As a 40+ year professional pilot, I can almost always manage to watch and enjoy any movie that involves airplanes, but this debacle was so awful, I couldn't make it all the way through even after trying on 3 separate occasions. The plot, the acting and the script were just abysmal, other than that it wasn't too terrible. At least I didn't pay money to watch this abortion. I can't understand why directors don't just go ahead and hire a professional pilot to consult when they make movies about airplanes, it would be a minor expense and would help to eliminate the idiotic and embarrassing mistakes they all seem to love so much.

It didn't even take 10 wasted minutes of my life to discover this hideous excuse for a film is less entertaining than watching paint dry. Perhaps to a totally stoned 4th grader it would be marginally interesting but then so would a trail of ants on the floor. No part of this debacle is even close to real or realistic. But I sure would like to get some of those binoculars that let people watch every part of an intercontinental air race. It never ceases to amaze me that movie makers who want to have airplanes in their film only rarely manage to dig up an actual pilot, or engineer or SOMEONE who isn't a total doofus, for technical advise. Another hard to believe fact is that they have the nerve to charge admission to crap like this. Boo, hiss.
