7500

I waited years to see 7500, after numerous delays I thought I'd never experience it. The trailer looked promising, and rather terrifying too. Finally, I've seen this supernatural thriller set on a plane, and I am wholly disappointed. 7500 looks cheap, the dialogue is so unnatural it makes for unintentional laughter and the characters have no backstory or depth. Praise however goes to Nicky Whelan, whose performance is very real and rather amusing at times as a clean freak chatterbox who feels the need to boast to any passenger in her proximity. I've met people like this in real life so this character is relatable and plays a good foil to the supernatural element...An element that fails thanks to some of the most shopworn and cheap jump scares ever put to film. Without an eerie atmosphere or dread, this flight is grounded.

At first when i read about this movie I was quite interested but the name Takashi Shimizu immediately killed my interest. However since there was nothing good to watch I thought just give it a try if it's boring i can turn it off.

Considering Takashi Shimizu movies are poorly executed this is his most decent flick to date as stated by a previous reviewer. It's watchable, decent storyline but too rushed. If only the ending wasn't so rushed it would be a very decent horror flick.

Overall it is watchable not slow like most movies directed by Japanese directors. Just don't expect anything from this movie.

Hell even the Wayans Brothers make-up in White Chicks was scarier than this

But then again it seems like the director intentionally tried to make it as unscary as possible, with showing as little scares in your face as possible and keep everything very suggestive with little to no visual gore

And the acting doesn't help either, you get no real sense of fear in any of the people involved

The cast on paper is fairly impressive, a lot of famous faces there with actors and actresses that have done well in other things, but here they don't even seem to try

And perhaps my initial comparison with Lifetime movies wasn't that far off, this really has sort of a TV-movie feel to it

It's incredibly slow as well, with a running time of 75 minutes without the credit you'd expect that it couldn't get boring very often but it really does, more than once

There are so many better thrillers that take place on a plane than this one so if you're considering watching this despite of what I just wrote let me instead recommend: SNAKES ON A PLANE, NON STOP, FLIGHTPLAN, RED EYE, PASSENGER 57... Heck even PANIC BUTTON is better than this...

I just saw this, and it was much better than I expected it to be. The end was very different. The suspense is good because they have you thinking something different is going on than actually is. I thought the Liz was really over the top, but the rest of the characters were good enough for who they were supposed to be. I thought Leslie Bibb and Jamie Chung stood out and did good jobs on their roles. I'd recommend this to those who like an entertaining movie. I didn't feel like turning it off. I have to write 10 lines, so two more lines left to go. lol. I like airplane suspense movies when they're done well, and this was. For what it was, it was a fun movie.

In Los Angeles, the Vista Pacific Flight 7000 departs to Tokyo in a ten- hour flight. The flight attendants Laura Baxter (Leslie Bibb) and Suzy Lee (Jamie Chung) receive the passengers, among them Brad (Ryan Kwanten) and his wife Pia Martin (Amy Smart) that have broken up; the newlywed Rick (Jerry Ferrara) and Liz Lewis (Nicky Whelan) that are traveling in a honeymoon trip; and the well-resolved Jacinta Bloch (Scout Taylor- Compton), who is sat close to Liz and Rick. Laura is having a love affair with the Captain Pete Haining (Johnathon Schaech) that is married and her behavior is questioned by Suzy. After passing by a turbulence, the passenger Lance Morrell (Rick Kelly) dies and the crew brings his body to the first class. Then there is a pressure drop in the cabin and Brad helps several passenger to use the oxygen mask. When the pressure returns to normal, Captain Haining loses contact with ground control. Soon weird things happen in the plane and Brad, Rick, Jacinta, Pia and Liz decide to investigate who Lace was. Soon they find that he was a dealer of dolls and a "shinigami" inside a wooden box. Jacinta explains that the Eastern doll would be equivalent to The Ripper; however she collects souls only if those that let go whatever hold them to Earth. What has happened to the Flight 7500?

"7500" is a horror movie directed by the cult-director Takashi Shimizu from "The Grudge", with a good story that deserved a better screenplay. The creepy conclusion is a great twist and surprises any viewer. Unfortunately many of them did not understand the message of the story. First of all, death is part of life since everyone is going to die. Therefore, we should not waste time with insignificant things and try to resolve any problem with those we love; otherwise we would regret when time comes. Last but not the least, when death comes, the person shall have resolved whatever holds him or her to Earth; otherwise the person will be trapped in-between. Back to the movie, when Jacinta discovers what has happened to her, she easily waits for the "shinigami". However, the death doll does not collected the souls of the two couples since they still have problems between them. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Vôo 7500" ("Flight 7500")
