Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Fantastic!
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
View MoreNO fact checking was done by any writers so anyone with any tech knowledge of planes and scientific knowledge of nuclear explosions will be aggravated they wasted ANY time watching this film!See jaapeelman's review too. Any person with an ounce of intelligence knows 1 engine has to work harder after the 2nd is lost b/c the lack of thrust from the failed engine!SPOILER ALERT-They can't land b/c the air is so hot outside near Chicago.Later they open the airplane door at LOW altitude and see "snow" which they realize is ash.They fly maybe 300 feet above burning land and bison in Monument Valley Utah about 400 miles south of SLC.A father calls and says get away from the contamination by staying sky-bound to save yourselves!They cut an engine off with a small hand axe/ hatchet to reduce weight to make it further to Hawaii!First off they ARE contaminated by flying in the nuclear airspace even before the door was opened at such low altitude & below explains why- From a 2009 issue of The Economist: "Typically an airline will strike a balance by using a 50:50 mixture of FRESH and recirculated air," says the magazine. "Although pilots can reduce the amount of fresh air to save fuel. Some are thought to cut it back to only 20 percent." The air circulates until eventually it is drawn into the lower fuselage, where about half of it is vented overboard-sucked out by the pressurization outflow valve. The remaining portion is remixed with a fresh supply from the engines and run through filters, and the cycle begins again.They opened the door so all the air and ash comes into the plane which again contaminates them since they saw ground nuclear explosions and flew over major cities that were hit and below explains- Fallout is the RADIOACTIVE particles that fall to earth as a result of a nuclear explosion. It consists of weapon debris, fission products, and, in the case of a ground burst, radiated soil. Much of this material falls directly back down close to ground zero within several minutes after the explosion, but some travels high into the atmosphere. This material will be dispersed over the earth during the following hours, days (and) months. A nuclear explosion occurring at or near the earth's surface can result in severe contamination by the radioactive fallout.The plane slams into the water head first but everyone gets out even though they threw out ALL the passenger seats which had all the seat belts. They would of been slammed around and the force of impact would of killed everyone except possibly the pilot and person in co-pilot seat.If you like movies with zero ounce of possibility or truth & really bad acting then watch it.
View MoreThis was the worst movie I've seen in a long time! It has all the elements you can imagine a terrible movie having, including poor writing; weak and cheesy dialogue; and embarrassingly bad acting. I dislike having to demean someone's creative vision, but it's hard for me to see this as anything but someone's hopeful pursuit of making a buck off the wave of successful apocalyptic movies of late and doing it really badly. I can only thank my lucky stars I only wasted my time and not my money watching this or I'd be be pretty angry right now.
View More20% of those who voted gave this movie 10. Surely it's time IMDb cleaned up its act and stopped this kind of nonsense."This dinner party of terror" scenario reminded me of films like Tarantino's Hateful Eight" or Hitchcock's Rope". " one 10 review boasted. In what way did this remind me of such brilliant cinema. Well it had a beginning and an end and that's it.This film is not even good enough to achieve zero.Sock puppets can act better than the cast. You could have gotten half a dozen drunks off the street and they could have produced a better performance.The plot grew more ridiculous with every scene. Scientific inaccuracies abound. A chimp on crack could come up with a better story.Take notice of the real reviews on here and avoid wasting any time on this garbage. You can easily find them they gave this less than 3.
View MoreWhat to say about this one... The acting was appalling, the script all over the place and the music just comically awful! This is one of those masterpieces of badness. This film is just plain terrible, but for some reason I was compelled to finish watching it. Not quite in the "so bad it is good" category, but not as bad as it rightly should be.It is no 2012, Speed or Deep Impact, but it is also only 80 minutes long, so the pain subsides quickly afterwards. If you enjoy cheese and can suffer this, I can think of worse movies you could watch.
