies with twist endings, but I cannot like a movie without -any- ending.Be prepared when you start watching this movie. Suddenly, the screen will go to black and on-screen text will attempt to explain why. It might be sloppy writing, or might be lack or funds. But in end, it just reduces a decent movie to a 2 out of 10.

All of you reviewers have no clue do you? First of all this is one of the best movies made for such a low budget. Most of the acting is good and it kept our interest to the end.Spoiler Alert : OK so we finished watching the movie and we ALWAYS watch thru the credits to see them to the end and the projector shuts off etc. What apparently NONE of you did was listen to the credits and when they were done rolling guess what? : What came from my theater setup was amazing! From one side to another side of the room was plane noise roaring ! And get this : A quick sound of tires hitting the ground for a normal touch down and safe landing (but was very brief!!) There you go! So next time before ranting and raving about no ending, sit thru the credits before you conclude your movie viewing time! Lesson Learned!!

Not one of the best films I have seen this year. Not terrible, just no where near the top. This is a decent movie with a unique story that could almost be believable; told really well over all with good effects, and a nice group of actors who all did a great job. I just felt lied to from the start though, and never really bought in, and I think that most people will feel the same. The writer obviously wanted to keep you wondering which thing was the truth until the end, but there is just too much of the man behind the curtain that we are shown just a bit too often for this to feel real. I did Enjoy this movie though due to the great cast, and the effects that I mentioned. No shortage of direction, and over all the production does have a real movie level to it. I recommend this movie to most people, a bit of violence, and very little in the way of language, this is just a thriller, mystery twist that you might like.
