Just perfect...
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
I am a pilot, and am very familiar with commercial aircraft, but the scenes in this movie contain several different aircraft, until they finally choose a poor computer generation of a Boeing 767-200ER for Inter-Americas flight 209. However the cabin and flight deck are right for the aircraft unlike many movies today. I love the cabin attendants, the best service I have ever seen. Just watch and you'll see why Michelle has to be one of the best flight attendants. The story it's self is very predictable, and the acting for some of the characters is subservient. But overall it is a good movie to sit and veg with on a Friday night, how ever I don't like the fact that it doesn't make you think, other than how unrealistic this is. Also a passenger who has no flying experience, could not ever under any circumstances land a 767 on a field. The aircraft comes in for a landing at 160-180mph, and handles like a bus, so the ending is unrealistic. However it is true that that aircraft can make a landing on a field, it has happened, but only with an experienced crew.
No one takes this thing to seriously and that helps a lot. The story is paper thin, but it proceeds fast enough. The airplane stuff is hilarious and Craig Sheffer seems to be well in to the spirit of things. He's no Brando, but he plays this stuff in an acceptable manner. The charms of Ms. Anwar have always eluded me, but she's as good as most this time out. Rutger Hauer's on board too and that pains me. This guy is to good to be making this much crap. Flying Virus is a stupid title but genre fans will stick with this movie.A popcorn film. Make that a butter-free popcorn film.
Despite the nearly overwhelming subplot and a flubbed line that was not reshot,I genuinely enjoyed this low-budget stingfest. The CGI bees were a hell of a lot better than those in that made-for-cable travesty Deadly Swarm and the attacks were effectively staged. This coupled with the exuberantly over-the-top characterizations will guarantee this film cult status in about 20 years.
Excellent Movie! I like this kind of "Congo" Movies Virus and stuff! If you like "virus" movies... airplane disaster movies and so... see it... you wont regret it.. i gave it 8/10
