Awesome Movie
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Airline Disaster is simply not a movie due to the lack of any of the basic elements needed to make a movie. The previous reviews indicated how awful the actors on both the good and evil side. However, the crisis team is very annoying to the extent that I was not sympathizing with any of them neither the hijacking group who are bloody but not in an entertaining way. The movie is full of goofs from the first second till the end. The graphics work is horrible, not helpful and irritating to the audience. The FBI team is really weird and does not look like it belongs to any security service on earth. I advise you not to watch it unless it is for the sake of laughing....
I love really bad movies that try to be serious, and this is one. Lots of great stuff. Airplane is tough - to an extent. It can break through buildings and other solid objects with no structural damage, but blow a cargo door off and it looses an engine. How many planes could plow through the Washington Monument and still fly with no wing damage. Survived numerous gunshots at pressurized altitudes and not a single fuselage rupture to decompress the cabin.Airplane can float quite well, even with a blown cargo door that is under water. Once the plane landed, it never sunk lower while all the passengers casually walked to the door and evacuated - even when they had time to assemble on the shore for the finale. President is a lesbian. Aid says something like: "Mr. President, the First Lady is safe". And the president is a woman - or at least someone in drag. Sky martial is totally incompetent. He stood up and had a clear shot at a skyjacker, but totally missed him - where was he on the target range.Secret Service agent is totally incompetent. She had several opportunities in the cargo hold to kill the bad guys, but blew them. But you gotta admire her tailored Kevlar vest - it fits quite well. Had a chance to kill a bad guy after the stewardess got blown away.Could have just blown away the premier bad guy before he could blow the cargo door, but had to holler "Hey Princess" to give him time.Great hiding skills. Hide the briefcase under another bag. With all the time in the world, why not put it inside another bag, or at least, take the bonds out and hide them.But the VERY BEST part is at the last of the movie. They lane is down and in the last couple minutes of the movie, you see two shots with the Washington Monument in the background - one with the complete monument, and one with the top part of the monument missing.
Too bad... Nothing in the movie seems real. The special effects are perhaps made up on an old home computer :) I cannot imagine how people invest money on such a crap... A total waste of time to watch it ( I even couldn't resist to push my FF button on many scenes ). Actors of the movie tried their best I presume. But without a proper story, what can be done ? I've watched many low budget films in my life, and according to my experience, an action movie without proper sources never makes it. But for all movie enthusiasts, especially for all special effect fans, I advise to watch it carefully. "This is how special effects must not be." and that's a lesson.
This is a truly astonishing movie. It is the contemporary equivalent of an Ed Wood film. I have to echo every IMDb reviewer who asked how it was possible that this monumentally dreadful movie was released. The producers and director simply do not know how to put together a competently executed scene. The low budget explains only part of what was abominable about this film: the cheesy, skimpy sets and the cheap props. But there are embarrassments in this movie that can only be laid at the doorstep of ineptitude. When the airplane is met with turbulence, the plane of course rocks - we've seen this in many films. But here it looks exactly like a bunch of seated extras leaning to the right, then to the left, then to the right.... There is no credibility to anything about Airline Disaster. Meredith Baxter is conspicuous as the only competent actor in the film. Very few actors, including well known performers, can afford to turn down a role - you more often than not take the roles you are offered and do your best with them. Baxter must have been mortified performing in this movie. Full disclosure: I watched only about 25 minutes of this junk. It should be possible to give a zero rating to a movie. I feel terrible guilt having gifted Airline Disaster with a 1. It's not even THAT good. Incredible...
