Didn't think the film was great tbh but the scenery including the car parks, fire station and cricket pitch was very impressive and was clearly shot in a lovely uk town which I would guess is in the south east. In fact I would go as far to say it looked like the best place in the world and will look into moving there soon. I particularly enjoyed the scenes in the cafe and restaurant however the lack of footage on pondtail road disappointed me. The hotel place looked alright although I would presume they don't pay their staff very well.

The cinematographer of this movie does not do it justice, I'm irritated. This is filmmaking basic, isn't it? I won't bother to look to see who it was... He should have been fired at the early ' dailies' stage... The reason for this is obvious, some scenes are lit sometimes incongruously different to the next...and they don't splice well together
Some of it is shot reasonably well... Some of it is shot amateurish.... The only reason I comment is that this could have been a much better film... Someone should tell the investors...It all comes back to the judgment of the director anyway... And...directors can't squander good opportunities, can they?...I like the Greek chick tho from StarTrek though Marina Sirtis... She should have been allowed to give herself to the job, there is personality there, rather than there be the human robot that we got...... Never listen to the suits...

In our world of capitalism in which greedy corporations seek to meet their year-on-year profit margins, collateral damage is regarded as acceptable risks. We, as the public, often pay no thought to the potential consequences and risks of placing our trust in such corporations. Indeed, the public often have no choice in some of the things that are used on a daily basis. This film deals with one of those things that is called flying.It is concerning how little regard there is for collateral damages (in this case, the health and safety of the paying customer). Especially in light of the fact that the problem is known. And yet, what can the public do to force a change in regulations when the regulations are not set up with the customer in mind. It is disturbing that there has been no move to take any form of action (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Dark_Reflection#References).The film's style and atmosphere is similar to many British-made political conspiracy thriller. It conveys a message without the need for theatrics or a melodramatic soundtrack. In this regards it is well done. My only criticism was the unnecessary introduction which served no purpose but to give a background introduction to the protagonist.There need to be more films like this that promote public awareness, and help the struggle against multi-conglomerates that rely on us to meet their profit margins and yet, place so little importance on the customer's well-being. It is exactly because they can afford (and are allowed) to do so that this issue still remains.

Surely, if you have been flying a lot over the past decade, then you have most likely smelled some gas fumes here and there, when you boarded the plane and/or while flying. This film does an excellent depiction of how large aircraft companies try to escape liability and do whatever they can to deter potential claimants that could initially destroy their business. The ugly truth is that consumers are exposed to aero toxins while breathing in cabin air. The solution at the end of the film is convincing, an air filter, (which should have been made available in the first place) is now protecting the future consumers from being exposed to aero toxins. Undeniably, this film has raised my awareness of the types of health risks that comes with flying frequently. I think it was time to shed light on such concerns as our health should come first.
