siderite I liked the film, as a performance piece from Reedus and Hounsou, and truly it's not more than that. It's a situational drama. The plot is, in fact, irrelevant. The ending scene that brings closure was already not needed.That being said, I feel like the script could have been a little more polished. The dialogue and the decisions of the characters sometimes felt a bit fractured, the movie lacks a natural fluidity. Certainly the film could have gained a point if the extra scenes - like the pointless and extra long beginning - would have been cut in favor of character development.Bottom line: it doesn't deserve such a low rating on IMDb. Cantamessa may not be the best director in the world, but for his first full length movie, he wasn't bad. I felt as if the film was inspired by Moon. It had the same feel, only with two protagonists. And as Moon, the movie could easily have been an episode of a sci-fi anthology. Moon was clearly better, though.

NateWatchesCoolMovies Air is a neat little post apocalyptic thriller full of loneliness, claustrophobia, paranoia and two really great lead performances from Norman Reedus and Djimon Hounsou. The two of them play custodians of sorts, in a cramped underground bunker. The world above is bereft of oxygen, forcing humanity to go into cryogenic hibernation. They exist in solitary down there, simple caretakers surrounded by earth's best and brightest scientists, all in silent slumber, leaving the two of them to go mad in the presence of both each other, and their memories. Reedus is Bauer, the slick loudmouth, a somewhat callous man who cares not for the sleeping scholars, his personality calcified into brittle cynicism by time and tragedy. Hounsou is a bit more soulful as Cartwright, haunted by waking visions of his deceased wife (Sandrine Holt) and morally torn when the big bad decisions of the character arc come his way. He believes what they are doing is important, while Bauer could give a crap. Soon there's trouble, and when they venture to a nearby bunker for spare parts, terrible secrets are uncovered and the shaky bond of trust between them starts to disintegrate. The film relies on its two lead actors who are both solid, especially Reedus, whose intensity ramps up in the third act to an unbearable level as secrets of his past are gradually revealed. It's obviously low budget, and as such the special effects and machinery look like they've wandered in from a Roger Corman movie at times, but it kinda works and gives the atmosphere a 'lived in', organic feel. The plot gets murky and could have done with a bit more simplicity as it trips on itself in attempts to be complex, but it's still character based at its core, and in that regard it succeeds nicely. See it for its two stars, who are given a nice dystopian arena to play in, and tell a story through emotional beats, personal crisis and mounting unease quite well.

the_doofy I have no idea what much of the dialogue spoken is, as the spoken sound is done so poorly. --I noticed one guy name 'Eric Paul' seems to have been responsible for this debacle, as he is listed for most of the spoken part of the movie tech, in three areas no less in the credits. --The premise of the movie is awesome, and it could of used better direction and better drama for the punch line, better scripted out, or maybe better script editing, but at the end of the day, if I can't understand what is being said most of the time, and its a 'thinker' movie versus eye candy, I have to give it a fail --==I like to suggest unique movies to others, but I cannot recommend this one -sorry

851222 Greetings from Lithuania."Air" (2015) is just another worthless flick set in the future were humanity is wiped out and there are only couple of survivors. "Pandorum" was so much better movie then this one, witch features a 2 times Oscar nominee and zombie show star. Acting was OK, no awards will shine in here. Although i liked some more claustrophobic scenes, but overall this movie isn't anything special, original or intriguing. There are plenty of this genres low budget films much better then this one.Overall, "Air" is below average flick, which is very quickly forgettable. I couldn't recommend it to anyone, even for genre lovers. You can skip this flick, it's not worth your time or money.
