Michael Ledo Five young adults charter an airplane for a getaway weekend. Sara pilots the plane which includes one other woman and three boys with testosterone problems who vie for her attention by putting each other down. The movie consists of a lot of blue hue scenes and facial close-ups. The "monster" in the movie was apparently created by the Pastafarians who wanted to introduce their god, the "Flying Spaghetti Monster." The characters were bad and unlikable. Most of the movie consists of bickering among the people in the airplane. While the five of them are in the plane, they ascend into storm clouds and are unable to escape the clouds which are the domain of the multi-tentacle monster you see on the cover. I thought the ending of the movie made the movie Twilight Zone-like, however the poor execution of the plot leading up to it, the inability to use the twist cleverly in the story, and the otherwise lousy scenes made the movie a stinker. It would have made a good 30 minute Creep Show episode. If facial close-ups of Jessica Lowndes is what turns you on, then by all means get this movie. (Worse than "Frozen"!) The movie is rated R for language (rare f-bomb) and a "sexual gesture." That sexual gesture is one of the males pretending to be self-stroking a long shaft, which makes a statement about this movie

FountainPen A bunch of stoopid unappealing young kids up in a flimsy airplane, where they do not belong. One idiot even brought his cheap guitar along in the tiny plane -- can you imagine! The girl flying the plane seems to have a nasal/breathing problem, as her mouth is constantly open;maybe she thinks that's sexy. Nope, it sure ain't! All of these kids need some serious acting lessons, and even then I'd give them only a 5%chance of making it at best. Dreadful film with nothing to recommend it. Do something else instead of wasting time on this. Sleeping would be better!! WHO are the people financing such garbage? Do they really think they have a successful movie on their hands? Or perhaps the flick has cost them only a pittance to make, so no big risk?

James Wood 90210 star Jessica Lowndes takes off onto to the big screen in this very effective and atmospheric supernatural thriller that takes place entirely on-board a small passenger plane, so if you're claustrophobic hold tight as this movie can get pretty breathless and tight. I think this movie was a straight to DVD, and I avoid them types at all costs, but Altitude caught my attention when I saw those tentacles in the sky and a Kraken like creature roaring in the clouds in the trailer. It's different, I'll give you that, and the twist end was one I didn't see coming. For those who are unsure about watching this re-think it, Altitude is a neat little thriller with surprisingly solid performances, characters that, despite some cockiness, are worth following as well as a lot of suspense, it's probably the only straight to DVD release I own and probably the only one I've ever watched.

GL84 While flying to a concert in a small plane, a group of friends find themselves trapped in a nightmarish scenario that slowly kills them one-by-one and try to find a way to survive before the deadly creature finishes them off.This was a pretty hard one to get a handle on as there's a large amount of flaws here. Among the biggest flaws to this one is the main premise of the film where it manages to keep showcasing some rather troubling problems here through its overall storyline. It has one long series of scenes that are basically impossible to have happen in real life, from the storm appearing out of nowhere here that's so sudden it should've been noticed immediately even with the avoidance that should've come out of it quite easily, the numerous times of them mentioning potential mechanical problems that really gets ignored and overlooked for something else to happen that really doesn't do much to quell the beyond-ridiculous stupidity that continually comes through here as there's just plain gaps in logic that comes from the senseless action the group throws out in this one. Nearly everything that occurs here makes no sense or is compounded by their flawed logic in the situation that really takes a toll on this one where it's impossible to tell the purpose behind the incidents. That's before it gets to the last ten minutes, which are so absurd it ends the film on such a sour note it's impossible to really like this one more, as these events are so troubling and stupid there's so little to like about it or the concept of what it means to the rest of the film here. The last flaw here is the big set-up in here, as initially this one started out with the utterly- annoying jerks whining and complaining about anything and everything despite the fact that these are supposed to be friends so the way they interact here makes it impossible to care for them at all, a tactic that you see in some many of these kinds of films and that merely compounds the flaws, which is a shame since there's a lot of potential for some fun to happen here. This one gets some good here in the opening stages of them inside the plane as it actually comes together somewhat here where the escalation of events and malfunctions gets pretty chilling playing out as realistically as this one does, which is about the only place that actually appears. When it gets to the repeated attacks in the cabin here as it slowly takes them out one-by-one eventually revealing the huge monstrosity following them, coupled with the situation with the ominous storm-clouds makes for some interesting things to happen. Overall, though, there's still way too many flaws against this one.Rated R: Graphic Language and Violence.
