Notes

My quick rating 5,4/10. If you took the premise, which is sorta like "Speed" only stuck in the air, not on a bus, and recruited some better actors, this movie could've really gone somewhere. The inability to land is a pretty strong fear to instill and the story as written is quite good. Giving the way the plot gives some ideas as to what is going on, and mixes in some mystery into it is well scripted, the problem is the actors delivering it is a shame. Taking said actors and trying to give a long, drawn out speech about taking a chance (won't say why and spoil it) was cringe worthy, and what that chance is was downright stupid, but beyond that, this was a solid flick that is just dragged down by the acting, and the poor effects. Still very much worth watching andhopefully someone takes note and runs with a bigger budget to refine a nicely written script. With a couple fixes this could be a winner.
