Impacto

I rented this movie looking for a light, easy action flick. This movie was a TOTAL WASTE. This story has been done and repeated many times. Stick with 'Passenger 57' or some other major movie. Ice T is not what I would call a decent actor, but this was a total waste of his talent. This movie is totally predictable right from the start.

Under no circumstances take this movie seriously! Expect to laugh - a lot. If you hold onto this frame of mind (tightly), this movie is actually pretty cool.

It's the oldie but goodie plotline - bad guy transported on commercial airliner gets free of inept captors and takes entire plane hostage.

My, my, my. How I giggled! Everything from Michael Harris' sarcasm; James Russo's scarily eerie ability to seemingly go for long stretches of time without blinking; the hole in the cockpit; every stray bullet's attraction to the cockpit.... was it intentionally amusing? I think not. Is Ice-T's acting shocking? It is. Is the movie worth watching? Oh yes. :::snigger:::

all things considered this movie is pretty unremarkable.it has too many slow spots with nothing happening.then when there is some action,the scenes are way too long and protracted.it's your typical "nut job takes control of an airplane and the good guys try to regain control" movie.i also found it even less realistic than most movies of the genre.the dialogue was pretty lame too.the characters are your run of the mill characters for these types of movies.the acting wasn't great,either,though i did like Ice-T,who plays a federal agent in the movie.the runtime is about 94 minutes with end credits,but it sure felt a lot longer.the bottom line for me,this movie added nothing new to the genre and was certainly not as good as any of the other movies of the genre.if i were you,i would check out "Turbulence" Passenger 57",Executive "Decision" and "Con Air",which are all better examples of the genre.for me,Sonic Impact is a 4/10

The name for this movie sounded pretty cool, so i was expecting to see a fairly decent movie. Oh was i wrong, i could have read the words "Sonic Impact" over and over again for 90 minutes and probably enjoy it more than the movie itself. This movie is among the worst movies i've seen in years. STAY AWAY.

Remember that immortal sequel AIRPORT 1975? No, well the plot concerned a 747 that experiences a mid-air collision and the flight crew is killed.

Now, we have a dangerous(?) terrorist being transported on board a 747 when the usual mayhem ensues...plane suffers engine difficulties, terrorist and other prisoners escape, seize plan, kill pilot and cause structure damage to the cockpit, etc.

Anyway, an intrepid FBI agent who is also an ex-Navy SeAL, volunteers to board the plane in mid-air, take out the terrorist and his buddies and save the 747 and its passengers.

My suggestion, rent AIRPORT 75 and PASSENGER 57 and alternate every 15 minutes or so between the 2 movies and you'll get the idea behind this one!
