A waste of talent when't into this piece of garbage. How could Meredith Baxter and the rest of the cast participate in the making of this film,makes me wonder. I saw the film,airline disaster for sale on Amazon.com. 22.95 plus postage and handling. I would not pay 22 cents. If this show up in any rental shops or stores,avoid it like the plague. The special effects in this film were so cheap, and the action scenes,one agent disarms all the highjackers,I think their were 10 of them,and all of them got through the security points with their guns. The photography was bad,to be truthful,their is nothing I can say good about this film. Avoid it.
I quite enjoy watching really bad B movies. Some are very good in a very bad way but most of all they are very funny because they are not intended to be.
If you consider Ed Woods B movies from the 50's which were truly awful but today are kind of classic for their awfulness they really are in a different league of B movie to this. Ed Wood was a little bit nutty and totally believed in what he was doing, that's what made his movies great. Anyway, in today's world it really amazes me anyone would put up the money for this utter drivel. The makers have tried to make a serious suspense movie but have failed on ever level imaginable including those you cant imagine. I couldn't watch it all. Cliché after cliché and just so utterly predictable. Highly irritating within about 3 nano seconds. If the plane had crashed and everyone died within the first five minutes of the film and then it just went on to show pictures of fake log fire for the next hour and a half I would have been satisfied. At least then there would have been a point, insulting, but a point never the less.
Please, if your going to make a B movie make it truly awful. Have the scenery falling down, when actors fluff their words, just carry on. Have the decency to respect the genre.

Who ever gave this a rating of 2 was being generous.
In 2010, CGI has come along way and should be realistic. This film has the Worst CGI I have ever seen, not to mention the worst acting, and worst continuity. It reminded me of the movie Airplane, and it's sequels, but those movies were meant to be parodies and funny. I think this was supposed to be a drama.
The actual story line could have made for an interesting thriller movie, but the producer of this film missed everything that could have been missed on every count and ended up with an embarrassing entry on his resume.
I cannot believe they spent money and came up with this crap. Meridith Baxter should have a long talk with her agent about what this will do for her career in film.

Meredith Baxter must have been in desperate need for money to star in this example of a airplane disaster type of film. To begin with,around ten individuals were able to get through security with their guns and board this aircraft. With all the security,at our nations airports, I don't think so. The special effects were sub standard,by todays standards. I have a DVD,When worlds collide,made in 1950 and the special effects in that film,made about 60 years ago,were far superior,than this cheap film. I did get a bootleg copy of this film,and I doubt no video store would wan't to have it in their rental selection. If this film ever does come available on DVD,it will probably end up in the 99 cent bargain pile.
Awful, just so utterly awful, you'd think the film-makers were about to throw couple of thousand dollars on a fire, and then thought to make this instead. As a joke. I just can't believe that the actors could keep a straight face throughout all of this.
The only thing I learnt from this movie is that all satellites make bleepy noises in orbit when they're being accessed.
The rogue mega-laser tearing up a street and a couple of buses was pretty funny, but the best humour comes when the plane is coming almost at street level over the city, people are running terrified, and a young woman stops to look over her shoulder. And we get a close up. She has a look on her face like she has mild indigestion. And then she continues running. Class.
If they'd pitched this as a comedy I might actually have bought it!
