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.

At last, a believable post apocalyptic tale without endless CGI trying to cover up a lack of plot. Gripping and well paced, claustrophobic and tense, the performances are brilliant. It won't suit those who want endless blam blam action or schoolboy heroics. The music score greatly enhances the feel, but at times the sound has been mixed too loud for the dialogue. Would have been nice if there was some frozen Noah's Ark animals as well. Nevertheless, a great first card in the game. Congrats to all, including the editor. When I saw the really negative review I simply thought: 'this poor person is not very bright'.

AIR is a generally dull indie two-hander for two popular actors, Norman Reedus of THE WALKING DEAD fame and GLADIATOR star Djimon Hounsou. They play two engineers in a futuristic landscape (glimpsed via some disappointing CGI vistas) where toxic air has killed off most of the population. Their job consists of them doing little more than tending to various instruments, but before long their isolation and claustrophobia sees them falling out. A film like this lives or dies depending on the script, but this one offers little suspense and a whole lot of lazy character-building. Reedus and Hounsou are as good as ever; the rest is a mess.

The first feature length sojourn of Skybound, the group behind the universally successful Walking Dead comics, TV show and all subsequent run-offs, Air (featuring TWD's very own Norman Reedus) is an at first engaging and tense low budget Sci-fi that sadly descends down a rabbit hole of increasingly uninteresting and questionable scenarios.First time director Christian Cantamessa (the man who wrote the fantastic video game Red Dead Redemption) certainly hasn't given himself an easy first feature to win out on with Air's plot almost exclusive focusing on the maintenance workers of Djimon Hounsou's Cartwright and Reedus's Bauer, who like his Daryl in TWD is still in need of a long overdue haircut.Like any film that sets itself around a confined space and a confined cast, say like a Moon or Buried, Air has to fight to keep viewers' attention almost entirely through things not seen and engaging acting and while Hounsou and Reedus share some form of chemistry it's not enough to carry the film potentially ripe idea to levels that could've made Air a must see Sci-Fi yarn.The central idea that Air basis's itself around of our air supply being tarnished by a range of natural of man-made causes with humankinds last hope a group of Noah's Ark like underground facilities with pods of long term sleeping humans is an interesting one and whilst familiar in many senses does seem somewhat fresh but Cantamessa and his co-writer Chris Pasetto can't wring enough out of their limited budget supply on top notch dialogue to take the idea to fresh places.Small moments and a quality opening half make Air something more than a non-event but this is certainly a forgettable start of Skybound's foray into Hollywood movies. Cantamessa seems like a young filmmaker with some talent and it'd be great to see him go on with his efforts here while Reedus is lucky he has Daryl to fall back on and poor old Hounsou is still chasing a role of the same quality he found in Blood Diamond and In America.2 ½ long past due haircuts out of 5

This is my first review on IMDb because today I got motivated to write one. All because this movie deserves a higher grade, but got low ratings from people expecting to see Star Wars or Star Trek when they heard that this is a SCIENCE fiction movie.So before I start:1. This is not Star Trek where small midgets run around with sharp ears and shoot among themselves with green and blue laser guns. So in other words, this movie is SCIENCE fiction. Star Trek is CHILDREN's fiction. 2. Thus said, probably the poor reviews came from people who were expecting to see a Star Trek movie.3. Surprisingly great acting from a guy who came from a very shallow show like The Walking Dead. If you want to watch a bunch of pointless running around, explosions, hot chicks on bikes with laser guns killing zombies while standing on one foot and throwing fire through her ears, then don't watch this movie.4. But you liked Moon, Interstellar, Sunshine, etc you will enjoy this. This is a very intelligent, well thought SCIENCE fiction thriller movie, and we need more of these.
