Airborne

"All it takes for evil to win is for good people to do nothing." During a snow storm in London all flights are canceled except for one. Malcolm (Hamill) is responsible for getting the plane safely to where it needs to be before retiring. Soon after take off the passengers begin to notice strange things going on as one by one the passengers start to disappear. Tensions begin to mount until they find the pilots both dead, then fear takes over. Going in I had pretty low expectations for this one, which may have helped in my enjoyment of it. This was better then I expected and for being another stuck-on-a-plane-in-flight movie this actually had a little twist to the genre. This movie is B-rate at best though as the biggest stars are Mark Hamill and the old guy from "Snatch". This is not really a movie to rush out and buy but this does the job if you are looking for a rental to entertain you for an hour or so. Overall, nothing amazing but entertaining and keeps your attention. I kinda liked it. I surprisingly give it a B.

With my expectations of viewing a 3.0 film this thing might actually have exceeded them, though not too much. There are numerous plot holes & some novice acting throughout but somehow I was unable to stop watching, maybe I'm just a sucker for B movie airplane horrors. There was just enough mystery & level of suspense to rope me in to the end, even though I was sure I would be rolling my eyes over it. Actually there was quite a bit of eye rolling, I laughed at a good part of it. I won't even begin to lay down the plot, I went in blind & I think that's why it worked. There were a few recognizable actors from the UK to give credit to with Craig Conway & Billy Murray, both with long careers in many memorable films, though they may have been limited with the script here. Hell at least it was better than a SyFy channel film although I don't recommend going to any great lengths to obtain this time killer.

If you choose to rent it on PPV just be sure it's either on $.99 special or that you just happen to be a fan of the genre in the mood for an off beat suspense/thriller to have fun with while you wait for people to die. I'll give it a 5/10 it tried & while it failed in some areas it was entertaining to the end, not bad for 2AM & a laugh. Anyone who says this is the worst they have seen has a VERY limited experience in the genre!

This is my first review, I just had to "counter" the obviously producer- written review already here. Do they have no shame?

This movie was such a disappointment. Back and forth, yelling, screaming, some blood, some dead people, some footage from the control tower or wherever and some footage of a box. Combine this with an elderly man who has got some insight into Mayan mythology, and you are pretty much set.

Could've been so much better, many of the actors actually do a good job and footage/"gore" not so bad.

But, as a movie and entertainment product - its a farce.

Sadly I spent £3.49 renting this film online. If it had cost 29p it would have been too much. But it isn't the money that bothers me, it's the time I wasted watching the film believing that it must, surely, get better at some point. Imagine the worst B movie you can - add in poor special effects, rubbish acting and a storyline worthy of a 6 year old and you might get close to understanding how awful this film is. It wasn't funny, you didn't care if any of the characters died (in fact you pretty much hoped all of them would) and I would go as far as to say that this represented the worst of British filmmaking. There wasn't an option to put less than one star - but if there had have been, I most definitely would have used it!

This isn't very good at all. Its wooden, the men sound like they're mainly extras from Eastenders or are so spineless & pathetic they would say boo to a goose apart from one stupid foulmouthed granddad whose portrayal of a hard nut leads a lot to be desired. From the crew to the SIS this film sucks harder than a Dysan hoover. Basically on a plane, people start disappearing; bodies found in the hold, mouthy passengers get on your nerves. Three quarters of the way through the film you're praying the dam plane crashes and kills the lot of them. A couple of punch ups, usual idiot with a gun (oh yes they let him on a plane with a gun in his luggage) thats the level of realism in this terrible film. It even has the shouty shouty stupid paranoid American, just for good measure
