opd652 Air Collision:Oh where do I begin? Plan Nine-ish!Urkle's Dad is the star. I guess Denzel was busy. Anyway, he's no longer a cop but is an Air Traffic Controller. A woman drives a car near a crash site and steals evidence from the scene. She calls Urkle's dad. She's wearing really blue contacts. They talk about ACAT. Somewhere along the way the President is on Air Force One with Caryn Ward.Since the commercial hasn't happened yet I went to cook noodles. Came back, ugh, it's still on.I'm wonder what grade the kid got for making this movie. I noticed the pilot seats of Air Force One for some reason say Pan Am Pilots when they show the bottom.Two Air Force start operation morning light or something like that. The Captain calls the Lieutenant "Sir" even though he's of superior rank. This is like an SNL skit. The fake airplane is the 21st century equivalent to a model on a string. Video Game US Jets engage Air Force One. The girl with the blue contacts rides around in a dirt parking lot for awhile. She then stalls a bike on purpose and falls off, impossibly disengaging the chain. Instead of simply fixing it she runs away into Southern California brush, where a billion rattlesnakes are out. She jumps a fence, needlessly trying to ruin her jacket in the process, and gets arrested by a guy with a fake black rifle. He proudly calls in his apprehension, by talking into the battery of the walkie-talkie, instead of turning it around and speaking into the microphone.An obese passenger begins to cough and other passengers position him on his back while a flight attendant uses a broken defibrillator which shocks a breathing man. They then start CPR on him, while he's still conscious. The guy doing compressions tells him to breathe, even though he clearly is, and, he dies. A woman wearing yellow make-up plays the role of the annoying passenger.Urkle's dad walks out of the FAA building that has the sign for Terminal Island LA mounted in front. Urkle's dad heroically rescues a woman removing the 3 pounds of grey painted PVC pipe from her. All she had to do was stand up. Now I see what type of movie roles you can find on Craigslist. More screaming passengers. A missile hits the plane, which makes the dead guy come to life, somehow, because now he's sitting in a seat, asleep. SPOILER ALERTIf, for any reason you are still watching this movie, I will not tell you how it ends. I sense the end of it. Okay, Caryn Ward again, I'll stay up. More bad physics. Moral and Ethical dilemmas erupt on the passenger plane. They are solved when a passenger drools toothpaste on herself.The climax. Hippie Dude is sucked from the plane. Spinning in suicidal bliss into the heavens. He must have hit a space warp of sorts because he later appears seated. After the climax we go from bad physics to suspension of disbelief suspending impossibility.This idea behind this movie wasn't bad, just everything else.

zapdude 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.

ericparent This movie has left me speechless. In only the first ten minutes, they had debris from a falling artificial satellite landing on earth (unless the satellite was the size of Texas, there'd be nothing left by the time it reached the atmosphere). The central (traffic) controller is giving takeoff clearance (?? not even the right organization/building, let alone the right controller). They had the central controller working for the FAA (lol!), according to the sign outside the tower. They had the Tracon controller working out of a tower (??, instead of a tracon building further away from the aerodrome). Etc. Etc. Etc. And that's just the first ten minutes. It gets even worse as it goes on! You'd figure that a movie who's plot completely revolves around airplanes, they could've at least hired a pilot as a tech. adviser to go over the script. Obviously the writers have no concept of aviation whatsoever, but you figure they would acknowledge that and hire a tech adv. I'm not a pilot or in the aviation industry in any way, shape, or form. However, as with most average people, I have a basic understanding of aviation.

tlckayak Reviewers 'derlowen' and 'gueststar57' are on the right track - a fun movie that is definitely a send-up of old air disaster movies. All the reviewers who wrote about its inconsistencies and errors had better be writing this same review for hundreds of other movies out there. Don't take it so seriously people! I liked seeing the Die Hard actor featured and the President actor was clearly having fun with the script. I'd like to see him play the President or a Senator on "30 Rock" or a "24"-type show! There were some other actors I recognized from movies or TV over the years and it was cool spotting them in this movie. Yes I agree, a little overdone on CGI at times, but not something that kept me from enjoying it. A good late-night viewing on DVD and a nice ending. Hey not all movies can be a "Lawrence of Arabia". This one was good escapist fun.
