lois-lane33 If they made this movie in three days it is excellent-if they made it in three months its maybe not so great. It gets annoying as the film nears the halfway point as they keep fighting verbally amongst themselves regarding what the next course of action should be. You eventually feel like yelling at the screen due to all the waffling around on screen. Fair premise if not a bit implausible in this day and age. Fair acting and all the rest of it but it really does boil down to how long they took doing it. It sort of looks like a student film more than a professional film despite the fact it starts in an airliner. Most of the passengers appear to be female. The script could have been a bit better and they could have waffled around less. Waffling is annoying. Don't waffle. Even if waffling might seem like a good idea at the time. It probably isn't. Waffling that is. As in don't waffle. Even if you think they might taste good with syrup. Eat waffles. Don't waffle. Is this waffling? It might be a form of waffling. Then again it might not. That's what the film is like.

suite92 Trish and Jessie travel by jet from New York to Los Angeles for New Year's Eve. Trish is video recording. Trish's high-pitched elf voice is incredibly irritating. The new year arrives during the flight; this was quite the anticlimax until the heavy weather hits.The plane crashes in a desert area. Trish and Jessie survive. Jessie takes over filming after Trish is incapacitated.After seeing this film, not hearing the word 'okay' for about 8 years would be fine. The characters kept repeating 'okay' while examining bleeding, broken limbs, no food, no shelter, missing people, and so on. The anger at the intrusive camera seemed quite understandable. The only use I could see for the camera was as a torch (flashlight). Jessie is even less skilled at operating it took over. Jessie zooms almost continuously, concentrates on bloodied faces, and almost never focuses well.Something goes bump in the night, kills several survivors, and routs them from the leftover fuselage. Six survivors find a nearby cabin. Eventually a car comes by. The surviving air marshal has a conversation with the driver, who proceeds to drive away. The bump in the night returns and scares them out of the cabin. The ever-useless, petulant Trish holds half of them back.They find a working two-way radio in the second cabin. The initial 'replies' are indecipherable. They keep trying and eventually contact someone who will try to triangulate their position. The voice tells them to go back to the plane where the bump in the night killed people.They obey this direction. Will anyone survive?-----Scores-------Cinematography: 0/10 Hand-held nonsense. All the usual failures are there: continuous and unnecessary zooming, bad focus, bad framing, settling on a subject who is doing nothing other than zoning out.Sound: 5/10 Varies wildly. Trish's high pitched voice rates a good minus four.Acting: 0/10 The hand-held camera trumps acting.Screenplay: 2/10 Is there a story here? Way too much time is spent on the camera zooming and re-zooming and focusing on characters who are basically not moving, not talking. So far it is: plane crash, deaths, scramble, hope for rescue, then hopes dashed. Looks like a nice ten minute short.

Michael O'Keefe Also known as FILM 407; either title doesn't change any opinion of this movie. The sub-genre of found footage has hardly died. Be ready for obnoxious characters and endless chances of motion sickness. Not exactly THE BLAIR WITCH; this film is about survivors of a plane crash between NYC and Los Angeles on New Years Eve. Two teen sisters capture that horrifying flight and night on video. Of course crash survivors suffer shock, but there is always some level heads among them. A devoted stewardess and a female Air Marshall manage to keep a strange mix of personalities together before being killed one by one by an unrecognizable monster in the darkness. The shakiness of the camera matches the storyline of being filmed by an amateur and along with the horrible dialogue and almost endless bitchin' and moanin' among survivors makes the viewer prone to a buzzing headache. But then on the other hand, this type of tension may be the right setting the director was looking for. You may find the flick more irritating than just plan bad. No doubt about it, the climax grabs you. Players include: Abigail Schrader, Melanie Lyons, Samantha Lester, Brendan Patrick Connor and Jimmy Lyons.

Queen Elizabeth When you sit down to watch a horror flick the last thing you want to deal with is a bunch of loud, obnoxious and whiny people that are preventing you from enjoying the show. That is where this movie falls on its face from the word go. Seriously, we have something as miraculous as a group of misfits surviving a plane crash in the middle of the desert, but within 10 minutes I would have rather they all perished and the movie ended immediately. But let's focus on the plane crash a moment. Each and every passenger is coated in blood like a bunch of blood-frenzied vampires from what appears to be gaping head wounds. That's cool and all but it doesn't slow them down for a second nor does it shut them up. Half the party is locked up over a girl that has a splinter in her forearm or something about that critical. A tourniquet is in order for this poor girl. In the mean time some fool is running a video camera and blinding everyone in the face with it. I was amazed that the plane was in shambles with all cargo strewn about the desert but conveniently the camera with the giant lighting assembly is unscathed.Things are moving along, including the fat man that is singlehandedly annoying the crap out of the rest of the survivors. He does manage to find food for the survivors. This is when things start getting ugly. "I sar two eyes, I sar a tail, I sar some teeth" now I don't know about these idiots but I sar a dinosaur. Fast forward through an hour of them sitting in a shed crying and yelling at each other that leaves the great escape. They finally manage to find a radio and call for help and are told to go back to the plane. they find an SUV and drive back to the plane but the driver decides she doesn't like one of the other guys so she just casually runs him over. But I don't want to give away the end of the movie so go out quickly a watch this so you can see how this masterpiece ends.
