oceanicairlines I am a pilot, and am very familiar with commercial aircraft, but the scenes in this movie contain several different aircraft, until they finally choose a poor computer generation of a Boeing 767-200ER for Inter-Americas flight 209. However the cabin and flight deck are right for the aircraft unlike many movies today. I love the cabin attendants, the best service I have ever seen. Just watch and you'll see why Michelle has to be one of the best flight attendants. The story it's self is very predictable, and the acting for some of the characters is subservient. But overall it is a good movie to sit and veg with on a Friday night, how ever I don't like the fact that it doesn't make you think, other than how unrealistic this is. Also a passenger who has no flying experience, could not ever under any circumstances land a 767 on a field. The aircraft comes in for a landing at 160-180mph, and handles like a bus, so the ending is unrealistic. However it is true that that aircraft can make a landing on a field, it has happened, but only with an experienced crew.

uds3 If ever a film deserved "WTF?" It's this one. But hey they all had such FUN making it.This is not a movie to be reviewed subjectively. You couldn't even call it a movie, but you know what? I enjoyed the whole damn thing. From probably the worst plane fx ever put up on screen, to the shoddy "lets blow it up then show it again from another angle" cinematography.. right the way though to Rutger Hauer's comical turn as the "wannabe baddest z-grade terrorist" ever unleashed on an unsuspecting bunch of refugees from the ANACONDA film set. The "Shadow People?????" heheheh! My only question is how did they ever get these actors to keep a straight face when delivering their lines.Sheffer....who cut his teeth on zilch-grade flicks (TURBULENCE 3 springs to mind) excels himself here in his pursuit of Miss Anwar while endeavoring to prevent the "killer bees" (Irwin Allen sold them what he had left over from THE SWARM) from infiltrating the first-class cabin of the hitherto unknown Boeing design we see here.It is the very comical ineptitude of everyone from the Director to the tea lady that makes this the crap classic it is. Where else you gonna see killer bees massing for attack in the toilet bowl? scores of trained and fully armed commandos unable to bring down a bunch of natives with spears? A 737 perform a 180 degree U-turn in less than 5 seconds? some teenage d***wad re-program a heat seeking missile with his lap-top? ONLY here my friends! Pay homage where its due. THIS is the cruddiest and most entertaining piece of unoriginal if not downright hysterical cinematic flotsam ever to grace your local bargain-bin. Grab it while it's hot!

klaseriksson79 This is the worst movie I've seen in a long while. The story wasn't exciting at all, the scenes inside the plane were terribly unrealistic. Few movies I've seen with the "airplane disaster theme" had been good though.I mean Adam and the woman who helped pulling the Dr. North into the plane would be sucked out like never before had it been in real life.Fun to see all sharp turns that plane took in the air...So typical that a young computer geek with glasses would stop the missile from hitting the plane, seen that before? Oh yeah...So typical that it all had to end in a kiss..I would like to see the 767 that could manage that landing and still stand on its wheels while on the ground.The first scenes with the shooting took way too much time as well.There are B movies but this doesn't even qualify into that category.

Jack Wow, this is the most poorly made thing I've ever seen in my life. The story is like...I don't know what. Sometimes when you're watching a cheap B movie, something will happen that's just so stupid that you almost want to yell at the TV screen. Now, imagine a movie that consists of nothing but moments like that, one after another. It starts with a bunch of guys with machine guns fighting some guys with spears. Even though the guys with spears stand still, right out in the open, the guys with machine guns can't hit them. Every time a spear is thrown, it lands right in a barrel of rocket fuel and kills a dozen of the guys with machine guns.Then some guys attack the village where the "shadow people" live. (Aren't those the folks from Anaconda?) The helicopters fire missiles which only hit the grass huts. Then they attack with hand grenades, which only hit the previously blown up grass huts. Though they're not blown up anymore until the hand grenades hit them. Then we see a waterfall blow up, you know, from one of those Rambo movies when the Russians dropped a big bomb on Stallone. Then there's a plane that has a 727 for coach, and a DC-10 for first class. Heck, first class is as big as a restaurant or something. They put all the coach passengers in first class, and it's still half empty. Someone fires a missile at the plane, but luckily there's a nerd on board who, in a couple of minutes, reprograms the plane's computer to emit a false radar image. It's also a GCI passenger jet, and it does turns which must pull about 30 g's.And that's just a small portion of the obvious screw ups. The story of this thing makes that seem like nothing in comparison. I feel the need to repeat that - all those screw ups are absolutely nothing in comparison to the story. Imagine some ridiculously preachy environmentalist propaganda piece mixed with a horrible B movie adventure type thing, and throw in some "killer bees", which are actually just regular cute little honey bees. I really loved the part where the guy named "Saviour" (yes, I'm not kidding) starts preaching about how the female lead's government is responsible for destroying the rain forest. I mean, they're in South America, and she's obviously from Britain. The movie opens with "Tensions are high due to the United States refusal to sign the Kyoto agreement". But the point of contention is about building a highway through the rain forest. I wasn't aware that global warming is responsible for highway construction. But what does it matter...once you get preaching, it's hard to stop even if you quit making sense a couple of hours ago. As far as the mega super highway through the rain forest - it doesn't go anywhere. Are there a lot of super highways built that just sort of end out in the middle of nowhere? And then our characters find a tractor out in the middle of the jungle and conclude that it is proof that they're going to extend the highway at least as far as the position of the tractor. I guess it's inconceivable that a small tractor, 100 miles from the construction site, might be used for anything other than building a super highway. The apparent theory is that they airdrop the equipment out in the middle of the jungle so that it will be available for use when the highway gets there.There are lots of really terrible B movies out there, but they all pale in comparison to this grand accomplishment. Someone should create a research project to find out what in the world goes on inside the heads of the people who made this. It's unfathomable.
