The Age of Commercialism

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

EDIT: I write my review before the movie was done and it was an interesting story and my questions were answered once I got to the end. The story copied a real life incident and although the movie had problems, it was not bad.. Original post: My biggest problem is after two incidents of severe turbulence, a passengers death, the near death of more due to loss of cabin pressure...and the pilots just continue to their long term destination in Tokyo instead of detouring to the nearest airport. I know it is a movie but you got to have a sense of realism. Oh and not to mention they are in a 747 which carriers like 300 passengers but there seems to be only 2 flight attendants and 10 passengers in first class and a few in another section. Movie had potential though!!

The movie is about a bunch of random people experiencing supernatural terror aboard a flight headed to Tokyo .Of course the movie had some cliché jump scares some surprisingly that scared me a bit .This movie also had a few unlike able characters as is normal for most horror films .The special effects were so so at best and could have been done a lot better .The scares are similar to The Grudge and there is only one instance of somewhat graphic violence but nothing extreme .The acting was fine for what it was and they all did their best with the material they were given.The twist at the end I have seen more then once in other movies but it was still sad and surprising because I didn't see it coming .SPOILER AHEAD TURN BACK NOW IF YOU Don't WANT TO KNOW OR HAVE NOT SEEN THIS MOVIE !!!!!!!!!!!!SPOILER!!!!! The twist at the end of course is that they were all dead due to a leak in the oxygen masks which did not protect them from the gas floating around inside of the plane SPOILER!!!!!! There was also another twist that made no sense and was merely set up to give the audience one final jump scare.I'd never buy this movie and I'm glad I never saw this in theaters either but for what it was it wasn't bad and I surprisingly liked it a little bit .As my summary states this film was not bad but it wasn't great either by any means .One of the actresses also Scout Taylor Compton was virtually unrecognizable in this film .

You know, after viewing this film in its entirety last night, I couldn't help but wonder why I'd acquired it in the first place. Firstly, it's rated PG-13. Because I tend to go for the more over-the-top, horrific kinds of flicks like "A Serbian Film", "Slaughtered Vomit Dolls" and "Melanchole der Engel", I'm flabbergasted about why I got this one. It had been sitting, unwatched, in my collection for months. I'm guessing that I downloaded it by accident in my quest for something entirely different. Its acquisition, then, was a mistake.The movie had a few good bits; I won't lie. The good bits? The cast were easy on the eyes, that's for sure. Their acting skills? Meh. It is what it is - a horror film. Nothing Oscar-worthy here. Had this film been released "Sixth Sense" it would've been seen as a masterpiece despite its flaws. Consequently, this turns out to be just another "you're a ghost, so die already" movie. (That's the major spoiler, but I did check the spoiler box above). You know, any film that references William Shatner's "Twilight Zone" episode can't be all that bad. The film makers get two points for that.

If you're looking for a horror movie that will terrify you, go watch something else. In the horror department, the movie was no good. There aren't many horrifying things going on. There's no monsters nor serial killers, just a bunch of people on a plane.However, it's great if you're into plot twists and unexpected surprises. The movie starts off kinda slow, and rather generic. I almost gave up on this movie 15 minutes into it because of it's slow start. I'm glad I didn't. Little by little, the movie starts getting interesting and it starts luring you in. For me, I thought I had the movie figured out, and then I had to throw everything out of the window because I wasn't even close to what was really going on. There are many things you don't expect, which I think it's a great element to add to things. Overall, I wouldn't consider it to be a horror movie, but it's worth watching. Some of the acting could've been a lot better, but it's not the worse I've watched. You might need to watch it a second time to truly understand exactly what's going on.
