Flight 7500

There were some good elements that were original. Some things were inexplicable but were well resolved at the end. The characters were well developed for an inside-plane movie and there was an ineffable sense of mystery. The characters in fact needed to be interesting and they were. I thought the trip should have started in Japan to provide a contrast and some extra interest at he beginning. The trip would have been better departing Tokyo and proceeding to the States. Actually it would have been good to see a few more Japanese characters in it since it could have helped make it an extraordinary movie rather than just a competent movie. I am being careful not to write spoilers. I will mention that a couple of the devices had been used before and one or two of them had been used a couple of times too often before. Overall though I have a clear conscience in telling you that you are not wasting your money; but its not an extraordinary movie despite some very good elements and it is adequately entertaining.

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 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.

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.
