Air Collision Apocalypse

Air Collision does have some great novelty entertainment value, and not because it is a genuinely funny movie but because of how badly done everything is. It is truly inept on all levels but it's difficult not to be entertained by it. The commercial pilot is also a somewhat believable character. Visually and technically Air Collision is incredibly amateurish, listing the continuity and technical errors would fill a book with the same amount of pages as the most lengthy Stephen King book(we are talking around the 1400 page number), and the editing is the very meaning of haphazard. Air Collision may have some great unintentional comedy but as a drama it is downright lousy. The dialogue is some of the most inane and vomit-inducing of any movie recently, while the story consists of very unfocused, senseless and increasingly implausible storytelling, uneven pacing(with a slow start and a lot of the later parts feeling rushed), science and physics that you can't get your head round and melodrama that is far too dull, stilted and ham-fisted to be taken seriously. The characters are little more than personality-less stereotypical ciphers, the commercial pilot is the only one with the slightest bit of credibility, and the acting ranges from stiff to over-compensated, in short very bad. The direction is flat and has very little distinction or character, the director seemed more concerned about doing his job and he doesn't do it very well unfortunately. To conclude, really bad in almost all areas, it has unintentional novelty value going for it but that is it. 2/10 Bethany Cox

The story itself is pretty good, but it's very obvious it's a low budget sloppily-made movie. I came across this movie on my TV about 30 minutes in. I watched it for about 20 minutes before changing channels as I still had no idea what was going on. The acting apart from a few main character actors was dreadful and unbelievable. It's a shame because the plot is pretty good & it could've been big, had it been acted and directed by professionals and actual actors. Nothing makes sense, I keep asking my TV questions every few seconds. Awful movie. I hope someone makes a remake with actual actors and producers/directors.

I laughed so hard when the man in the plane was having a medical emergency and the guy started cpr on home while he's still awake and breathing. I think by doing that he killed him. I'm pretty sure also if they got the pads to stick they would've defibrillated him while he was awake too lmaooo. Don't they hire people to review what to do in a emergency at least common stuff like wait until the patient looks dead and isn't still talking to begin cpr? That was the silliest part to me. Other than that the movie was watchable.

This is one of the worst movies I have ever watched, probably the worst. A horrible cocktail containing a childish scenario, bad production, bad directing, worse acting, and even worse special effects. I would give it 2 stars if it was a home made movie, maybe 3 if it was x-rated. It should be kept in a film museum somewhere as the ultimate bad example of an action movie. It should also be taught in film schools as list of what not to do. I would love to elaborate on specific aspects of the plot, the directing or the acting, however I feel that someone has released this movie as a prank, to observe how many people will take it seriously and won't understand the joke. It is a torture to watch from beginning to end, and the only reason one would make it to the end titles would be perverse curiosity.

Oh dear lord, this was hilarious. It was so bad and so full of errors that it was actually a great joy to watch. It was just one mistake after another, and for me it grew into a sport to spot the goof and errors in this movie. And trust me, there is a lot!

For starters when the very first thing appeared on the screen was The Asylum, then I knew this was going to be one of those movies. Yeah, you know which ones I am taking about, because The Asylum trademark is founded upon these laughable low-budget disaster (and monster) movies. And "Air Collision" is no different, and why should it be?

The story is about two air planes on a collision course with one another; one being a commercial carrier and the other is none other than Air Force One itself. Indeed, how very original. But it gets better, because everything that can go wrong, will go wrong in this movie, and that is what makes it so darned hilarious. The story itself is actually entertaining enough, that much credit should be given to The Asylum, but for everything else, well it is just a standard run of the low-budget disaster movie mill.

As for the cast tied into this movie, well initially I think people were doing an overall good enough job with the acting, given the material they had to work with. So it was not on this aspect that the movie was halting.

And as we all know (and love) about The Asylum and their movie productions, then they enjoy taking the same scene and show it repeatedly through the feature. And true enough, the same goes for this movie, a lot of repeated usage of the same footage over and over. Classic The Asylum stuff right there.

Then let's move on to some of the glorious mistakes and goofs throughout "Air Collision". For starters, the questionable CGI effects with the faulty satellites, that was just amazing. Especially because they all were faulty and fell down from the skies, most of them managing to strike populated areas, oddly enough, wonder if they had some kind of guidance system for their crash course. But questionable CGI is sort of part of The Asylum's trademark productions, so let's not linger too much about that.

When Dr. Antonia Pierce (played by Erin Coker) scaled the fence and was stopped by a soldier, that was just priceless. Let's back it up a notch, there was nowhere in the vicinity that the soldier could be hiding (or lurking), and yet the good Antonia couldn't see him, but immediately as she set foot on the ground he magically appeared and arrested her. That had got to be some impressive camouflaging on his part.

Or during the scene where the commercial airline had it's hull ripped open, and the people on board it managed to seal the massive gap in the hull with duffel bags and hand-carry trolleys. Wait, what? Seriously? Yeah! Seriously!

You just got to love the menacing sky that turns all purplish-pink with constant (and repeated footage) lightning over and over. But then in the next scene it is a clear blue sky with lazy clouds, but then later on turns back to purplish-pink. Pick one and stick with it already!

And lets not forget about the bearded hippie-like passenger with the headband who was sucked out of the air plane when the roof was missing, nothing wrong with that as per se. But then a couple of scenes later he was back in the plane, sitting comfortable in his seat. What the... So he was sucked out of the air plane, went for a spin through the air and miraculously returned back to the seat? How is it even possible to make a mistake like that?

Another of my favorite goofs was when Bob Abbot (played by Reginald VelJohnson) and his intern made it to the Cleveland Museum of Aviation and could just walk around there undisturbed by neither other visitors or guard personnel, and better yet, go up and start using, modifying and tinkering with museum exhibitions without anyone raising any objections, questions or even asking what was going on, that was just priceless. So no one except those two were at the museum? Yeah, that seems likely.

Alright, well aside from all these really, really bad mistakes and goofs, then "Air Collision" is not amongst the worst of movies to have been produced by The Asylum. And that being said, should actually weigh heavily in the mind of those familiar with their previous work.

"Air Collision" is far from a super great movie, but there are far worse and more ridiculous disaster movies available out there. This movie is worth watching, I suppose, if you are just laying about on the couch with no energy (possibly nurturing a bad hangover) and just want something silly to laugh at and be mildly entertained by.
