I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Alongside making incredibly cheap and cheesy natural disaster movies and films which rip off various Hollywood blockbusters (such as TRANSMORPHERS, their version of TRANSFORMERS), The Asylum are adept at churning out various airline disaster flicks. This is one of their most enthusiastic efforts, which is either a good or a bad thing depending on your predilection for cheese.The narrative involves an electrical storm which fries the electronics of a couple of aeroplanes (one a passenger plane, one carrying the President) and causes them to go out of control, heading on a collision course for each other. Meanwhile, the guys on the ground try to work things out, while the passengers experience all manner of turbulence and shocks.I'll say this: AIR COLLISION, despite the boring title, is an action-packed film. It's packed full of awful CGI effects of people being sucked out of planes, planes burning, planes falling apart, and general chaos. It's a fast paced movie, replete with awful acting and rubbish dialogue that'll make your ears bleed. The story is chock-full of goofs and inanity and the only familiar face you'll see is that of Reginald VelJohnson, he of DIE HARD fame, sadly reduced to appearing in such nonsense. Still, at least it's never boring, just trashy, so it's not the worst Asylum movie out there.
Awful movie in every way possible. Bad acting, bad scripting, bad logic and so many I'm tired to list them all. Most of the concepts in the movie are so nonsense that the movie makers weren't able to portray it visually and skipped to end result. CGI are so bad they resemble cartoonish. I'm not here to compare the movie to a real-life situation/logic, because nothing make sense in the movie to begin with. Please go watch something like Air Crash Investigation and not this garbage if you want to watch regarding planes and actually learn something educational. I watched this movie only because I like planes simply. With all the resources gone wasted, those movie makers should've spent it on something more productive.
It's not completely awful, because it's so unintentionally funny. Virtually every aspect of this thing is a fail: premise, acting, script, effects, continuity, everything!Thing is, others have suggested this movie is a send-up on air disaster movies... but I find that hard to believe. There is nothing here to convey the intent to mock or otherwise be humorous. Everyone is completely serious!I love the traffic jams out in the middle of nowhere, where there aren't even roads... and don't forget the exact same white Mustang convertible used in a few shots.Satellites falling like rain from the skies! Head on jetliner collisions that everyone survives! Screaming passengers! Heart attacks, epileptic death, obstinate passengers, heroism, the scientist who is the only one who sees something horrible wrong with converting civilian ATC to military control... This movie is stunningly bad. Which is why you'll probably enjoy it.
CONTAINS SPOILORS, BUT DOES IT REALLY MATTER? Passengers throw an apparent live missile out of the plane, then plugged the hole in the plane, with...luggage and the sad part is thats not even the most ridiculous thing that happened in this movie.If you don't already know, Air Force one is on a collision course with a passenger plane because somebody thought it would be a good idea to take air traffic controlling completely out of the hands of humans with no way to override the system. Of course, we were never told why satellites and whatnot begin falling from the sky, but thats OK. After watching this junk, I don't want their explanation. Anyway, I honestly don't believe this movie was serious, so I won't write a serious review, but just know that this movie was as trash as they come. You will probably laugh at how ridiculous the physics are though, which is good. Watch it on Netflix if you're really THAT bored.
