In Flight

I found the movie to be utterly delightful, captivating me from beginning to end. The main actors delivered exceptional performances, each bringing their characters to life with such authenticity and depth. I must admit, I wasn't expecting the twist at the end; though I sensed something was amiss, I could not have predicted the specific outcome. This unexpected turn was a pleasant surprise that added layers to the narrative. Cristo Fernandez, in particular, stood out with his compelling performance. He infused the story with a great sense of mystery and an undercover vibe, keeping me interested. His portrayal was nothing short of mesmerizing. Overall, it was a really great movie that surpassed my expectations for sure!

The movie was a bit jumbled, and never quite understood where the movie was going. I wish there was more to the movie as far as explaining what was happening during the movie. The idea was good, but left more contusion. The acting wasn't bad, which is why the movie was easy to get through, and the story line left enough to keep a person watching to see what the outcome was going to be.

This movie is something I would recommend to a person, if that person were asking for a somewhat decent movie to keep them occupied for an hour and a half. Is this a must see movie? Not by any means, but again it does enough.

Let me just start with the synopsis... whoever wrote "... she catches the eye of a mysterious, handsome stranger.", is either blind or failing miserably at trying to be funny.

I am really sorry, but the guy is hideous.

The moment he comes on, right there and then I knew I was being taken for, the proverbial ride, as the short description of what the movie is about, was a ruse.

All bad reviews are correct: the story misses narrative, there are many holes, it is unintelligible at points...

Again, I am all for people starting from somewhere and being given opportunities, but there should be some supervision, as there are some major goofs which would not be there if an experienced director / producer / gaffer, etc... had been present at the time. Let me just point out two, very obvious:

• (I have NOTHING AGAINST Sandi McCree, who I did not know existed until I saw her here) No airline hires 5 foot hostesses. I already made this comment in the "Fight or Flight" review. But in this case, apart from short, the lady almost does not fit the aisles... I APOLOGIZE AGAIN for pointing out someone's shortcomings (no pun intended), but there is no way, in the real world, this lady would be a hostess;
• Only two people (host and hostess) for a 9 seat per row jet airliner, even though there were few people? In one of the scenes, we see the hostess go through 4 different spaces in the airplane. There would be AT LEAST two different teams, one for first class and another for coach...

I admit that, in the end, when You get the whole story (which is not very difficult... I mean... I knew what was going at about 1/3 of the film) the layout makes sense, but no one, in their right mind (and she is there because, apparently, she is gifted), would take too long to know that nothing made sense there...

And when the revelation occurs, that is when You really see how untalented these actors are. Monotonic, no depth, no feeling, no emotion... there's nothing there! They are regurgitating the script like a kid would read out the shopping list for this mother at the mall... just plain, flat out inexistent deliveries from ALL the cast.

This is just bad, man... some movies are not good, but allow You to spend some time at home with family, relaxing, whatever.... this one doesn't...

Whoever commissioned this movie needs to be forever barred from a movie set in the future. Most of the time, I can give an awful movie a fair chance and hope that things turn around. After seeing the reviews here, I prepared myself for the worst and knew it would be a failure.

The funniest thing is at the beginning when these two attractive women were ogling at a Neanderthal-looking being who hasn't cut his hair in five years. Also, When you see only a handful of passengers on an overseas flight, that already tells you something is amiss. All in all, the story is unexplained.

The writers stretched a potential Twilight Zone episode into 90 minutes of nonsense and predictability. Nothing is noteworthy, except perhaps for the music.

While I had indeed never heard about this 2024 thriller, prior to stumbling upon it here in 2025, I must admit that the movie's synopsis did actually sound interesting. And with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give it a fair chance.

Writers John Ierardi and Drew McAnany put together a script and storyline that had potential, though I have to say that the narrative was struggling with the slow pacing. There wasn't much of anything interesting or thrilling happening throughout the course of the movie, and that made sitting through "In Flight" quite an ordeal. And it made zero sense that there would be so few passengers on an overseas flight. That is not really how commercial airlines operate. So that was pretty bad writing.

I was actually not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, which actually was a nice thing, as I do enjoy watching new and unfamiliar talents on the screen. The acting performances in the movie were fair.

There are far better thrillers out there in the same ilk as "In Flight", say "Red Eye" from 2005 for example.

"In Flight" was a difficult movie to sit through, and it most certainly is not a movie that will grace my screen a second time. Would I recommend you to sit down and watch "In Flight"? Nope.

My rating of director Bo Youngblood's 2024 thriller "In Flight" lands on a very generous three out of ten stars.
