Air Collision

Air Collision does have some great novelty entertainment value, and not because it is a genuinely funny movie but because of how badly done everything is. It is truly inept on all levels but it's difficult not to be entertained by it. The commercial pilot is also a somewhat believable character. Visually and technically Air Collision is incredibly amateurish, listing the continuity and technical errors would fill a book with the same amount of pages as the most lengthy Stephen King book(we are talking around the 1400 page number), and the editing is the very meaning of haphazard. Air Collision may have some great unintentional comedy but as a drama it is downright lousy. The dialogue is some of the most inane and vomit-inducing of any movie recently, while the story consists of very unfocused, senseless and increasingly implausible storytelling, uneven pacing(with a slow start and a lot of the later parts feeling rushed), science and physics that you can't get your head round and melodrama that is far too dull, stilted and ham-fisted to be taken seriously. The characters are little more than personality-less stereotypical ciphers, the commercial pilot is the only one with the slightest bit of credibility, and the acting ranges from stiff to over-compensated, in short very bad. The direction is flat and has very little distinction or character, the director seemed more concerned about doing his job and he doesn't do it very well unfortunately. To conclude, really bad in almost all areas, it has unintentional novelty value going for it but that is it. 2/10 Bethany Cox

I think you need to be high to appreciate this movie.

The storyline premise was intriguing, but the actual details? Not so much. I mean the dude that's having a heart attack? People - you don't give CPR if the person is still breathing. You don't use a auto-defribrillator if the person says "I'm having a heart attack" but is still moving around (besides, auto-defribrillators won't work in that instance). If that woman with seizure activity was THAT sick, she would have kept the medication at her side.

I seriously can't even...

This is one of the worst movies I have ever watched, probably the worst. A horrible cocktail containing a childish scenario, bad production, bad directing, worse acting, and even worse special effects. I would give it 2 stars if it was a home made movie, maybe 3 if it was x-rated. It should be kept in a film museum somewhere as the ultimate bad example of an action movie. It should also be taught in film schools as list of what not to do. I would love to elaborate on specific aspects of the plot, the directing or the acting, however I feel that someone has released this movie as a prank, to observe how many people will take it seriously and won't understand the joke. It is a torture to watch from beginning to end, and the only reason one would make it to the end titles would be perverse curiosity.

An American thriller; A story about a small passenger plane on a collision course with an airliner. This action film in the disaster subgenre has for the most part a stream-of-consciousness style of storytelling. We are given to believe that a new satellite radar system has been activated to control airborne aircraft elevation and flight path in the skies, and while system override failure is not entirely inconceivable no explanation is given to the cause of it all, details like how radar is affected or how space objects don't burn up on re-entry. The director spends no time with build up, backstory or character building - it leaps into the action with low grade special effects. While the carefree editing gives it a carefree, throwaway fantasy feel, unsurprisingly tension never dwells in any of the sequences. Nevertheless, Jordan Ladd has fun with her role and Reginald VelJohnson's presence is an asset.

Hey, come on. You rent a movie about Air Force One on a collision course with another plane and you gotta already know what you're getting into. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and think it will one day reach cult status, especially since the only true star in it is "Carl Winslow" (Reginald VelJohnson) of Family Matters. His appearance alone makes it worth a watch.

Where do I start? The movie starts off slow at first and them BAM! You find yourself on a careening roller coaster of delightful entertainment implausibility. The acting, dialogue and scenarios keep a coming fast and furious, with each scene exponentially worse than the last, and I mean in a good way. I actually found myself seriously contemplating what I might do if faced with retrieving a bag containing life saving medication for a woman having a grand-mall seizure, if it meant snatching that bag from sealing a hole in the plane made by one of Air Force One's Sidewinder missiles! Admit it, you can't find that kind of mind numbing creativity in just any old movie. This one is special.

Or how about the crazy passenger who assaults the male flight attendant, gets knocked out by another passenger with a book only to awaken later and gleefully jump out of a SECOND HOLE in the top of the plane, made by scrapping the underside of Air Force One in a near miss. Can you beat that level of creative absurdity, I ask you? Simply wonderful and stupid fun. At least this movie never tries to be what it isn't, and that should be appreciated BEFORE WATCHING to get maximum enjoyment.

I loved it and will haul it out from time to time just to remind me of what makes a bad movie such a guilty pleasure. It reminds me of all those great, goofy 80's movies that were just so craftily stupid they were big, dumb fun. Watch it and check your brain at the door, you'll have a good time, I promise.
